Abstract
MXene inks are promising candidates for fabricating conductive circuits and flexible devices. Here, MXene inks prepared from solvent mixtures demonstrate long-term stability and can be employed in commercial rollerball pens to write electronic circuits on flexible substrates. Such circuits exhibit a fast and accurate capacitive response for touch-boards and water level measurement, indicating the excellent potential of these MXene inks in electrical device fabrication.
