Abstract
The structures of nanocrystalline pristine, potassium hydroxide and sodium acetate intercalated new two-dimensional materials MXenes were studied using the x-ray atomic pair distribution function technique. Pristine MXene has a hexagonal structure with , (S.G. No. 194). Both hydroxyl and fluoride terminating species are present. The intercalation of or ions expands the layers perpendicular to the planes but shrinks the in-plane and lattice parameters.
