Electrically reading a light-driven molecular switch on 2D-Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene <i>via</i> molecular engineering: towards responsive MXetronics
José Muñoz, Mario Palacios‐Corella, Martin Pumera
Abstract
2D-Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was covalently functionalized with a photo-active molecule, azobenzene, to optically write/erase two distinguished electrical states. This work paves the way toward real applicability of 2D-MXenes by providing a new family of “Responsive MXetronics”.
