MXenes: A comprehensive review of synthesis, properties, and progress in supercapacitor applications

MXenes, a class of two-dimensional materials, have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties and versatile applications in various fields. This review provides a comprehensive overview of MXene synthesis methods, highlighting their distinctive layered structure and tunable properties through surface functionalization. The focus then shifts to their remarkable role in supercapacitor technology. MXenes exhibit high electrical conductivity, large surface areas, and tailored surface chemistry, making them promising candidates for energy storage in supercapacitors. The paper discusses the interplay of electric double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance mechanisms within MXene-based…
