Fig. 2: Morphological characterization of MXene composite fibers.

Cross-section scanning electron microscope (SEM) image (a) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) image (b) for MX fiber. Cross-section SEM image (c) and HR-TEM image (d) for the MCP fiber. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the whole fibers along the axial direction with voids in MX (e) and MCP (f) fibers by nano-computed tomography (nano-CT), while the blue transparent color for MXene nanosheets in MX fiber, and that for MXene nanosheets and CNTs in MCP fiber, the red color for voids, and the yellow transparent color for the PLA. HR-TEM images of the axial section for MX (g) and MCP (h) fibers. i 3D reconstruction of the axial section with voids in MX and MCP fibers by nano-CT, while the blue color for MXene nanosheets in MX fiber, and that for MXene nanosheets and CNTs in MCP fiber, the red color for voids, and the yellow color for the PLA. j Bar plot of porosity and density of the MXene composite fibers. k Plots of azimuthal angle of the MXene composite fibers. l The f of the MXene composite fibers. All error bars show mean ± standard deviation.
