The elemental diversity is crucial to screen out ternary MAX phases with outstanding properties via tuning of bonding types and strength between constitutive atoms. As a matter of fact, the interactions between M and A atoms largely determine the physical and chemical properties of MAX phases. Herein, Se element was experimentally realized to occupy the A site of a MAX phase, Zr2SeC, becoming a new member within this nanolaminated ternary carbide family. Comprehensive characterizations including Rietveld refinement of X-ray Diffraction and atom-resolved transmission electron microscopy techniques were employed to validate this novel MAX phase. The distinct thermal conduction behaviors emerged are attributed to the characteristic interactions between Zr and Se atoms.
