Abstract
MXenes, an emerging family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, have shown promise in various applications, such as energy storage, electromagnetic interference shielding, conductive thin films, photonics, and photothermal therapy. Their metallic nature, wide range of optical absorption, and tunable surface chemistry are the key to their success in those applications. The physical properties of MXenes are known to be strongly dependent on their surface terminations. In this study, we investigated the electronic properties of Ti3C2Tx for different surface terminations, as achieved by different annealing temperatures, with the help of photoelectron spectroscopy, inverse photoelectron spectroscopy, and…
