A scalable synthesis method for 2D/2D MXene/BCN heterostructure through no residue direct pyrolysis is reported in this study, offering high pseudocapacitive activity and impressive stability by removing terminal groups at elevated temperature. This method shows promise as a convenient solution for energy storage applications in the future.
The 2D/2D layered materials are gaining much-needed attention owing to the unprecedented results in supercapacitors by their robust structural and electrochemical compatibility. Here, a facile scalable synthesis of 2D/2D MXene/boron carbon nitride (BCN) heterostructure through no residue direct pyrolysis is reported. The process allows the in-situ growth of BCN nanosheets unravelling the surfaces of MXene synergistically that provide an interconnected conductive network with wide potential window, augmented proportion of Ti sites at elevated temperature removing terminal groups enabling high pseudocapacitive activity and impressive stability. As a result, the as-assembled MXene/BCN electrode records a high specific capacitance of 1173 F g(-1) (1876 C g(-1)) at 2 A g(-1) and an energy density of 45 Wh kg(-1). Further, the fabricated solid-state device exhibits an ultra-high cyclability of 100% capacitive retention after 100 000 cycles. This will be an epitome for future 2D/2D heterostructures with commendable electrochemical properties as an expedient solution for energy storage applications.
