Abstract:
Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub> (MXene) exhibits attractive properties in different applications. However, traditional synthesis leads to unsatisfactory yield of two-dimensional (2D) Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub>, e.g., lower than 20%, which stems from the strong interactions of potential Ti-Ti bonds and residual Ti-Al bonds between the adjacent Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub> layers, hindering the effective intercalation and delamination. Herein, we propose a facile hydrothermal-assisted intercalation (HAI) strategy to boost the yield of 2D sheets, achieving a record high value of 74%. This HAI assists the diffusion and intercalation of reagent effectively, promoting the subsequent delamination; meanwhile, an antioxidant is applied to protect these Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub> from oxidation during the HAI process. Therefore, massive Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub> 2D sheets can be easily synthesized. Thanks to the synergistic effect of high conductivity and substantial terminated functionalities, these Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub> 2D sheets show promising application in supercapacitor, providing a high capacitance of 482 F g<sup>-1</sup>. Besides, the ultrafast carrier dynamics results of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub> 2D sheets clearly imply the promising application in photocatalysis due to the relatively long bleaching relaxation time. Our work not only paves the way for the mass production of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T <sub>x</sub> 2D sheets but also provides insights into their electronic and optical properties.
