Abstract
A study was made of the effect of the nature of the MF–HCl (M = Li+, Na+, \({\text{NH}}_{4}^{ + }\)) etching systems on the synthesis of Ti3C2Tx MXenes based on the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase, microstructure, phase purity, interlayer distance, composition of functional surface groups, thermal behavior, and work function of the resulting products. The gas-sensing properties of Ti3C2Tx receptor layers deposited by microplotter printing were tested to a wide range of gaseous analytes (H2, CO, NH3, NO2, O2, benzene, acetone, methane, and ethanol) at room temperature. An increased sensitivity to ammonia was detected for MXenes produced by exposure to hydrochloric acid solutions of sodium and ammonium fluorides, and an elevated sensitivity to carbon monoxide was determined for a sample synthesized using the LiF–HCl system. High responses (~20–30% per 100 ppm NO2) were measured for all three receptor materials; however, sensor recovery processes were much more difficult. To improve the sensory characteristics, the sensitive Ti3C2Tx layers were subjected to relatively low temperature heat-treatment in an air atmosphere to form Ti3C2Tx/TiOx nanocomposites. It was detected that partially oxidized MXenes exhibit a high selective response to oxygen at very low operating temperatures (125–175°C), which is especially typical of the material produced using the HCl–NaF system.
