a Comparison of Ti 2p high-resolution XPS spectra of the MLM composites and MXene. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) Simulation of interface interaction between liquid metal (LM) and MXene at b 0 ps and c 1.7 ps. d MLM-S is highly processable and can be readily shaped into arbitrary shapes and adhere to each other. e Photos of the chassis of a model car before and after MLM-S coating. f Optical image of high-resolution MLM-S lines on a PET substrate fabricated through direct printing. The printed MLM-S can well adapt to deformation when the PET substrate is bent. g The magnified image of f. h Image of large-scale MLM-S coating (50 cm × 60 cm). i Application of MLM-S onto a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film with a hollow letter template. MLM-S coated PDMS under twisting j and stretching k. l MLM-S coating under varying strains (from 0% to 450% from left to right). Scale bar, 1 cm.
