Abstract

Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) are considered promising candidates due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. The combination of TMSs with conductive 2D MXene is currently facilitating a significant enhancement in the electrochemical performance of devices. Recent studies show that the incorporation of MXenes with transition metal sulfides results in composites that exhibit improved electrochemical performance. This review offers a detailed overview of recent progress in MXene/TMS composites for energy storage applications. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the performance enhancement for TMS/MXene materials, experimental insights into energy storage applications are studied. Further, the perspectives on the current challenges and the potential for future progress in this field are discussed.
