2D Layered Ti3C2Tx Negative Electrode based Activated Carbon Woven Fabric for Structural Lithium Ion Battery

Two dimensional transition metal carbides and/or nitrides, known as MXenes, are a promising electrode material in energy storage due to their excellent electrical conductivity, outstanding electrochemical performance, and abundant functional groups on the surface. Use of Ti3C2 as electrode material has significantly enhanced electrochemical performance by providing more chemically active interfaces, short ion-diffusion lengths, and improved charge transport kinetics. Here, we reports the efficient method to synthesize Ti3C2 from MAX phase, and opens new avenues for developing MXene based electrode materials for Lithium-Ion batteries.
