Abstract

Next-generation rechargeable batteries are being developed to address challenges such as low cost, high stability, high energy density, and safe energy storage materials. MXene-based mate-rials have attracted wide attention due to their unique properties, large surface area, high electrical conductivity, and easy dispersion in solvents compared to graphene. MXene derived from carbide and nitrides of transition metals (Ti3C2TX) have unique properties compared to other two-dimensional materials (2D) for use in rechargeable batteries. MXene electrodes delivered excellent performance and cyclic stability in various rechargeable secondary batteries. This re-view highlights the role of MXene in next-generation rechargeable batteries of lithium ion bat-teries (LIBs), lithium sulfur batteries (LISBs), sodium ion batteries (SIBs), zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), aluminium ion batteries (AlIBs), potassium ion batteries (PIBs) and magnesium ion bat-teries (MIBs). Moreover, in this review, we discussed the current research developments to im-prove the efficiency of energy storage devices and present the future research direction to im-prove the scalability, stability, and overall performance of MXene-coated electrodes in recharge-able batteries to overcome the energy storage challenges.
