Abstract
A heterostructure composed of ZIF-67-derived nitrogen and cobalt-doped carbon enfolded silicon (C@Si) nanoparticles anchored on 2D MXene layers was constructed for boosting the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The heterostructure anode demonstrated a high initial discharge capacity of 3021 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, retaining outstanding cycling stability with a reversible capacity of 520 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1, and the coulombic efficiency remained above 97% after 500 cycles. The introduced Ti3C2 nanosheets and the cobalt-doped carbon can not only contribute to the interfacial transfer of Li+ and electrons but also buffer the volume expansion of Si.

Abstract
Conjugated carbonyl compounds are regarded as promising organic anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) due to their rich redox sites, excellent reversibility, and structural tunability, but their low electrical conductivity and severe solubility in organic electrolytes have substantially restricted their practical application. Herein, 2D MXene is utilized as an electrochemically active binder to fabricate perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) electrodes for high-performance PIBs. MXene, coupled with Super-P particles, served as a binder and conductive matrix to facilitate rapid ion and electron transport, restrain the solubility of PTCDA, promote potassium adsorption, and alleviate the volume expansion of PTCDA during potassiation. Consequently, the PTCDA electrode bonded by the MXene/Super-P system delivers excellent potassium storage performance in terms of a high capacity of 462 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1, superior rate capability of 116.3 mAh g-1 at 2000 mA g-1, and stable cycle performance over 3000 cycles with a low capacity decay rate of ∼0.0033% per cycle. When configured with the PTCDA@450 cathode, an all-PTCDA potassium ion full cell delivers a maximum energy density of 179.5 Wh kg-1, indicating the superiority of MXene as an electrochemically active binder to promote the practical application of organic anodes for PIBs.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has emerged as a potent anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but faces challenges like low electrical conductivity and significant volume changes during lithiation/delithiation, leading to material pulverization and capacity degradation. Recent research on nanostructured Si aims to mitigate volume expansion and enhance electrochemical performance, yet still grapples with issues like pulverization, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) growth, and interparticle resistance. This review delves into innovative strategies for optimizing Si anodes' electrochemical performance via structural engineering, focusing on the synthesis of Si/C composites, engineering multidimensional nanostructures, and applying non-carbonaceous coatings. Forming a stable SEI is vital to prevent electrolyte decomposition and enhance Li+ transport, thereby stabilizing the Si anode interface and boosting cycling Coulombic efficiency. We also examine groundbreaking advancements such as self-healing polymers and advanced prelithiation methods to improve initial Coulombic efficiency and combat capacity loss. Our review uniquely provides a detailed examination of these strategies in real-world applications, moving beyond theoretical discussions. It offers a critical analysis of these approaches in terms of performance enhancement, scalability, and commercial feasibility. In conclusion, this review presents a comprehensive view and a forward-looking perspective on designing robust, high-performance Si-based anodes the next generation of LIBs.

Ultralong Stability of Ti 3 C 2 T x -MXene Dispersion Through Synergistic Regulation of Storage Environment and Defect Capping with Tris-HCl Buffering. SMALL METHODS 2024:e2301689.

Abstract
Aqueous MXene dispersion suffers from a bottleneck issue of oxidation, leading to its gradual deterioration and ultimately compromised physicochemical characteristics. Herein, Tris-HCl buffer is employed to stabilize the diluted Ti3 C2 Tx -MXene dispersion (0.05 mg mL-1 ) through the synergy of its potent pH-regulation capability and capping effect toward oxidation-susceptible defects/edges. Tris-HCl functionalized Ti3 C2 Tx maintained its original morphology, structure, and favorable dispersity even after 150 days of aging under naturally aerated conditions. The pH-regulation nature of Tris-HCl is elucidated through solution monitoring of Ti3 C2 Tx dispersion, while the adsorption of Tris-HCl onto defects/edges is revealed by spectral analysis and multi-scale simulations. Tris-HCl at the neutral pH can bind to the negatively charged basal plane of Ti3 C2 Tx via + HTris moiety, while the other moiety (Tris) interacts with the exposed edge-based Ti atoms and/or intrinsic defects, forming a Ti─N bond that prevents MXene from attack by H2 O and O2 . Besides, Tris-HCl stabilized Ti3 C2 Tx exhibited nearly identical capacitive characteristics to its freshly-etched counterpart, indicating the minimal impact of Tris-HCl on electrochemical performance of Ti3 C2 Tx during long-term storage. This study provides practical guidance for stabilizing MXene in their native aqueous dispersion without compromising the inherent properties.

