Ti3C2Tx/NiZn ferrite composites were synthesized using a co-precipitation hydrothermal method, and further consolidated using electric current field-assisted sintering technology. Nano NiZn ferrites were inserted into the Ti3C2Tx interlayers with uniform coverage on their surfaces. The incorporation of MXenes promoted the sintering kinetics of the NiZn ferrite ceramics. The electrical conductivity increased by six orders of magnitude compared to pure NiZn ferrite ceramics at room temperature. The present work provides a potential way to develop a large family of dense MXenes/ferrite multiphase ceramics. The multiphase ceramics could be potentially used for the on-beam-line higher-order mode load in advanced particle accelerators.
