“…Thermal stability is another important index of Ti 3 C 2 T x , as Ti 3 C 2 T x is easily oxidized during some reaction procedures in which H 2 O and/or O 2 are involved . The layered structure of Ti 3 C 2 T x may degrade, and a new oxide phase (TiO 2 ) may arise when sufficient oxidation occurs .…”

Ti C T , a typical representative among the emerging family of 2D layered transition metal carbides and/or nitrides referred to as MXenes, has exhibited multiple advantages including metallic conductivity, a plastic layer structure, small band gaps, and the hydrophilic nature of its functionalized surface. As a result, this 2D material is intensively investigated for application in the energy storage field. The composition, morphology and texture, surface chemistry, and structural configuration of Ti C T directly influence its electrochemical performance, e.g., the use of a well-designed 2D Ti C T as a rechargeable battery anode has significantly enhanced battery performance by providing more chemically active interfaces, shortened ion-diffusion lengths, and improved in-plane carrier/charge-transport kinetics. Some recent progresses of Ti C T MXene are achieved in energy storage. This Review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis and electrochemical energy storage applications of Ti C T MXene including supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries. The current opportunities and future challenges of Ti C T MXene are addressed for energy-storage devices. This Review seeks to provide a rational and in-depth understanding of the relation between the electrochemical performance and the nanostructural/chemical composition of Ti C T , which will promote the further development of 2D MXenes in energy-storage applications.

“…The surface of MXene contains many active groups, such as hydroxyl groups, oxygen ions, and fluorine ions [18][19][20]. The 2D MXene materials show special nanostructures that easily induce oxidization reaction in environments with oxygen and water [21][22][23][24], and demonstrate special electronic [25], magnetic [26] and mechanical properties [27]. Additionally, MXene has a wide range of applications, such as for energy storage, catalysis, adsorption, hydrogen storage, sensors, and new polymer-reinforced composites.…”

“…By combining thermogravimetric and mass spectrometry analysis, it was found that the thermal stability of MXenes is strongly dependent on their chemical composition and the environment . A recent study shows that Ti 3 C 2 T x (T x = F or OH) is stable at 500°C and the hexagonal crystal structure of Ti 3 C 2 is preserved even at 800 °C in Ar atmosphere . According to the thermogravimetric analysis, Ti 3 C 2 T x undergoes a substantial weight loss above 800 °C in argon (Ar) atmosphere, due to the conversion to TiC .…”

A family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides known as MXenes has received increasing attention since the discovery of Ti3C2 in 2011. To date, about 30 different MXenes with well‐defined structures and properties have been synthesized, and many more are theoretically predicted to exist. Due to the numerous assets including excellent mechanical properties, metallic conductivity, unique in‐plane anisotropic structure, tunable band gap, and so on, MXenes rapidly positioned themselves at the forefront of the 2D materials world and have found numerous promising applications. Particular interest is devoted to applications in electrochemical energy storage, whereby 2D MXenes work either as electrodes, additives, separators, or hosts. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis, fundamental properties and composites of MXene and highlights the state‐of‐the‐art electrochemical performance of MXene‐based electrodes/devices. The progresses in the field of supercapacitors and Li‐ion batteries, Li‐S batteries, Na‐ and other alkali metal ion batteries are reviewed, and current challenges and new opportunities for MXenes in this surging energy storage field are presented. In the focus of interest is the possibility to boost device‐level performance, particularly that of rechargeable batteries, which are of utmost importance in future energy technologies. Very recently, the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the inventors of the Li‐ion battery. For sure, this will provide an additional stimulation to study fundamental aspects of electrochemical energy storage.
