Fabrication of MXene transparent conductive films via transfer process

Abstract In this study, we fabricate MXene transparent conductive films via a transfer process. The results show that the transferred transparent conductive films using titanium carbide MXene have ca. 100 times higher electrical conductivity than conventional spray-coated samples. Transparency and electrical conductivity are easily controlled by changing the amount of MXene materials. The scanning electron microscopy observations reveal that the transferred films have a smooth and uniform MXene flake network. The closer interlayer distance of the MXene flakes when compared to the spray-coated sample, which enables superior electrical conductivity, is confirmed by the X-ray diffraction measurement.
