Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

Abstract. As a new class of 2D materials, MXene family has triggered attention because of their unique electrical and mechanical properties. MXene’s excellent electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity, make it an ideal option for polymer nanocomposite fabrication. For the first time, polymer nanocomposites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/Ti3C2Tx (MXene) were used for charge storage applications in the X-band frequency range (8.2-12.4 GHz). By implementing solution casting and vacuum assisted filtration (VAF), flexible thin-films with exceptional dielectric properties (solution casting @10.0 wt% MXene: MXene:

= 3166 ,

= 370.5 ,

= 0.11 and VAF @10.0 wt%

= 0.09) were fabricated. The reported dielectric constants in this study

are among the highest values obtained in X-band frequency with low dielectric losses. This outstanding performance originates from the high electrical conductivity of synthesized Ti3C2Tx MXene (

1.4 ± 0.077 × 106

; highest reported value for Ti3C2Tx MXene to date in the

literature), great dispersion state and the nacre-like structure of the polymer nanocomposites. Combining the exceptional properties of MXene with the effective nacre-like structure, PVA/MXene nanocomposites can be used as a novel charge storage material fulfilling the requirements of flexible electronics and energy storage devices.
