Abstract
Abstract To advance the MXene field, it is crucial to optimize each step of the synthesis process and create a detailed, systematic guide for synthesizing high‐quality MXene that can be consistently reproduced. In this study, a detailed guide is provided for an optimized synthesis of titanium carbide (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) MXene using a mixture of hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids for the selective etching of the stoichimetric‐Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX phase and delamination of the etched multilayered Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene using lithium chloride at 65 °C for 1 h with argon bubbling. The effect of different synthesis variables is investigated, including the stoichiometry of the mixed powders to synthesize Ti 3 AlC 2 , pre‐etch…
