MXene, a recently discovered family of 2D materials, is well known for its application in energy storage areas due to its excellent properties. However, the low capacity of pristine MXene limits its application in energy storage devices such as lithium ion batteries. To solve this problem, we synthesized a new type of N-doped two-dimensional Nb2CTx...

... MXene, a recently discovered category of 2D materials, has garnered considerable interest in the energy storage sector due to its exceptional characteristics and wide range of uses. 95 According to density functional theory (DFT) studies, V 2 CT x MXene has promising features for use in energy storage applications, such as lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. 96 When Na ions are intercalated or adsorbed onto the surface of MXene nano sheets, the interlayer spacing between the layers of MXene increases from 7.1 to 10.1 Å. 97 This V 3 C 2 /graphene heterostructure showcases an increased capacity and fast charge/ discharge rates, indicating its promise as a highly effective electrode for ion batteries. ...
