Summary: This study successfully fabricated adjustable thickness flexible Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/polyaniline (PANI) films as high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials. Introducing PANI nanofibers increases the specific capacitance of the MXene film, but excessive nanofibers lead to increased film thickness and decreased specific capacitance. The assembled device based on the optimal composite film exhibited high specific capacitance and capacitance retention rate, as well as excellent energy density.
