SciMater™ MXene Dispersion (32 Series, Ti3C2, Ti3CN)-SCI Materials Hub

Product Overview

MXene dispersions are colloidal systems in which two-dimensional MXene sheets are distributed in a liquid medium. The liquid form reduces powder weighing, pre-wetting, and redispersion steps and is suitable for direct coating, film formation, slurry preparation, electrode processing, polymer mixing, and composite fabrication.

Ti₃C₂ is a transition-metal carbide, while Ti₃CN is a transition-metal carbonitride. Their surfaces commonly contain terminations such as —O, —OH, and —F, and the materials are frequently written as Ti₃C₂T_x and Ti₃CNT_x in scientific literature. Actual lateral size, thickness, layer-number distribution, solvent composition, pH, surface terminations, and dispersion stability should be confirmed using batch-specific technical data.

Ti₃C₂

Ti₃C₂ Dispersion Systems

Available as 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL aqueous dispersions and as 5 mg/mL dispersions in ethanol, DMF, or DMSO for films, coatings, electrodes, polymers, and composite processing.

Ti₃CN

Few-Layer / Predominantly Single-Layer Dispersion Based on relatively thin MXene sheets and suitable for vacuum filtration, drop casting, spray coating, spin coating, blade coating, electrode preparation, and composite mixing.

Organic-Medium Dispersion Ti₃C₂ can be supplied in ethanol, DMF, or DMSO to support compatibility studies with polymers, coatings, binders, and organic composite processes.

Concentrations are nominal. Confirm the batch-specific solvent, pH, solids content, lateral size, layer-number distribution, viscosity, and storage requirements before use.

Ethanol is flammable. DMF and DMSO require solvent-compatible gloves, eye protection, and operation in a well-ventilated fume hood. DMSO can enhance dermal transport of dissolved substances. Confirm compatibility with the substrate, binder, polymer, tubing, seals, and other process materials before use. Follow the applicable safety data sheet and institutional chemical-handling procedures.

Quick Selection Recommendations

Research Requirement	Recommended System	Recommended Processing Route	Selection Rationale
Routine aqueous coating, thin films, electrodes, and easy dilution	Ti₃C₂ Water 5 mg/mL	Vacuum filtration, drop casting, spin coating, spray coating, or slurry preparation	Lower concentration provides convenient dilution and process adjustment for general aqueous workflows.
High-solids aqueous slurries, thicker films, and reduced solvent volume	Ti₃C₂ Water 10 mg/mL	Blade coating, concentrated electrode slurry, multilayer deposition, or thick-film preparation	Higher solids content supports concentrated processing and thicker deposits.
Polymer composites, organic binders, solvent-based coatings, and nonaqueous processing	Ti₃C₂ Organic 5 mg/mL	Select ethanol, DMF, or DMSO according to polymer, binder, substrate, and drying compatibility	Organic media may improve compatibility with selected polymers and solvent-based coating systems.
Carbonitride films, sensing, interfaces, and Ti₃CN composite research	Ti₃CN 5 mg/mL	Film deposition, sensing-layer preparation, electrode coating, or composite mixing	Recommended when carbonitride composition and Ti₃CN interfacial behavior are the primary research focus.

Final selection should also consider solvent compatibility, pH, solids content, viscosity, wetting behavior, substrate treatment, binder system, drying conditions, lateral size, layer-number distribution, surface terminations, oxidation state, and batch-specific stability.

Instructions for Use

01 Inspect Before Use Check color, sedimentation, leakage, and container integrity. Mild reversible sedimentation may be addressed by gentle mixing.
02 Mix Gently Use vortex mixing, slow stirring, or brief low-power ultrasonication. Avoid prolonged high-power treatment and significant temperature rise.
03 Adjust Concentration Dilute gradually with a compatible medium and record the dilution ratio, final concentration, mixing time, and processing conditions.
04 Prepare the Sample Use vacuum filtration, drop casting, spin coating, spray coating, blade coating, electrode-slurry preparation, or composite mixing as required.
05 Reseal and Store Reseal immediately after use, protect from light, and minimize air exposure and repeated temperature fluctuations.

For organic-medium systems, confirm compatibility of the substrate, binder, polymer, tubing, seals, and other components with ethanol, DMF, or DMSO. Handle volatile or hazardous solvents in a well-ventilated fume hood and follow the relevant safety data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

01How should I choose between 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL?

The 5 mg/mL dispersion is convenient for dilution, coating, and process optimization. The 10 mg/mL aqueous Ti₃C₂dispersion provides higher solids content for concentrated slurries, thicker films, multilayer deposition, or experiments that require less solvent. A small-scale process test is recommended.

02How should I choose among ethanol, DMF, and DMSO for Ti₃C₂?

Select the solvent according to polymer, binder, substrate, coating, drying, and equipment compatibility. Ethanol is volatile and flammable; DMF and DMSO have different polarity, boiling points, and safety considerations. Conduct compatibility and small-scale processing tests before use.

03Does sedimentation mean that the dispersion has failed?

Mild sedimentation does not necessarily indicate failure. Gently shake, stir, or briefly sonicate the dispersion and confirm that it returns to a uniform state. Significant color change, irreversible agglomeration, abnormal precipitation, or loss of uniformity should be evaluated before use.

04Can the dispersions be used directly for film formation?

They may be used for vacuum filtration, drop casting, spin coating, spray coating, and blade coating. Film quality depends on concentration, solvent, substrate wetting, surface treatment, coating rate, drying conditions, and layer thickness, so a small-scale trial is recommended.

05How should the dispersions be stored?

Store sealed and protected from light while minimizing air exposure. Avoid elevated temperature, strong light, and repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Before reuse, inspect the dispersion state. Low-temperature or inert-atmosphere storage may be considered for oxidation-sensitive experiments when supported by batch documentation.
