Abstract
|
With the accelerating development of next-generation batteries, it is particularly important to explore suitable
electrode materials. MXenes, as a broad family of 2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides, have received
wide attention for emerging batteries owing to their large interlayer spaces, tunable surface chemistry, excellent
hydrophilicity, and high conductivity. Thanks to these merits, MXenes bring new opportunities to design new
electrode materials for high-performance rechargeable batteries. In the MXene family, vanadium carbides or
vanadium based MXene (V-MXene) are emerging electrode materials that have attracted great interest among the
different non titanium (Ti) based MXenes. This review summarizes an outline of the crystal structure, properties,
synthesis, and energy storage applications of V-MXene based materials. Herein, this work focuses on the recent
advances in V-MXenes and their composites/heterostructures for high-performance metal ion batteries including
Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Zn2+, and Al3+. Also, the existing challenges and perspectives on future studies about VMXenes
and their composites/heterostructures are briefly discussed. This review proclaims that V-MXenes based
materials can be promising electrode materials for both lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and nonlithium ion batteries
(e.g., Na+, K+, Mg2+, Zn2+, Al3+)