Abstract
Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (PAN@S) is a promising cathode material for room-temperature Na/S batteries but suffers from low conductivity and insufficient electrochemical activity, resulting in unsatisfactory actual capacity and rate performance. Herein, Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets are used as a conductive and catalytic binder to establish the PAN@S electrode, wherein MXene constructs a highly conductive framework for fast charge transport and provides high catalytic effect to improve the active material utilization and accelerate the redox kinetics significantly. Therefore, the PAN@S electrode bonded by MXene shows an electronic conductivity of 5.05 S cm-1, 4 orders of magnitude higher than the conventional electrodes bonded by the insulative polymer binders, and much decreased activation energy barrier and resistance. Consequently, the PAN@S electrode displays superior performance in terms of high capacity (697.3 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1), unparalleled rate capability (189.0 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1), and excellent high-rate cycling performance (a capacity decay rate of ∼0.04% per cycle during 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1). This work provides a high-performance electrode for room-temperature Na/S batteries and shows the promising potential of conductive and catalytic MXene binders in boosting the performance of active materials.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries have garnered significant interest as potential energy storage systems for the future, owing to their remarkable theoretical specific capacity (1675 mA h g-1) and energy density (2600 W h kg-1). However, their development has been severely impeded by several challenges, including the low intrinsic conductivity of sulfur, volume expansion issues, and the polysulfide shuttle effect. To address these issues, polar metal compounds with nanostructures featuring hollow shells and catalytic functions have emerged as promising materials for designing advanced lithium-sulfur batteries. In this study, bimetallic selenides with varying degrees of hollowness are synthesized using a tannic acid etching and selenization strategy. By comparing the electrochemical characteristics of composite electrodes with different degrees of hollowness, an optimal semi-hollow core-shell structure is identified, implying that reasonable structural designing of metal compounds carries immense importance in improving electrochemical reactions. Moreover, the appropriate degree of hollowness effectively mitigates volume expansion issues associated with the sulfur cathode. Consequently, bimetallic selenides with a hollow core-shell structure coated with conductive MXene material exhibit superior electrochemical performance. The synergistic effect achieved through the judicious design of the hollow core-shell structure and the utilization of polar metal compounds has proved instrumental in enhancing the redox kinetics of lithium-sulfur batteries. As such, this research presents a novel avenue for the development of high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
In recent years, flexible and wearable electronics such as smart cards, smart fabrics, bio-sensors, soft robotics, and internet-linked electronics have impacted our lives. In order to meet the requirements of more flexible and adaptable paradigm shifts, wearable products may need to be seamlessly integrated. A great deal of effort has been made in the last two decades to develop flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs). The selection of suitable flexible materials is important for the development of flexible electrolytes self-supported and supported electrodes. This review is focused on the critical discussion of the factors that evaluate the flexibility of the materials and their potential path toward achieving the FLIBs. Following this analysis, we present how to evaluate the flexibility of the battery materials and FLIBs. We describe the chemistry of carbon-based materials, covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and MXene-based materials and their flexible cell design that represented excellent electrochemical performances during bending. Furthermore, the application of state-of-the-art solid polymer and solid electrolytes to accelerate the development of FLIBs is introduced. Analyzing the contributions and developments of different countries has also been highlighted in the past decade. In addition, the prospects and potential of flexible materials and their engineering are also discussed, providing the roadmap for further developments in this fast-evolving field of FLIB research.

