  abstract = 	{We report on the effects of plasma treatment and humidity on the electrical conductivities of Ti3C2 MXene thin films. The latter -- spincoated from a colloidal solution produced by LiF/HCl etching of Ti3AlC2 powders -- were 13 nm thick with an area of 6.8 mm2. The changes in the films exposed to hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) plasmas in vacuum were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We find that the film resistivities can be switched reproducibly by plasma treatment between 5.6 $\mu$$\Omega$m (oxidized state) to 4.6 $\mu$$\Omega$m (reduced state). Both states show metallic like conductivity. In high vacuum, the film resistivity was 243 $\Omega$; when the relative humidity was 80{\%} the film resistance increased to 6340 $\Omega$, a 26 fold increase.},
