Abstract

2D Ti3C2 nanosheets, multilayer structures, and conical scrolls produced by room temperature exfoliation of Ti3AlC2 in HF are reported. Since Ti3AlC2 is a member of a 60+ group of layered ternary carbides and nitrides, this discovery opens a door to the synthesis of a large number of other 2D crystals.
