Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) have emerged as highly conductive and stable materials, of promise for electronic applications. Here, the authors use in situ electric biasing and transmission electron microscopy to investigate the effect of surface termination and intercalation on electronic properties.
