Tailoring Electronic and Optical Properties of MXenes through Forming Solid Solutions
Abstract
Alloying is a long-established strategy to tailor properties of metals for specific applications, thus retaining or enhancing the principal elemental characteristics while offering additional functionality from the added elements. We propose a similar approach to the control of properties of two-dimensional transition metal carbides known as MXenes. MXenes (Mn+1Xn) have two sites for compositional variation: elemental substitution on both the metal (M) and carbon/nitrogen (X) sites presents promising routes for tailoring the chemical, optical, electronic, or mechanical properties of MXenes. Herein, we systematically investigated three interrelated binary solid-solution MXene systems based on Ti, Nb, and/or V at the M-site in a M2XTx structure (Ti2-yNbyCTx, Ti2-yVyCTx, and V2-yNbyCTx, where Tx stands for surface terminations) showing the evolution of electronic and optical properties as a function of composition. All three MXene systems show unlimited solubility and random distribution of metal elements in the metal sublattice. Optically, the MXene systems are tailorable in a nonlinear fashion, with absorption peaks from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelength. The macroscopic electrical conductivity of solid solution MXenes can be controllably varied over 3 orders of magnitude at room temperature and 6 orders of magnitude from 10 to 300 K. Here, this work greatly increases the number of nonstoichiometricmore »
