The study presents a novel ternary heterostructure designed for fast sodium-ion (SIB) and potassium-ion (PIB) batteries, which prevents restacking of 2D materials, increases intrinsic conductivity, and provides ultrafast interfacial ion transport pathways. The interfacial ion transport in this MXene-based heterostructure is significantly higher than that of pristine MXenes, leading to improved Na+ and K+ storage capabilities and excellent long-term cycling stability.
Combining with the advantages of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, MXenes have shown great potential in next generation rechargeable batteries. Similar with other 2D materials, MXenes generally suffer severe self-agglomeration, low capacity, and unsatisfied durability, particularly for larger sodium/potassium ions, compromising their practical values. In this work, a novel ternary heterostructure self-assembled from transition metal selenides (MSe, M = Cu, Ni, and Co), MXene nanosheets and N-rich carbonaceous nanoribbons (CNRibs) with ultrafast ion transport properties is designed for sluggish sodium-ion (SIB) and potassium-ion (PIB) batteries. Benefiting from the diverse chemical characteristics, the positively charged MSe anchored onto the electronegative hydroxy (-OH) functionalized MXene surfaces through electrostatic adsorption, while the fungal-derived CNRibs bonded with the other side of MXene through amino bridging and hydrogen bonds. This unique MXene-based heterostructure prevents the restacking of 2D materials, increases the intrinsic conductivity, and most importantly, provides ultrafast interfacial ion transport pathways and extra surficial and interfacial storage sites, and thus, boosts the high-rate storage performances in SIB and PIB applications. Both the quantitatively kinetic analysis and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the interfacial ion transport is several orders higher than that of the pristine MXenes, which delivered much enhanced Na+ (536.3 mAhg(-1)@0.1 A g(-1)) and K+ (305.6 mAh g(-1)@1.0 A g(-1)) storage capabilities and excellent long- term cycling stability. Therefore, this work provides new insights into 2D materials engineering and low-cost, but kinetically sluggish post-Li batteries.
