a Schematic illustration of simultaneous interfacial chemical grafting reaction and phase transfer for preparing a stable nonpolar Ti₃C₂T_x dispersion. b Photographs of Ti₃C₂T_x dispersion in immiscible water and chloroform phases before and after the reaction. c Normalized intensity of the peak at around 760 nm for pristine Ti₃C₂T_x in water, Ti₃C₂T_x-C₁₂PA in hexanol, and Ti₃C₂T_x-CPA in chloroform as a function of storage time. UV − visible absorbance spectra of d Ti₃C₂T_x-CPA in hexanol, and e Ti₃C₂T_x-CPA in chloroform, respectively. a–e Reproduced with permissions from ref. [40].
