Until now, MXenes could only be produced from MAX phases containing aluminum, such as Ti3 AlC2 . Here, we report on the synthesis of Ti3 C2 (MXene) through selective etching of silicon from titanium silicon carbide-the most common MAX phase. Liters of colloidal solutions of delaminated Ti3 SiC2 -derived MXene (0.5-1.3 mg mL-1 ) were produced and processed into flexible and electrically conductive films, which show higher oxidation resistance than MXene synthesized from Ti3 AlC2 . This new synthesis method greatly widens the range of precursors for MXene synthesis.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 77. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 April 2026.
All research outputs
#698,333
of 34,376,207 outputs
Outputs from Angewandte Chemie. International Edition
#461
of 61,703 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,190
of 373,687 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Angewandte Chemie. International Edition
#8
of 827 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,376,207 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 61,703 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 373,687 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 827 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
