Two-dimensional transition-metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are a large family of materials actively studied for various applications, especially in the field of energy storage. MXenes are commonly synthesized by etching the layered ternary compounds, called MAX phases. We demonstrate a direct synthetic route for scalable and atom-economic synthesis of MXenes, including compounds that have not been synthesized from MAX phases, by the reactions of metals and metal halides with graphite, methane, or nitrogen. The direct synthesis enables chemical vapor deposition growth of MXene carpets and complex spherulite-like morphologies that form through buckling and release of MXene carpet to expose fresh surface for further reaction. The directly synthesized MXenes showed excellent energy storage capacity for lithium-ion intercalation. Description MXenes without MAX phases Two-dimensional metal carbides and nitrides, or MXenes, have several potential applications in energy storage and electronics. They are usually made by delamination of a layered parent compound, a MAX phase, in a harsh etching step. Wang et al. synthesized one of the most widely used MXenes, Ti2CCl2, as well as MXenes not available from MAX phases, using chemical vapor deposition (see the Perspective by Robertson and Tolbert). The reaction of methane and titanium tetrachloride on a titanium surface led to the growth of Ti2CCl2 sheets perpendicular to the metal. Under some growth conditions, the sheets could buckle off the surface to form vesicles. —PDS Solid-state reactions formed vertical carpets of 2D metal carbides and nitrides on metal substrates.
