“…The spectra reveal the presence of F 1s, O 1s, Ti 2p, C 1s, and Ti 3p from MXene at 686.1, 531.2, 456.0, 285.2, and 35.1 eV, respectively, as well as N 1s from PPy at 400.3 eV existing in MXene/PPy hybrids. For MPC, the fine spectra of C 1s corresponded to C–Ti, C–Ti, C–C, C–N/CN, C–C at 281.6, 284.1, 284.8, 285.6, and 287.9 eV, respectively (Figure f). ,, The peaks of N 1s at 399.4, 400.1, and 401.2 eV belonged to −N , −NH–, and −N + -, respectively (Figure g). The peaks corresponded to Ti 3+ (2p 1/2 2p 3/2 ) at 464.5 and 456.0 eV, 461.3 and 454.9 eV for Ti 2+ (2p 1/2 2p 3/2 ), and the peak at 459.0 eV was attributed to Ti–O 2‑ x –F x (Figure h) …”
