Abstract

MXenes, as a prominent class of two-dimensional (2D) materials have gained significant attention in various research fields over the past decade. In recent years, MXene-based materials have emerged as promising candidates for conductive electrodes in printed electronics due to their unique properties, including high electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, stability, compatibility, and large surface area. These attributes make MXenes highly desirable for flexible printable electronics. MXenes have demonstrated great potential in energy storage systems, particularly in supercapacitors (SCs) and batteries. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in MXene synthesis and their significance in energy storage applications. Specifically, it summarizes the electrochemical performance of SCs and batteries utilizing MXene-based materials. Moreover,the review highlights current challenges associated with MXene inks and shedding light on new opportunities for integrating MXenes into diverse electronic devices and systems. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
