Abstract

Abstract This study reports the successful synthesis and detailed characterization of MXene/PVA composite nanofibers fabricated via electrospinning, with a focus on their third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. MXene nanosheets (Ti₃C₂Tₓ), derived from Ti₃AlC₂ precursors through hydrofluoric acid etching, were uniformly integrated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. Structural, chemical and morphological analyses using XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, and EDS confirmed effective exfoliation, surface functionalization, and homogeneous dispersion of MXene within the polymeric network. Nonlinear optical measurements performed via the Z-scan technique under continuous-wave 532 nm laser irradiation revealed a pronounced third-order response, characterized by a negative nonlinear refractive index (n₂ = −8.08 × 10⁻⁶ cm²/W) and a nonlinear absorption coefficient (β = −0.014 cm/W), indicative of self-defocusing behavior and dominant two-photon absorption (TPA). These optical features, combined with a high linear absorption coefficient (α = 1078 cm⁻¹), may reflect strong light–matter interaction and photothermal potential. The integration of two-dimensional MXene nanosheets within the PVA matrix enhances the optical responsiveness, and functional adaptability of the nanofibers. These results make MXene/PVA composites a promising candidate for intensity-dependent nonlinear optical applications.

nanofibers fabricated via electrospinning, with a focus on their third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. MXene nanosheets (Ti₃C₂Tₓ), derived from Ti₃AlC₂ precursors through hydrofluoric acid etching, were uniformly integrated into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. Structural, chemical and morphological analyses using XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, and EDS confirmed effective exfoliation, surface functionalization, and homogeneous dispersion of MXene within the polymeric network.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNonlinear optical measurements performed via the Z-scan technique under continuous-wave 532 nm laser irradiation revealed a pronounced third-order response, characterized by a negative nonlinear refractive index (n₂ = \u0026minus;8.08 \u0026times; 10⁻⁶ cm\u0026sup2;/W) and a nonlinear absorption coefficient (β = \u0026minus;0.014 cm/W), indicative of self-defocusing behavior and dominant two-photon absorption (TPA). These optical features, combined with a high linear absorption coefficient (α\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;1078 cm⁻\u0026sup1;), may reflect strong light\u0026ndash;matter interaction and photothermal potential.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe integration of two-dimensional MXene nanosheets within the PVA matrix enhances the optical responsiveness, and functional adaptability of the nanofibers. These results make MXene/PVA composites a promising candidate for intensity-dependent nonlinear optical applications.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Characterization and third order non-linear optical properties study of the MXene/PVA composite nanofibers","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-12-16 22:38:30","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7912159/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"c78bc24d-818e-4268-a286-f569ea687aee","owner":[],"postedDate":"December 16th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":59647708,"name":"Physical sciences/Chemistry"},{"id":59647709,"name":"Physical sciences/Materials science"},{"id":59647710,"name":"Physical sciences/Optics and photonics"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-01-05T22:23:27+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-12-16 22:38:30","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7912159","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7912159","identity":"rs-7912159","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
