Abstract
Janus MoWC belongs to the Mo 2 C and W 2 C parent MXene. This study reveals that 2H-MoWC is more stable than the 1T phase. It is an excellent mechanical 2D material. Also, 2H-MoWC is a superconductor with a T c of 1.6 K, which can be enhanced by applying biaxial strain, increasing T c to 7 K.
