    Description

    MXenes are an emerging class ultra-thin materials (layers), also known as two-dimensional or 2D materials, that have garnered significant interest across various research domains due to their exceptional physical properties, including high conductivity (> 8 kS cm-1), electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding (>58 kdB cm2 g-1), and tunable hydrophilicity. To tailor these properties, MXene films can be fabricated using a layer-by-layer approach, enabling precise control, enhanced stability, and tunability of the materials system. The method of film development, such as drop casting, interfacial assembly, or spray coating, is critical in this assembly process and has a significant impact on electronic and optical properties.Currently, there is limited research directly comparing the layer-by-layer assembly of different film formation methods for Ti3C2Tx MXene. This study aims to characterize and standardize these methods for future MXene development, including comparisons between MXene flakes and scrolls. Additionally, we demonstrate that dopamine not only binds effectively to our system but also enables adjustment of interlayer spacing, as determined by AFM height measurements, thereby influencing the overall properties of the thin film.
