• In this study, highly pure Mo2CTx MXene was successfully synthesized from Mo2Ga2C by etching in hydrothermal conditions for 24 h at 140–180°C. The etching solutions were lithium fluoride (LiF), sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF) or ammonium fluoride (NH4F) mixed with hydrochloric acid (HCl). The temperature to obtain pure Mo2CTx MXene in NH4F + HCl solution was 140°C, lower than that in other etching solutions. The thickness of as-prepared monolayer Mo2CTx nanosheet was measured to be 1.5 ± 0.3 nm by atomic force microscope. From thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis, Mo2CTx MXene was found to be stable in argon atmosphere at a temperature of up to 500°C. As the temperature increased, Mo2CTx MXene gradually transformed, and β-Mo2C/MoC/Mo3C2 was eventually formed to coexist with Mo2CTx MXene at 700°C. In air atmosphere, Mo2CTx MXene was stable at 200°C. At 590°C, Mo2CTx MXene was completely oxidized to MoO3.
