Emerging role of MXene in energy storage as electrolyte, binder, separator, and current collector: A review

Numerous energy storage parts can benefit from valuable and unique properties of MXenes. MXenes serve a variety of purposes in batteries and supercapacitors, including substrates for electrodeposition, steric hindrance, ion redistribution, bilayer and oxidation/reduction ion storage, ion transfer regulation, and more. They have been used to improve the performance and stability of separators, electrolytes and electrodes. Here, we discuss about various MXene preparation methods, its numerous physicochemical properties, and then present some recent studies in which MXene-based materials have been used as electrolytes, separators, current collectors, and binders in energy storage devices. Finally, we provide an outlook on the prospects and challenges associated with energy storage device components based on MXene and probable direction for future applications.