Abstract
Exceptional electrical conductivity and abundance of surface terminations like-F- and OH- leading to hydrophilicity make the family of 2D transition metal carbides/nitrides and carbonitrides (MXene) excellent candidates for energy storage and conversion applications. MXenes, however, undergo restacking of nanosheets via van der Waals interaction, hindering the active sites, leading to slow electronic and ionic kinetics, and ultimately affecting their electrochemical performance. Herein, we report binder-free cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-reduced graphene oxide (CTAB-rGO)-modified MXene hybrid films on nickel foam as a promising noble metal-free multifunctional electrode synthesized via layer-by-layer assembly and dip coating techniques, which effectively reduce restacking while improving the kinetics. The properties of the as-prepared electrocatalysts are investigated using various physiochemical characterizations and electrochemical measurements to accomplish the objective of "creating one kind of electrocatalyst for multiapplication" with a thorough understanding of the relationship between the material structure, morphology, and electrocatalytic performance. In energy conversion, the synergetic effect of MXene and the CTAB-rGO support helped increase the catalytic activity of the composite for electrochemical water splitting, demonstrating a current density of 10 mA/cm2 at an overpotential (η) of 360 V and a Tafel slope value of 56.6 mV/dec for hydrogen evolution reaction and a current density of 10 mA/cm2 at an overpotential (η) of 179 mV and a Tafel slope value of 47.03 mV/dec for oxygen evolution reaction in an alkaline medium. The electrode material also exhibited a higher oxidation current density (373.60 mA/cm2) compared to that of synthesized MXene toward methanol oxidation reaction in direct methanol fuel cell application. Additionally, the energy storage potential of CTAB-rGO modified MXene as electrode materials for supercapacitors with a high specific capacitance (544.50 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1) and a good capacity retention of 87% after 5000 cycles was studied. These findings of this work showcase the potential of the electrocatalyst in both conversion and storage of electrochemical energy.

Three-dimensional Ti 3C 2T x and MnS composites as anode materials for high performance alkalis (Li, Na, K) ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 633:468-479. [PMID: 36463816 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Exploring capable and universal electrode materials could promote the development of alkalis (Li, Na, K) ion batteries. 2D MXene material is an ideal host for the alkalis (Li, Na, K) ion storage, but its electrochemical performance is limited by serious re-stacking and aggregation problems. Herein, we cleverly combined electrostatic self-assembly with gas-phase vulcanization method to successfully combine Ti3C2Tx-MXene with ultra-long recyclability and high conductivity with MnS, which presents high specific capacity but poor conductivity. The as-prepared 3D hierarchical Ti3C2Tx/MnS composites have an unique sandwich-like constituent units. The tiny MnS nanoparticles are restricted between the Ti3C2Tx layers and play a key role in expanding the Ti3C2Tx interlayer spacing. As a result, the 3D Ti3C2Tx/MnS composites as the anode of LIBs exhibits a superior capacities of 826 and 634 mAh/g after 1000 and 3000 cycles at 0.5 and 1.0 A/g, respectively. More importantly, we reveal the reaction mechanism that the specific capacity first increases and then gradually stabilizes with the increase of charge and discharge cycle times when the as-prepared 3D Ti3C2Tx/MnS was used as the anode of LIBs. In addition, we have also used this material in SIBs and PIBs and achieved remarkable electrochemical capability, with a specific capacity of 107 mAh/g after 2500 cycles at 0.5 A/g or 127 mAh/g after the 2000th cycle at 0.2 A/g, respectively.

Abstract
AbstractLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most important electrochemical energy storage devices due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low cost. During the past decades, many review papers outlining the advantages of state-of-the-art LIBs have been published, and extensive efforts have been devoted to improving their specific energy density and cycle life performance. These papers are primarily focused on the design and development of various advanced cathode and anode electrode materials, with less attention given to the other important components of the battery. The “nonelectroconductive” components are of equal importance to electrode active materials and can significantly affect the performance of LIBs. They could directly impact the capacity, safety, charging time, and cycle life of batteries and thus affect their commercial application. This review summarizes the recent progress in the development of nonaqueous electrolytes, binders, and separators for LIBs and discusses their impact on the battery performance. In addition, the challenges and perspectives for future development of LIBs are discussed, and new avenues for state-of-the-art LIBs to reach their full potential for a wide range of practical applications are outlined.

