Enabling materials to undergo reversible dynamic transformations akin to the behaviors of living organisms represents a critical challenge in the field of material assembly. The pursuit of such capabilities using conventional materials has largely been met with limited success. Herein, the discovery of reversible constrained dissociation and reconfiguration in MXene films, offering an effective solution to overcome this obstacle is reported. Specifically, MXene films permit rapid intercalation of water molecules between their distinctive layers, resulting in a significant expansion and exhibiting confined dissociation within constrained spaces...
