Fig. 1: Synthesis and characterization of 1D-Ti2AlC MAX phase.
From: Large-scale conformal synthesis of one-dimensional MAX phases
a Schematic illustration of conformal synthesis and the in-situ crystalline evolution. b Rietveld refinement of the XRD pattern of synthesized 1D-Ti2AlC MAX, where the Bragg positions correspond to Ti2AlC as identified by PDF card #29-0095. c Photograph of large-scale Ti2AlC nanofiber membranes. d SEM image of Ti2AlC nanofibers membranes and the EDS mapping for Ti, and Al elements. e TEM image of single Ti2AlC nanofiber shows the long-ranged fibrous morphologies. TEM images of f, and g, are the enlargements in e, along with h, HRTEM image of atom positions representing the typical layered structure of Ti2AlC along the [\(11\bar{2}0\)] axis. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
