Abstract

Success in the exfoliation of the stacked T-functionalized titanium carbide MXenes Tin+1CnT2 (T = OH, O, and F) would potentially extend their application scope, which requires an understanding of the nature of interlayer coupling. Here, we report for the first time the intrinsic interlayer coupling in pristine MXenes on the basis of first-principles calculations by taking long-range interaction into account. It is demonstrated that the functional terminations (OH, O, and F) weaken the interlayer coupling as compared with the bare counterparts, whereas the coupling is significantly stronger than van der Waals bonding as specified by the fact that the binding energies of stacked Tin+1CnT2 are 2–6 times those of well-known graphite and MoS2 with weak interlayer coupling. With binding energies in the range of 1–3.3 J m−2, the successful exfoliation of stacked Tin+1CnT2 into monolayers invariably requires further weakening of the interlayer coupling.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
