Bifunctional electrocatalytic water splitting augmented by cobalt-nickel-ferrite NPs-supported fluoride-free MXene as a novel electrocatalyst

Recent Advanced Developments and Prospects of Surface Functionalized MXenes-Based Hybrid Composites toward Electrochemical Water Splitting Applications

“…11 Despite all of these benefits, MXenes electrocatalytic capacity is challenged because, even after exfoliation, flakes are easily oxidized and restacked. 12,13 To resolve this issue, the functional groups with hydrophilic characteristics on the MXene surface encourage orderly assembly and powerful interaction of materials coupled with it, preventing agglomeration and stacking of materials. It has been recognized that exposing additional active catalytic sites or raising the inherent activity of the active regions may further improve the efficiency of the catalytic process.…”

“…Recent improvements in structural stability, conductivity, and developments in the energy sector can be achieved by combining conductive materials (such as graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and MXenes to enhance catalytic performance further. , Among these, MXenes are attractive catalyst phases or matrix materials for creating highly efficient catalysts due to their excellent huge surface area, conductance, and wide chemical variation, etc . Despite all of these benefits, MXenes electrocatalytic capacity is challenged because, even after exfoliation, flakes are easily oxidized and restacked. , To resolve this issue, the functional groups with hydrophilic characteristics on the MXene surface encourage orderly assembly and powerful interaction of materials coupled with it, preventing agglomeration and stacking of materials.
