We integrate MXene with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) through a meticulous layer-by-layer assembly process, not only enhancing the mechanical flexibility and robustness of MXene but also significantly improving its environmental stability. The MX–PVA films exhibit multi-responsiveness to UV light, tempera...
