Two-dimensional layered materials (2DLM) have become the subject of intensive research in various applications such as electronics, photonics and optoelectronics due to their unique physical properties. As a new class of 2DLM, MXenes have attracted great interest due to their superior performance in a wide variety of applications such as batteries, supercapacitors, catalysts, electronics and optics. Here, we have investigated the broadband spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) and ultrafast response of the MXene Ti3C2Tx (T=O, OH or F) experimentally. The MXene Ti3C2Tx exhibited the broadband nonlinear optical response via SSPM from 400 nm to ~1 μm under the ultrafast laser excitation, and ultrafast carrier characteristics with an ultrafast recovery time with femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The experimental results have shown that the MXenes have the broadband nonlinear optical response, which can lay a foundation for the application prospect for the MXene-based ultrafast optoelectronic devices.