Abstract
Mn3O4 is regarded as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on its ultrahigh theoretical capacity (937 mAh g-1) and low cost but suffers from poor electronic conductivity and large volume variation during the lithiation/delithiation process, which result in dramatic capacity fading and inferior rate capability. Ti3C2Tx MXene, a novel two-dimensional transition metal carbide with metallic conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and hydrophilic surface, could be an ideal candidate to improve the lithium storage performance of Mn3O4. Here, a unique flexible, 2D-2D Mn3O4/MXene film is fabricated by assembling 2D Mn3O4 with Ti3C2Tx nanosheets through a simple vacuum filtration approach. In this unique 2D-2D nanostructure, MXene nanosheets buffer the volume change of Mn3O4 during the charge/discharge process. Moreover, the introduction of MXene enables the fabricated 2D-2D nanostructure with excellent flexibility and can be directly used as an electrode for LIBs, which is beneficial for enhancing the energy density of the assembled batteries. As a result, the flexible film of Mn3O4-MXene-8-2 shows excellent lithium storage performances in terms of specific capacity (931 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), rate capability (624 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1), and cycling stability, demonstrating its great potential for the application in LIBs.

Abstract
Since their first commercialization in the 1990s,lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become an indispensible part of our everyday life in particular for portable electronic devices. LIBs have been considered as the most promising sustainable high energy density storage device. In recent years, there is a strong demand of LIBs for hybrid electric and electric vehicles to lower carbon footprint and mitigate climate change. However, LIBs have several issues, for example, high cost and safety issues such as over discharge, intolerance to overcharge, high temperature operation etc. To address these issues several new types of electrodes are being studied. Traditional binder PVDF is costly, difficult to recyle, undergoes side reactions at high temperature and cannot stabilize high energy density electrodes. To overcome these challenges, diiferent binders have been introduced with these electrodes. This minireview is focused on the application of guar gum as a binder for different electrodes and separator. The electrochemical performance of electrodes with guar gum has been compared with other binders.

Abstract
Although it is a promising sodium storage material due to its excellent electrochemical activity, small bandgap, and large interlayer spacing, layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) suffers from poor rate capability and degraded cycling life, resulting from its serious aggregation upon preparation, sluggish reaction kinetics, and structure expansion during cycling. To address these issues, a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-assisted fabrication approach was developed for the rational synthesis of an interconnected framework with nitrogen-doped carbon-confined MoS2 nanosheets/Ti3 C2 Tx MXene (MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx @NC), where the PEI could guide the uniform growth of MoS2 on Ti3 C2 Tx and the self-generated NC simultaneously enhanced its synergistic coupling with MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx , thus contributing to the improvement of charge transfer, diffusion kinetics, and structural integrity of the hybrid electrode. Consequently, the desired MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx @NC delivered impressive sodium storage performance, demonstrating high reversible capacities of 397.3 and 206.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles and 0.5 A g-1 after 500 cycles, respectively. Moreover, electrochemical kinetics analysis and charge storage mechanism manifested that high capacitive contribution, facilitated Na+ transport pathways, and synergistic electronic coupling between MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx and NC contributed to the superior sodium storage performance.

Abstract
Current lithium-ion battery technology is approaching the theoretical energy density limitation, which is challenged by the increasing requirements of ever-growing energy storage market of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and portable electronic devices. Although great progresses are made on tailoring the electrode materials from methodology to mechanism to meet the practical demands, sluggish mass transport, and charge transfer dynamics are the main bottlenecks when increasing the areal/volumetric loading multiple times to commercial level. Thus, this review presents the state-of-the-art developments on rational design of the commercialization-driven electrodes for lithium batteries. First, the basic guidance and challenges (such as electrode mechanical instability, sluggish charge diffusion, deteriorated performance, and safety concerns) on constructing the industry-required high mass loading electrodes toward commercialization are discussed. Second, the corresponding design strategies on cathode/anode electrode materials with high mass loading are proposed to overcome these challenges without compromising energy density and cycling durability, including electrode architecture, integrated configuration, interface engineering, mechanical compression, and Li metal protection. Finally, the future trends and perspectives on commercialization-driven electrodes are offered. These design principles and potential strategies are also promising to be applied in other energy storage and conversion systems, such as supercapacitors, and other metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
ZnS has great potentials as an anode for lithium storage because of its high theoretical capacity and resource abundance; however, the large volume expansion accompanied with structural collapse and low conductivity of ZnS cause severe capacity fading and inferior rate capability during lithium storage. Herein, 0D-2D ZnS nanodots/Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrids are prepared by anchoring ZnS nanodots on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets through coordination modulation between MXene and MOF precursor (ZIF-8) followed with sulfidation. The MXene substrate coupled with the ZnS nanodots can synergistically accommodate volume variation of ZnS over charge-discharge to realize stable cyclability. As revealed by XPS characterizations and DFT calculations, the strong interfacial interaction between ZnS nanodots and MXene nanosheets can boost fast electron/lithium-ion transfer to achieve excellent electrochemical activity and kinetics for lithium storage. Thereby, the as-prepared ZnS nanodots/MXene hybrid exhibits a high capacity of 726.8 mAh g-1 at 30 mA g-1, superior cyclic stability (462.8 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1), and excellent rate performance. The present results provide new insights into the understanding of the lithium storage mechanism of ZnS and the revealing of the effects of interfacial interaction on lithium storage performance enhancement.

