High-efficiency and simple synthesis of Ti3C2Tx nanoscrolls by surface energy modulation and cryogenic freezing†
Abstract
To alleviate the restacking issue of 2D Ti3C2Tx itself, we purposefully explore a simple but efficient method for controllable construction of 1D Ti3C2Tx nanoscrolls with a high efficiency of ∼90.5%, with detailed regulation of the feed concentrations and surface energy of Ti3C2Tx. The involved transformation mechanism from 2D nanosheets to 1D nanoscrolls is reasonably proposed.
