Abstract

To alleviate the restacking issue of 2D Ti₃C₂T _x itself, we purposefully explore a simple but efficient method for controllable construction of 1D Ti₃C₂T _x nanoscrolls with a high efficiency of ∼90.5%, with detailed regulation of the feed concentrations and surface energy of Ti₃C₂T _x . The involved transformation mechanism from 2D nanosheets to 1D nanoscrolls is reasonably proposed.
