2D Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, multilayer structures, and conical scrolls produced by room temperature exfoliation of Ti 3 AlC 2 in HF are reported. Since Ti 3 AlC 2 is a member of a 60+ group of layered ternary carbides and nitrides, this discovery opens a door to the synthesis of a large number of other 2D crystals.
