Understanding of structural, electrical, and gravimetric peculiarities of water vapor interaction with ion-intercalated MXenes led to design of a multimodal humidity sensor. Neutron scattering coupled to molecular dynamics and ab initio calculations showed that a small amount of hydration results in a significant increase in the spacing between MXene layers in the presence of K and Mg intercalants between the layers. Films of K- and Mg-intercalated MXenes exhibited relative humidity (RH) detection thresholds of ~0.8% RH and showed monotonic RH response in the 0–85% RH range. We found that MXene gravimetric response to water is 10 times faster than their electrical response, suggesting that H₂O-induced swelling/contraction of channels between MXene sheets results in trapping of H₂O molecules that act as charge-depleting dopants. Here, the results demonstrate the use of MXenes as humidity sensors and infer potential impact of water on structural and electrical performance of MXene-based devices.
