Review and Perspectives on Preparation Strategies and Applications of Ti3C2 MXene for Li Metal Batteries/Li–S Batteries

“…These include large-scale energy storage systems, electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and more. Undoubtedly, this trajectory necessitates a redirection of researchers’ focus toward the realm of new energy, with the primary objective being the development of energy storage materials that are not only safe and reliable but also cost-effective. − Presently, the imperative to address range limitations in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices has elevated the development of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries. − Among all the possible candidates, the intriguing advantages of metallic Li, characterized by the lowest redox potential [−3.04 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)] and the highest gravimetric theoretical capacity, position it as the coveted “Holy Grail” anode. , Consequently, researchers have shifted their focus to high-performing lithium metal batteries, although challenges persist due to uncontrollable dendrite formation, volume change and an unstable interface between the anode and liquid electrolyte, hindering the practical application of lithium metal batteries. ,− In recent years, researchers have thoroughly studied the microscopic changes during battery operation and verified the substantive morphology of these problems by using relevant characterization. − Here we have drawn relevant morphological images (Figure ) for readers to understand and recognize. As schematically illustrated in Figure , how to solve the volumetric expansion of lithium metal during charge and discharge cycles, the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites, and the instability of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film is crucial for the development of lithium metal batteries, so the application potential of the lithium metal anode is substantial .…”
