Transport properties of a highly conductive 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene/graphene composite

Abstract

We report on the elaboration and transport properties of a sandwich like 2-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene/Graphene composite through alternating electrospray of MXene and graphene materials. The structural and electrical properties were systematically investigated with respect to the graphene content. The surface roughness of the samples has found to decrease considerably after the graphene integration. Electrical measurements show a clear trend to increase in both electrical conductance and Hall carrier mobility with respect to the graphene concentrations, and even reach the values of 9.5 × 104 S/cm and 54.58 cm2/V s, respectively, for only 2.5 wt. % of graphene, rendering this MXene based composite one of the most electrically conductive to date.
