MXene terminating groups =O, -F or -OH, -F or =O, -OH, -F, or =O, -OH, -Cl?

Tariq Bashir et al.

Summary: This paper summarizes the nature of chemical bonding in MXenes and discusses the surface terminators of several MXenes. The study finds that =O, -OH, -F, and -Cl are typical MXene surface terminators, but recent investigations show that -OH cannot be considered an intrinsic termination species in MXenes. Additionally, the paper discusses different etching approaches for MXene synthesis, the dependence of MXene conductivity on terminating groups, and the emission of gaseous products during chemical transformations.
