General description

Mxenes find extensive use in LiBs and rechargeable non-lithium-ion (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Al3+) batteries. This MXene is a suitable candidate for Li-ion batteries because of its higher electrical conductivity and Li storage capacity comparable with graphite electrodes. This MXene has been explored as anode , cathode and separators in battery applications.

Application

Ti3C2Tx MXenes are a novel type of two-dimensional (2D) material composed of layered carbides of transition metals. MXenes have excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, heat resistance, and excellent volumetric capacitance, whilst having the highest electromagnetic (EMI) shielding effectiveness among similar synthetic 2D materials. Among its several applications, MXenes have been highlighted for:
  • Active material for energy storage devices (e.g. supercapacitors, lithium-based batteries);
  • Nanocomposites for power generation;
  • Biomedical applications;
  • Catalyst;
  • EMI Shielding.

Two-dimensional nanofluidic channels are emerging candidates for capturing osmotic energy from salinity gradients. However, present two-dimensional nanofluidic architectures are generally constructed by simple stacking of pristine nanosheets with insufficient charge densities, and exhibit low-efficiency transport dynamics, consequently resulting in undesirable

Ultrathin, lightweight, and flexible electromagnetic-interference (EMI) shielding materials are urgently required to manage increasingly serious radiation pollution. 2D transition-metal carbides (MXenes) are considered promising alternatives to graphene for providing excellent EMI-shielding performance due to their outstanding metallic electrical conductivity.
