Electrochemical characterization of Ti3C2Tx MXene prepared via a molten salt etching route in an acetonitrile-based electrolyte

Liyuan Liu et al.

Summary: Two-dimensional metal carbide and nitride materials (MXenes) with controlled Cl- and O-surface terminations (MS-Ti3C2Tx) were prepared using a molten salt etching method and their electrochemical properties were investigated in nitrile-based electrolytes. The results showed that the power performance of MS-Ti3C2Tx was significantly improved in acetonitrile (ACN)-based non-aqueous organic electrolytes, which are commonly used electrolytes for electrochemical capacitors. The addition of a lithium salt, resulting in 2 M LiTFSI in ACN, increased the specific capacitance. Moreover, replacing LiTFSI with LiFSI greatly enhanced the power performance of MXenes at a high scan rate (95 mAh g-1 at 900C). These findings emphasize the importance of matching the electrolyte composition to the electrode material and offer insights into the potential of MXenes as high-rate electrode materials for energy storage applications.

Effect of temperature and atmosphere on V2AlC etching for V2CTx MXenes synthesis used as anode for Li-ion storage systems

Motahare S. Mohseni-Salehi et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of Ar-controlled atmosphere on the etching of V2AlC MAX phase and its electrochemical properties for Li-ion storage. The etching process conducted at room temperature in an ambient atmosphere showed incomplete etching due to oxidation. However, etching in an Ar-controlled atmosphere at different temperatures (9, 25, and 40 degrees C) demonstrated that increasing the temperature was necessary for completing the etch reaction. Additionally, controlling the temperature during the MAX phase addition prevented the formation of an oxide layer, allowing for better etching results. The discharge capacity of Li-ion storage for V2CTx etched in an Ar-controlled atmosphere at 9 + 40 degrees C was 500.5 mAh g-1 for the first cycle and 388.5 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles with 99.4% coulombic efficiency.
