Hydrothermal green synthesis and electrochemical properties of Mo4/3B2Tx MBene
摘要
Recently, MBene has drawn significant interest as a promising 2D material for energy storage applications. It can be synthesized from its parent precursors using a similar etching process as MXene. In this work, Mo4/3B2Tx MBene was successfully synthesized from (Mo2/3Y1/3)2AlB2 precursor through a hydrothermal method utilizing a fluorine-free alkali solution. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) results in a neutral Na2SO4 electrolyte indicated that the electrode made of Mo4/3B2Tx MBene showed a high specific capacitance of 786 F/g at a scan rate of 2 mV/s and exhibited excellent cycle stability over 5000 cycles with a capacitance retention rate of 90.65% at current density of 6 A/g and maintained 100% coulombic efficiency. Present results indicate that Mo4/3B2Tx MBene is a promising electrode material for supercapacitor applications. These findings contribute valuable insights into Mo4/3B2Tx MBene, encouraging further exploration of MBene electrodes for energy storage devices.
