Two‐dimensional materials and synthesis, energy storage, utilization, and conversion applications of two‐dimensional MXene materials

Abstract

Owing to the first-rate residences of graphene, the research had been achieved on novel two-dimensional (2D) materials. The MXene is a 2D inorganic compound that consists of transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. Ti₃C₂, the primary 2D-layered MXene, was reported in 2011. This material that is a layered bulk material analogous to graphite, changed into derived from its 3D phase, is Ti₃AlC₂ MAX. The start of this review through reviewing the structures and morphologies and their fabrication routes. After this, the discussion converts to the mechanical, electrical, and electronic properties of MXenes. The awareness then turns to their thrilling capacity in energy storage, conversion, and utilization. Energy storage programs encompass electrodes in rechargeable lithium batteries and supercapacitors. In phrases of energy conversion and utilization, photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, solar steam manufacturing, photothermal therapies, photovoltaic devices are presented. Highlights The study shows that transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), own circle of two-dimensional (2D) inorganic compounds. The substances composed of some atomic layers of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides. Ti₃C₂, the primary 2D-layered MXene, were remote in 2011 This material that is a layered material analogous to graphite, changed into derived from its 3D phase, is Ti₃AlC₂ MAX Conversion of mechanical, electrical, and electronic properties of MXenes which turns to their thrilling capacity in energy storage, conversion, and utilization
