Transparent, conductive solution processed spincast 2D Ti 2 CT x (MXene) films

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Herein, we spincast aqueous colloidal Ti2CTx (MXene) solutions into conductive, transparent films with figures of merit (FOM), that are as good as Ti3C2Tx or un-doped chemically vapor-deposited graphene. When normalized by the number of transition metal atoms, the FOM is the highest ever reported for a MXene film. At about 2.7 × 105 cm–1 the absorbance coefficient of Ti2CTx is quite comparable to that of Ti3C2Tx. Quantitative relationships between film properties—conductance and transparency—and colloidal solution concentration and spin speeds are developed providing a road map for future work.
