Dataset of "Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Activity in Mo₂TiC₂Tₓ MXene Derived from Mo₂TiAlC₂ MAX Phase: Insights from Compositional Transformations"

MAX phases represent a crucial building block for the synthesis of MXenes, which constitute an intriguing class of materials with significant application potential. This study investigates the catalytic properties of Mo₂TiAlC₂ MAX phase and the corresponding Mo₂TiC₂Tₓ MXene for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that despite the presence of secondary phases, the HER catalytic activity is primarily influenced by the MAX phase and its derived MXene. Interestingly, the catalytic activity of the MXene improves over time, attributed to the formation of MoO₂ as identified by XPS. This work enhances the understanding of MXene-based materials for electrochemical applications, highlighting crucial structural and chemical transformations that optimize their performance in sustainable energy technologies.3D structure of lanthanum strontium manganite and yttria-stabilized zirconia composites is predicted based on conductivity measurements using Monte Carlo 3D equivalent circuit network approach.
