dc.description.abstractSince after its discovery, MXene has captivated the focus of many researchers. In this work, we report on the low-temperature synthesis of Ti3AlC2 MAX phase at 800�? and its further etching to obtain Ti3C2 MXene. Initially, titanium (Ti), aluminium (Al), and graphite (C) precursors were taken in an appropriate volume proportion and add-mixed and grounded well via molten salt technique (Galvin et al. in J Eur Ceram Soc 38, 2018 [1]). The characterizations performed on powder such as FTIR, XRD, UV�Visible, SEM, and EDS confirmed Ti3AlC2 MAX phase. The MAX phase was subjected to the acid treatment (HF, concentration 40%) for ~ 80�h. The synthesized MXene was separated and investigated using FTIR, XRD, UV�Visible, SEM, and EDS techniques. The MXene was further employed to microwave treatment over the temperature 300�420�K at a discharge of power 120 W for 1�h. Analysis revealed that thickness of Ti3C2 layers is observed to be decreased with microwave treatment which can be a possible mechanism to obtain MXene quantum dots. In electrochemical analysis, specific capacitance for two electrode MXene@300�K and @400�K is reported to be 15 and 10�F/g, respectively, showing resistive nature of capacitance coupling for MXene. Analysis of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy together with bode showed the surface passivation effect of MXene layers to achieve different charge dynamics in both the systems. � 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.en_US
