This results in passivation of the surfaces of MXene with different functional groups like O, -OH, -F, etc., which in many cases tend to degrade their properties. In this work, using first principle density functional theory based calculations, we propose a novel method to synthesize pristine Ti$_2$C and Ti$_3$C$_2$ MXenes from the bulk titanium carbides with corresponding stoichiometry.
