Two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides Mn+1Xn termed as MXenes have attracted immense interest as potential candidates for Li-ion battery anodes and as a hydrogen storage medium. Our work focuses on the specific case of Ti2C and Ti2CO2 under various tensile strain using density functional theory (DFT). We consider substitutional doping of B and V at Ti and C sites of Ti2C. We have studied substitutional doping with no surface termination as well as oxygen terminated Ti2C, i.e., Ti2CO2. In-plane stiffness, Young’s modulus, and critical strain calculations conclude that B doping is highly effective in improving the elastic properties. This trend is found to hold good even for B-doped and V-doped O terminated systems. However the O passivated compounds are found to have relatively higher critical strain values compared to their pristine counterparts. Thus B doped Ti2CO2 , Ti2(C0.5,B0.5 )O2, appears to be the best candidate among the studied systems, as compared to pure Ti2C.
