Large-scale delamination of multi-layers transition metal carbides and carbonitrides "MXenes".

Synthesis of two-dimensional materials by selective extraction.

CONSPECTUS: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much attention in the past decade. They offer high specific surface area, as well as electronic structure and properties that differ from their bulk counterparts due to the low dimensionality. Graphene is the best known and the most studied 2D material, but metal oxides and hydroxides (including clays), dichalcogenides, boron nitride (BN...

Control of electronic properties of 2D carbides (MXenes) by manipulating their transition metal layers

Synthesis and Characterization of 2D Nanocrystals and Thin Films of Transition Metal Carbides (MXenes)

Transparent Conductive Two-Dimensional Titanium Carbide Epitaxial Thin Films

Since the discovery of graphene, the quest for two-dimensional (2D) materials has intensified greatly. Recently, a new family of 2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) was discovered that is both conducting and hydrophilic, an uncommon combination. To date MXenes have been produced as powders, flakes, and colloidal solutions. Herein, we report on the fabrication of ∼1 × 1 cm2 T...

Dirac points with giant spin-orbit splitting in the electronic structure of two-dimensional transition-metal carbides

Dirac points with giant spin-orbit splitting in the electronic structure of two-dimensional transition-metal carbides, 2015, Physical Review B. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, especially their most prominent member, graphene, have greatly influenced many scientific areas. Moreover, they have become a base for investigating the relativistic properties of condensed matter within the emerging fiel...
