Exotic Photothermal Response in Ti‐Based MXene Optoelectronic Devices
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.This work uncovers the photothermal response of Ti‐based MXene devices to laser irradiation under different experimental conditions. Ti2CTx exhibits an asymmetric photothermal response, characterized by three orders of magnitude slower relaxation kinetics than Ti3C2Tx.
