Characterization of MXene inks. a Optical images of the MX-C ink, showing its viscous nature. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of b MX-C and c MX-N nanosheets (scale bar for b and c = 500 nm). Insets are the corresponding selected area electron diffraction patterns of the nanosheets (scale bar = 5 nm−1). d Histograms of MX-C and MX-N flake lengths obtained via TEM statistics. e, f Rheological properties of MX-C and MX-N inks with e viscosity plotted as a function of shear rate and f storage and loss moduli plotted as a function of strain. Also included is the control sample made of PAA (aqueous binder) and carbon black (CB) dispersed in water (PAA/CB-water)