Abstract
Cross-linked polyethylene glycol-based resin (c-PEGR) is constructed by a ring-opening reaction of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) with epoxy groups and polyether amine (PEA) with amino groups. By confining the hydroxyl groups with inferior oxidative stability to the c-PEGR backbone, the oxidation potential of the PEG-based polymer material with reduced reactivity is boosted to 4.36 V. The c-PEGR based gel electrolyte shows excellent flexibility, lithium-ion transport, lithium compatibility, and enhanced oxidation stability, and is successfully applied to a 4.35 V lithium cobaltate (LCO)||lithium (Li) battery system. A quasi-static linear scanning voltammetry (QS-LSV) method is proposed for the first time to accurately measure the oxidation potential and electrochemical stability window of materials with low conductivities such as polymers, which possesses the advantages of high accuracy and short test time. This work provides new insights and research techniques for selecting polymer electrolytes for high-voltage flexible lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Abstract
AbstractGraphite anodes show great potential for potassium storage, however, their capacity fades quickly owing to substantial interlayer expansion/shrinkage (i.e., up to 60%) induced structural degradation. Here, Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets are used as a fast electron/potassium‐ion dual‐function conductor to construct the framework of all‐integrated graphite nanoflake (GNF)/MXene (GNFM) electrodes. The continuous MXene framework constructs a 3D channel for fast electron/potassium‐ion transfer and endows GNFM electrodes with a high structural stability. Owing to this unique MXene framework, GNFM electrodes exhibit much enhanced potassium storage performances than that of the conventional polymer‐bonded electrodes even at high mass loadings. Moreover, GNFM electrodes also show impressive cyclability in non‐flammable electrolytes and are further used as anodes to assemble novel non‐flammable potassium‐ion capacitors that show an excellent cyclability and high energy/power densities (113.1 Wh kg–1 and 12.2 kW kg–1). New insights into phase transition mechanism in GNFM electrodes are verified by operando XRD. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that MXene can promote electron transfer and potassium diffusion in the heterointerface between GNF and MXene. Therefore, the results demonstrate that all‐integrated GNFM electrodes designed with MXene as multifunctional frameworks provide a new paradigm for producing efficient potassium storage anodes.

MXene-based enzymatic sensor for highly sensitive and selective detection of cholesterol. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 183:113243.

Abstract
In this work, the synthesized MXene (Ti3C2Tx) exhibited large specific area, biocompatibility, excellent electronic conductivity, and good dispersion in aqueous phase. The Chit/ChOx/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposite was prepared through the continuous self-assembled process. Its structure is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Moreover, the biosensor for cholesterol detection was fabricated via a one-step dip-coating method. Chit andTi3C2Tx act as a support matrix to immobilize ChOx enzyme, and also play a role in increasing the electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, the addition of redox mediator (Fe(CN)63-/4-) facilitates the electron transport from the analyte to the modified electrode in the oxidation of cholesterol. The DPV response exhibited an increase in current with increasing cholesterol concentration. Under the optimum conditions, the DPV response of the biosensor indicated a good linear relationship with the concentration of cholesterol ranging from 0.3 to 4.5 nM with a low detection limit of 0.11 nM, and a high sensitivity of 132.66 μA nM-1 cm-2. In addition, with favorable selectivity and stability, the biosensor has been used to detect cholesterol in real samples and the results demonstrate that the biosensor has excellent practicability.

