Review: MXenes for energy storage applications
摘要
The characteristics of MXenes, a novel family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, have drawn a lot of interest recently in many engineering fields. MXene's distinctive two-dimensional layered structure, high mechanical strength, good stability, large specific surface area, and excellent electrical conductivity make it extremely promising for electrochemical performance and hydrogen storage. Thus, contributing to the development of safe and effective hydrogen storage systems. The promising future of MXene materials in the field of energy storage (ES) is highlighted in this review. MXenes are attractive candidates for the creation of high-performance electrical devices because of their exceptional qualities, compatibility, and tunability. An extensive review of MXene materials is provided in this study, with particular attention focused on their synthesis, characterization, functionalization techniques, inherent qualities, and their promising prospects in ES applications. Furthermore, the existing challenges in the development of MXene for ES are discussed, and certain characteristics for enhanced electrochemical performance and MXene-based hydrogen storage are highlighted. The review's conclusions demonstrate MXene's potential to solve important ES problems, including limited capacity and poor cycling stability. They also offer direction for future studies aimed at streamlining synthesis procedures and improving the functionality of MXene-based materials for real-world uses.
