Abstract
AbstractTo make supercapacitors a viable commercial product, it is necessary to increase the mass loading (ML) of the electrodes. However, current research on high ML MXene electrodes mainly focuses on internal structure optimization, often neglecting the importance of surface texture in the electrodes, which plays a crucial role in mediating interactions between the internal structure and the electrolyte. This study reports on a simple ion‐intercalation process that can reduce charge transfer resistance and improve cycling stability. Through the integration of 3D visualization models and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering techniques, a comprehensive investigation of the electrode's surface structure and MXene flake arrangement is conducted. The results showed that pre‐oriented aggregates induced by ion‐intercalation create a sophisticated surface structure with rich hills and valleys, promoting electrolyte permeation and ion exchange. This work highlights the significance of surface texture in films and electrodes, guiding the design of high‐performance materials.
