2D MXenes have gained an ever-increasing attention in various application fields. Their properties can be strongly tuned by modifying the M element in the Mn+1XnTx structure. Among them, Mo-based MXenes are beginning to be successfully explored in many areas. This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of (Mo,Ti)n+1CnTx MXenes to understand their complex chemistry and to compare them with those of mono-metallic Mo2CTx and Ti3C2Tx. The potential of these materials as HER (hydrogen evolution reaction) catalysts is determined in alkaline medium. It is shown that Mo2Ti2C3Tx MXenes are a credible alternative to Mo2CTx MXenes since the surface properties of both MXenes are similar while their composition is quite different. Indeed, (Mo,Ti)n+1CnTx require lower temperatures and shorter time for the synthesis than for Mo2CTx, a great advantage from an industrial point of view. Finally, some avenues for improving the performance of MXenes for HER will also be described.
