Ascorbic acid-induced fiber-scrolling of titanium carbide Ti₃C₂T _x MXene.

ABSTRACT: Changing the morphology of two-dimensional materials often offers an efficient and effective means to exploit their electronic and mechanical properties. Two-dimensional materials such as graphene can be scrolled into one-dimensional fibers via simple sonication. Unfortunately, scrolling MXene nanosheets into fibers is quite challenging, especially Ti₃C₂T _x composed of three layers of titanium atoms and two layers of carbon atoms. Herein, we report a new method to fabricate MXene fibers via ascorbic acid (AA) induced scrolling of Ti₃C₂T _x nanosheets. An unusual AA-Ti₃C₂T _x interaction is discovered in that intercalated AA molecules bind to and interact with
