Shear induced micromechanical synthesis of Ti3SiC2 MAXene nanosheets for functional applications

Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis of ultrathin 2D Ti3SiC2 (MAXene) nanosheets via a facile shear induced micromechanical cleavage strategy. The very high dispersion stability, the UV absorption properties, high electrical conductivity and castability into thin films make the newly derived Ti3SiC2 nanosheets an ideal candidate for many functional applications.
