Vapor-phase synthesis of Ti₂CCl₂ MXene
An interactive 3D walk-through of the bottom-up route, zooming from the furnace into the confined space, down to atoms and back out: Ti loading modes → TiCl₂ build-up → nucleation threshold → edge growth → crystal → spherulites → merging and the TiC limit. Based on Kim et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2026 [1].
