Ti3C2Tx MXene compounds for electrochemical energy storage

MXenes, 2D materials, are increasingly studied for energy applications, such as battery materials, supercapacitors, nanocomposite supports, electrocatalytic materials, and electrodes for redox-flow electrochemical cells. This review describes some of these applications.

Since their discovery in 2011, “MXene” compounds, particularly Ti3C2-based phases, have garnered increasing interest from researchers, leading to over 2000 scientific papers by 2020. The unique morphological, charge transport, and surface properties make MXenes ideal materials for energy storage applications, such as active materials in alkaline ion batteries and supercapacitors, as conductive agents or buffers in composite electrodes for high-energy applications, and as electrocatalytic materials for oxygen evolution or redox flow batteries. Among this extensive literature, the present work focuses on 5 recent articles (2019/2020) that summarize the potential of MXenes in various energy storage applications, also reviewing the most promising preparatory pathways for industrial scalability.
