Ionic liquid-based synthesis of MXene. Issue 75 (19th August 2020) - Husmann, Samantha
Abstract : MAX phases are etched using an ionic liquid–water mixture to produce titanium carbide MXenes. The process avoids the use of any acid. Abstract : MAX phases are etched using an ionic liquid–water mixture to produce titanium carbide MXenes. The process avoids the use of any acid. Hydrolysis of the fluorine-containing ionic liquid leads to the selective removal of Al, while the ionic liquid is intercalated in-between the transition metal carbide layers.
