Application of 2D MXene in Organic Electrode Materials for Rechargeable Batteries: Recent Progress and Perspectives

Abstract

Organic electrode materials (OEMs) are emerging green power because of the promising advantages such as environmental friendliness, abundant sources, easy recycling, and structural diversity. However, several inherent issues, including low electronic conductivity, dissolution of active materials, and particle pulverization restrict their practical application. MXene, as a novel 2D material has exhibited enormous potential to solve the issues of OEMs due to its high conductivity, unique structure, exceptional mechanical property, and abundant surface groups. Up to now, various effective strategies have been presented and achieved positive effects, such as constructing heterojunction structures, in situ assembly, dip-coating, preparing freestanding MXene paper, etc. Nonetheless, comprehensive review of the progress and status is rare. Herein, an overview of the application of MXene in organic electrode materials for rechargeable batteries is systematically put forward. Meanwhile, recent progress and future development directions are presented. This review can serve as a guide for future research.

An interfacial covalent bonding coupled ultrafine CuS-nanocrystals/MXene heterostructure for efficient and durable magnesium storage

“…Recently, MXenes, a new family of two-dimensional (2D) layered transition metal carbonitrides/carbides, have gained attention for their potential in energy storage due to their large interlayer spacing, metal-like electrical conductivity, excellent strain buffer capability, and low ionic diffusion barrier. [35][36][37] In general, etching the MAX precursors with a selective acid or molten salt yields abundant termination functional groups (-O, -F, -OH, -Cl, etc.) on the surface of the obtained accordion-like multilayered MXene, which can be further delaminated into free-standing akes or few-layer nanosheets by ion intercalation.…”
