Abstract

was found to be 0.33 ± 0.03 TPa, which is the highest among the mean values reported in nanoindentation experiments for other solution-processed 2D materials, including graphene oxide. This work opens a pathway for investigating the mechanical properties of monolayers and bilayers of other MXenes and extends the already broad range of MXenes' applications to structural composites, protective coatings, nanoresonators, and membranes that require materials with exceptional mechanical properties.
