Wenjiao Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, MXene/TiO2/MoS2 nanosheets were prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method, and MXene/TiO2/MoS2/P(VDF-HFP) nanocomposite films were prepared by solution casting method. The optimized nanocomposite films exhibited a high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, with suppressed electrical conductivity.
