SciMater™ Few-layer/Single-layer MXene Powder (Mo2TiC, Mo2Ti2C3, Nb4C3, V4C3)-SCI Materials Hub

Product Overview

MXenes are two-dimensional layered transition-metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides. This page presents the SciMater™ 43-series MXene portfolio, which includes Mo₂TiC, Mo₂Ti₂C₃, Nb₄C₃, and V₄C₃.

The series includes both multi-metal and single-transition-metal carbide systems. Their surfaces commonly contain terminations such as —O, —OH, and —F, which are often represented by T_x in scientific notation. Composition and product form may affect sheet structure, interfacial activity, electrochemical behavior, dispersion, and processability. Actual lateral size, thickness, layer-number distribution, surface terminations, moisture content, and oxidation state should be confirmed using batch-specific technical data.

Instructions for Use

01 Select the Product Form Select multilayer powder or few-layer / predominantly single-layer powder according to the experimental objective, and verify the chemical formula, product form, and batch documentation.
02 Weigh and Pre-Wet Add a small amount of dispersion medium to the powder first and wet it thoroughly before gradually adding more solvent to reduce floating powder and large agglomerates.
03 Assist Dispersion Vortex mixing, mechanical stirring, or low-power ultrasonication may be used. Control temperature rise and avoid prolonged high-power treatment.
04 Prepare the Sample Use vacuum filtration, drop casting, spin coating, spray coating, blade coating, electrode-slurry preparation, or composite mixing as required. Record concentration and processing conditions.
05 Store and Recheck Reseal promptly and protect from light. Before reuse, check color, dispersion state, oxidation, and signs of caking.

When handling dry powders, wear laboratory gloves, safety goggles, and an appropriate dust mask or respirator, and weigh the material in a fume hood or under local exhaust. For oxidation-sensitive experiments, minimize exposure to air, elevated temperature, and strong light.

Frequently Asked Questions

01What is the difference between multilayer and few-layer / predominantly single-layer powders?

Multilayer powder retains more distinct stacked-layer structures and is generally easier to store, weigh, and formulate. Few-layer / predominantly single-layer powder contains thinner sheets and more accessible interfaces, making it more suitable for thin films, sensing, catalysis, and interface assembly.

02Does “few-layer / predominantly single-layer” mean that every sheet is strictly monolayer?

Not necessarily. The description generally means that single-layer and few-layer sheets are the principal components; it does not mean that every sheet is strictly monolayer. Layer-number and thickness distributions should be evaluated using AFM, TEM, or other relevant characterization.

03What is the difference between Mo₂TiC and Mo₂Ti₂C₃?

Their elemental ratios and carbon-layer compositions differ, so their sheet structures, electronic states, and experimental performance may also differ. Selection should be based on the research objective, product form, and batch-specific technical data.

04Can MXene powder be dispersed directly in water?

A small-scale dispersion test is recommended first. Dispersion depends on surface terminations, oxidation state, concentration, temperature, and ultrasonication conditions. Pre-wet the powder thoroughly and then use stirring or low-power ultrasonication to disperse it gradually.

05How should MXene materials be stored?

Store sealed, protected from light, and with minimal exposure to air and moisture. Low-temperature or inert-atmosphere storage may be used for oxidation-sensitive experiments. Use opened material promptly and avoid repeated prolonged exposure.
