In the last years, MXenes have attracted attention due to an interesting combination of physical properties. A better knowledge of the surface chemistry of MXenes is critical for the implementation in applications. A promising investigation approach is annealing-induced desorption of surface terminations, because it might make the surface very active for further functionalizations. In this work, the effect of annealing on the Ti3C2Tx MXene surface chemistry in UHV has been investigated with Raman spectroscopy in ultra-high vacuum. Changes in the Raman spectra are correlated with the desorption of the major part of the F surface termination at 650 °C. Most of the observed spectral features show a significant broadening already before annealing. We attribute this to the intrinsic disordered nature of the MXenes due to a mixed surface termination and a broad background associated to electronic Raman scattering. With this study we identified of the vibrational signatures associated with F-termination and provided new insights into the interpretation of the vibrational spectra of Ti3C2Tx MXenes.
