Resumen: The MXene family has rapidly expanded since its discovery in2011 to include nearly 50 unique MXenes, not accounting for solid solutionsand diverse surface terminations. However, a question raised since theirdiscovery has been: What is the effect of n? In other words, how does thenumber of layers affect the MXene properties? To date, no direct study of theimpact of n has been conducted due to the lack of isoelemental MXenecompositions spanning more than two n values. Herein, we report on a systemof three MXenes with identical M-site chemistries, (Mo2/3V1/3)n+1CnTx (n = 1,2, and 3), allowing for the study of MXene structure−property relationshipsacross n, for the first time. Chemical analysis of the samples shows completeand partial ordering of the M-elements in the n = 2 and 3 samples, respectively.We show that sample stability gradually evolves as n is increased from 1 to 3,while electronic and electrochemical properties exhibit more significant changes in going from n = 1 to 2 than from n = 2 to 3.
