Abstract

AbstractSurface and interfacial chemistry play a vital role in shaping the properties of two‐dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes). This study focuses on utilizing Lewis‐basic halides (LiCl/KCl) for thermal treatment of multilayered Ti3C2Tx, leading to the simultaneous modulation of interlayer spacing and surface functional groups. Compared to the pristine Ti3C2Tx, the LiCl/KCl treated sample (heating temperature: 450°C, denoted as LK‐Ti3C2Tx‐450) showcases a remarkable increase in the interlayer spacing and synergistic optimization of the functional groups. These modifications endow LK‐Ti3C2Tx‐450 with enhanced electrochemical properties, rendering it as a promising anode candidate for lithium‐ion batteries. The increased interlayer spacing is particularly advantageous, as it facilitates efficient and rapid Li+ diffusion, a vital factor in enhancing the performance of energy storage devices.
