Fig. 5: Alignment-dependent electronic conductivity of MXene nanosheet film.
From: Field-induced orientational switching produces vertically aligned Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets

a Schematic illustration of aligned MXene nanosheet film in the windmill-like electrode pattern to have different electrical conductivities in directions parallel (\({d}_{{para}}\)) and orthogonal (\({d}_{{ortho}}\)) to the orientation. b POM image of aligned MXene sheet film to be freeze-dried to fix its alignment. c Current-voltage (I-V) curve in \({d}_{{para}}\) and \({d}_{{ortho}}\). d Alignment-dependent conductivities (\({\sigma }_{{para}}\) and \({\sigma }_{{ortho}}\)) and corresponding anisotropic ratio (\({\sigma }_{{para}}/{\sigma }_{{ortho}}\)) of aligned and randomly oriented samples.
