Abstract
Inside Back Cover In article number 2300030, Anasori and co-workers present a detailed guide for the optimized synthesis of titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene and investigate the effects of selective etching and delamination conditions. The resulting Ti3C2Tx MXene film exhibits high electrical conductivity (≈21,000 S/cm) and a synthesis yield of 38 %. This study also provides a detailed step-by-step recipe for high-quality Ti3C2Tx MXene synthesis.
