Abstract

Electrochemistry Materials Science Materials Science, Coatings & Films Physical Sciences Science & Technology Technology
Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of Ti3C2Tx MXene films using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). A systematic study under constant voltage conditions from aqueous and propylene carbonate-based suspensions was performed to investigate the effects of the EPD process parameters on film morphology, flake orientation, and functional properties. From measured suspension properties, the kinetics of deposition from both suspension media were successfully described by the well-established Sarkar model of EPD. Remarkably, EPD-processed films have electrical conductivities of 7400 S/cm, on par with the highest values reported in the literature for Ti3C2Tx MXene. When employed as electrochemical capacitor electrodes in 1 M H2SO4, the capacitances were comparable to literature values. Given the process scalability and the morphological control that is possible, these results bode well for EPD as a fast, high-throughput method for making MXene films. (C) The Author(s) 2017.
