MXene is regarded as next-generation two-dimensional (2D) material for a range of applications such as photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, because of its unique physicochemical properties. In particular, terminal groups including hydroxyl provide additional surface chemistry, which allows introducing useful physical and chemical properties. However, the proposed way is very specific features, even though the reaction chemistry looks likely a similar manner. In this study, we describe a universal metal oxide modification method. Among metal oxide catalysts, we selected transition metal catalysts as water-splitting catalysts because of their easy electron exchange. After doping MXene, we have characterized the qualitative, quantitative, and chemical bonding state of the transition metal oxide-MXene through various tools including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Furthermore, we have attempted to relate water-splitting features with incorporated metal species. |
