a Synthesis of the Ti3C2Tx MXene through the mixed etchant (HF + HCl) and inorganic intercalant (LiCl). b Size selection from the as-received B4C (AR-B4C) to nano-sized B4C (n-B4C). c Stable and homogeneous dispersion of MXene/n-B4C hybrid colloid solutions with various B4C concentrations. d Preparation of the Ti3C2Tx/n-B4C/PVA (MBP) hybrid solution and its film fabrication using vacuum-assisted filtration and blade-coating methods.
