This work describes a novel and rapid strategy to produce delaminated MXene sheets from the MAX phase. The current method uses a novel microwave-assisted hydrothermal method to etch aluminium (Al) from the MAX phase (as well as delaminate) within 2 h of processing which has remarkably reduced time f...
