Abstract:
Submicron Ti3AlC2 grains are grown in molten salt. Etching the grains gives rise to small-sized Ti3C2Tx MXene particulates with capacitance more than twice that of the large ones derived from conventional high-temperature synthesis. Detailed electrochemical, structural, and spectroscopic studies demonstrate that increased capacitance predominantly originates from a decrease in the lateral size of the small Ti3C2Tx MXene particulates.
