Abstract

Abstract:

This article reviews recent advances on the synthesis of novel two-dimensional(2D) transitional metal carbides and/or nitrides(MXenes), and their applications for electrochemical energy storage and conversions. These applications could be divided into three main categories: rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, and electro-catalysis. In these applied aspects, 2D MXenes exhibit promising capabilities due to the unique 2D structure, metallic conductivity, hydrophilic surfaces and other merits. Their electrochemical properties could be enhanced further by strategies of intercalating, compositing, doping, assembling and so on. This provides an avenue to exploit, synthesize and apply novel type of MXenes and MXene-based materials for broad fields, such as electrochemical energy storage and conversions, electronics, and catalysts.

Key words: MXene, 2D structure, lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors
