The study demonstrates the use of alkylated 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (ADOPA) functionalized MXene (AD-MXene) as a solution-processed material for printed electronics. AD-MXene, with its excellent dispersion stability in ethanol, is used to fabricate thin-film transistors (TFTs) through electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing. The AD-MXene electrodes outperform conventional vacuum-deposited Au and Al electrodes in terms of electrical conductivity and environmental stability. The TFTs are further integrated into logic gates (complementary inverter, NAND, and NOR) and one-transistor-one-memory cells, showcasing the potential of AD-MXene in environmentally robust electronics, known as Mxetronics. The AD-MXene films exhibit high electrical conductivity, good oxidation resistance, and excellent stability under high humidity conditions, making them suitable for various electronic applications.The study demonstrates the use of alkylated 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (ADOPA) functionalized MXene (AD-MXene) as a solution-processed material for printed electronics.
