## Description

- description: "Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, so-called
    MXenes, hold significant promise as flexible transparent conductive electrodes
    (TCEs) in diverse applications. However, MXenes fall below the minimum requirements
    for industrial use, largely due to factors such as the quality of MXene flakes,
    electrical conductivity, optical conductivity, and transparent electrode fabrication
    techniques. In this study, we analyze the relationships among nanosheet size,
    DC- and optical conductivity and its ratio (\U0001D70E\U0001D437\U0001D436/\U0001D70E\U0001D45C\U0001D45D),
    and sheet resistance (Rs) of MXene TCEs based on data from published literature.
    Compared to Ti3C2Tx TCEs fabricated with low-quality, small-sized flakes ( < 1 μm,
    \U0001D70E\U0001D437\U0001D436/\U0001D70E\U0001D45C\U0001D45D < 10), those made
    with high-quality, large-sized nanosheets ( > 6 μm) with narrow size distributions
    (\U0001D70E\U0001D437\U0001D436/\U0001D70E\U0001D45C\U0001D45D > 20) exhibit dramatically
    reduced Rs by several orders of magnitude while maintaining high transmittance.
    Nevertheless, the \U0001D70E\U0001D437\U0001D436/\U0001D70E\U0001D45C\U0001D45D
    of continuous Ti3C2Tx metallic TCEs saturates at ~24, fairly below the basic requirements
    for commercial TCEs. By integrating a metallic silver grid onto Ti3C2Tx TCEs,
    a remarkable \U0001D70E\U0001D437\U0001D436/\U0001D70E\U0001D45C\U0001D45D ratio
    of 330 has achieved, bringing MXene TCEs closer to fulfilling industrial application
    standards and inspiring greater confidence in their future adoption. Beyond the
    field of TCEs, the insights gained here could inspire advancements in other areas,
    such as optoelectronic devices, flexible displays, and energy-efficient transparent
    technologies. This work provides a framework for the design and development of
    next-generation transparent conductive materials with broad implications across
    various scientific and industrial domains."
