摘要 |
The present invention(s) relates to cost effective methods of preparing MXene carbide compositions having a formula Mn+1Cn(Ts), especially those comprising titanium and carbon, the methods comprising reacting an oxide of M, elemental A, and carbon at elevated temperatures (e.g., greater than 800°C) under an inert or non-oxidizing atmosphere to form an intermediate product; optionally reducing the particle size of the intermediate product, and reacting the intermediate product directly with a source of aqueous hydrofluoric acid. |
