Abstract:MXene materials hold promise for lithium-ion battery applications but face challenges from interlayer restacking, which impedes both mechanical robustness and ionic transport. Inspired by the dense regular connective tissue of vertebrates, a biomimetic composite is developed, integrating superaligned carbon nanotubes (SACNTs) and Ti 3 C 2 . In this architecture, SACNTs "fibers" serve as mechanical skeletons and transport channels, while Ti 3 C 2 "cells" disperse uniformly and expose abundant lithium storage si… Show more
