RESUMO
The formation of uniform sheets of exfoliated MXene over a large area is important for improving their performance in practical applications. In this study, the Langmuir-Schaefer technique was employed to deposit uniform MXene sheets on a solid substrate and control the morphological structure over a large area. At the liquid-gas interface, MXene flakes were densely compressed into nanosheets with minimal gaps between them at 20 mN/m. Through further compression, the wrinkle morphologies of MXene sheets tend to be perpendicularly aligned to the compression direction. These wrinkle structures were also exhibited when MXene sheets were mixed in equal proportions with graphene oxide sheets. Owing to the close correlation of the morphologies of MXene films with the performance of MXene-based materials, the technique employed in this study can provide a route for applications requiring wrinkled MXene, ranging from nanoelectronic devices to energy storage materials, such as supercapacitors and battery electrodes.
