Synthesis of Three Isoelemental MXenes and Their Structure-Property Relationships.

ABSTRACT: The MXene family has rapidly expanded since its discovery in 2011 to include nearly 50 unique MXenes, not accounting for solid solutions and diverse surface terminations. However, a question raised since their discovery has been: What is the effect of n? In other words, how does the number of layers affect the MXene properties? To date, no direct study of the impact of n has been conducted due to the lack of isoelemental MXene compositions spanning more than two n values. Herein, we report on a system of three MXenes with identical M-site chemistries, (Mo_2/3V_1/3)_n+1C_nT_x (n = 1, 2, and 3), allowing for the study of MXene structure-property relationships across n, for the first time
