Titanium Carbide MXene (Ti₃C₂Tₓ): Delaminated, High-Purity 2D Powder, Now Manufactured in Indonesia

Most 2D conductive materials force a trade-off: graphene derivatives are easy to source but their surface chemistry is hard to tune precisely, while MXenes offer a tunable surface and metallic conductivity but are notoriously sensitive to how they're made. A poorly delaminated batch still carries residual TiC or unreacted MAX phase, which quietly caps the conductivity and electrochemical performance a battery, sensor, or EMI-shielding application actually needs. Titanium Carbide MXene (Ti₃C₂Tₓ) exists for exactly that reason: a delaminated, high-purity 2D powder engineered to remove that uncertainty from the start.

A consistently delaminated MXene has traditionally meant importing a specialty material into Indonesia and delamination quality is one of the properties most likely to be inconsistent between suppliers, let alone batches. That's changing.

ITNANO (CV. Inovasi Teknologi Nano), based at the NRE Lab in Medan, is Indonesia's first private nanomaterials research startup manufacturing research-grade MXene locally, with XRD-verified purity on every batch. Here's what Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene actually is, why its delamination quality matters, and where it's being used in current research and industry.

What Is Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene?

MXenes are a family of two-dimensional materials with the general formula Mₙ₊₁XₙTₓ, where n = 1, 2, or 3. M is a transition metal in this case titanium (Ti) X is carbon (C), and Tₓ represents the surface terminations left behind after synthesis, such as fluorine (–F), hydroxyl (–OH), or oxygen (–O).

The starting point for any MXene is its MAX phase precursor Ti₃AlC₂ in this case which still contains a layer of aluminum atoms sandwiched between the titanium carbide layers. Delamination is the etching process that selectively removes that aluminum, prying the structure apart into individual 2D Ti₃C₂Tₓ sheets. How completely that etching step is carried out determines how much unreacted TiC or MAX phase is left behind and that residual impurity is exactly what shows up as an extra peak in an XRD scan, quietly limiting the surface area and conductivity the delaminated sheets can actually deliver.

ITNANO's Ti₃C₂Tₓ is delaminated to >99% purity, with XPS analysis confirming fluorine surface termination at just 0.05 at%. XRD confirms a dominant Ti₃C₂Tₓ peak at 2θ = 6.5°, consistent with JCPDS card No. 52–0875, alongside a very low residual TiC peak the signature of a properly delaminated batch rather than a partially etched one.

Where Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene Is Being Used

Battery and supercapacitor electrodes

Ti₃C₂Tₓ's metallic conductivity and layered structure make it a natural fit for electrode materials in lithium, sodium, and zinc-ion batteries, where it can serve as an active material, a conductive additive, or an interlayer that improves ion transport. The same properties carry over directly into supercapacitor electrodes, where high surface area and fast electron transport translate into higher capacitance and better rate performance.

EMI shielding and conductive composites

Because delaminated Ti₃C₂Tₓ sheets conduct electricity metallically and stack into dense, layered films, they're widely used as an EMI shielding filler in polymer composites and coatings absorbing and reflecting electromagnetic interference in electronics enclosures without adding the bulk of traditional metal shielding.

Gas sensors and triboelectric devices

The tunable surface terminations on Ti₃C₂Tₓ change its electrical response when specific gas molecules adsorb onto the sheet surface, which is the working principle behind MXene-based gas sensors. The same surface reactivity, paired with the material's conductivity, also makes it a candidate active layer in triboelectric energy-harvesting devices.

Adsorption of heavy metals and azo dyes

The negatively charged, oxygen-rich surface terminations left behind after delamination give Ti₃C₂Tₓ a strong affinity for heavy metal ions and azo dye molecules in solution, making it a research material of interest for water treatment and environmental remediation studies.

Why Source MXene Locally

Delamination quality, like rheology, is a fragile property it's fixed at the point of synthesis and can't be recovered afterward. A batch that's shipped internationally can't be re-etched on arrival if long transit or storage conditions have caused agglomeration or restacking of the 2D sheets. ITNANO, established by the Titian Research Group's NRE Lab, manufactures Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene domestically, with XRD and XPS characterization run on the batch itself giving Indonesian labs and manufacturers a delaminated MXene with verified purity on arrival, not just on a data sheet from overseas.

Whether you're developing battery or supercapacitor electrodes, formulating EMI shielding composites, building gas sensors, or researching adsorption for water treatment, Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene gives you delamination quality a distant supplier can't guarantee after shipping without the import wait.
