Abstract

The applications of MXenes and their composites or hybrids in energy storage and conversion are overviewed. In energy storage devices, MXenes are mainly used as the electrodes, due to their multi-layered structure, high electrical conductivity, strong mechanical flexibility and high specific surface area. Furthermore, they can be readily combined with various other active materials, thus leading to electrodes with enhanced electrochemical performances.
