Adhesion of two-dimensional titanium carbides (MXenes) and graphene to silicon

The adhesion of two-dimensional transition metal carbides (MXenes) is important for potential MXene device fabrication and performance. Here, the authors show that adhesion of MXenes depends on their monolayer thickness and, in contrast to graphene, does not show number-of-monolayers dependency.