Abstract
Recently, the frequency of combining MXene, which has unique properties such as metal-level conductivity and large specific surface area, with silicon to achieve excellent electrochemical performance has increased considerably. There is no doubt that the introduction of MXene can improve the conductivity of silicon and the cycling stability of electrodes after elaborate structure design. However, most exhaustive contacts can only improve the electrode conductivity on the plane. Herein, a MXene@Si/CNTs (HIEN-MSC) composite with hierarchical interpenetrating electroconductive networks has been synthesized by electrostatic self-assembly. In this process, the CNTs are first combined with silicon nanoparticles and then assembled with MXene nanosheets. Inserting CNTs into silicon nanoparticles can not only reduce the latter's agglomeration, but also immobilizes them on the three-dimensional conductive framework composed of CNTs and MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the HIEN-MSC electrode shows superior rate performance (high reversible capacity of 280 mA h-1 even tested at 10 A g-1 ), cycling stability (stable reversible capacity of 547 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1 ) and applicability (a high reversible capacity of 101 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles when assembled with NCM622 into a full cell). These results may provide new insights for other electrodes with excellent rate performance and long-cycle stability.

Abstract
A new approach using graphene as a conductive binder in electrical supercapacitors has recently been proposed. Graphene shows outstanding properties as a conductive binder, and can be used to replace conductive, additive, and polymer binders. However, graphene follows an EDLC behaviour, which may limit its electrochemical performance. In the process described in this work, we introduced WSe2 nanoflakes as a new approach to using pseudocapacitive materials as binders. The WSe2 nanoflakes were produced through liquid phase exfoliation of bulk WSe2, and the flake size was finely selected using a controlled centrifugation speed. The physical and electrochemical properties of the exfoliated WSe2 flakes were analysed; it was found that the smallest flakes (an average flake size of 106 nm) showed outstanding electrochemical properties, expanding our understanding of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials, and we were able to demonstrate the applicability of using WSe2 as a binder in supercapacitor electrodes. We also successfully replaced conductive additives and polymer binders with WSe2. The overall performance was improved: capacitance was enhanced by 35%, charge transfer resistance reduced by 73%, and self-discharge potential improved by 9%. This study provides an alternative application of using TMD materials as pseudo capacitive binders, which should lead to the continued development of energy storage technology.

Abstract
As the demand for batteries increases with the development of electric vehicles, the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) should be continuously enhanced. Due to the excellent theoretical specific capacity, silicon (Si) is the most promising anode material for LIBs. Nevertheless, the application of Si-based anodes is constrained by critical problems such as low conductivity and extreme volume change. Herein, we demonstrate an effective strategy for the fabrication of a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous-structured Si-based anode with dual MXene protection (namely, SiNP@MX1/MX2). By electrostatic force induced self-assembly between modified Si with a positive charge and MXene nanosheets with a negative charge on the surface, Si nanoparticles are riveted to the MXene nanosheets (namely, SiNP@MX1), and then embedded into the 3D MXene skeleton (MX2) via a hydrothermal reaction and freeze-drying. Through the tailored and reasonable design, the internal MX1 coating can accommodate the volume expansion and avoid particle aggregation. The external MX2 allows for rapid electron transport and ion transfer while further buffering volume changes. Most importantly, by preventing Si from directly contacting the electrolyte, the double MXene-wrapped protection design benefits from the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film. The SiNP@MX1/MX2 anode material has a high capacity of 1422 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 after 200 cycles, excellent cycle stability, and good rate performance. At the same time, the method proposed in this study is expected to be applied to the preparation of other alloy anodes/MXene hybrids for storage batteries.

Abstract
MXene nanosheets have been used for preparing highly flexible integrated electrodes due to their two-dimensional (2D) morphology, flexibility, high conductivity, and abundant functional groups. However, restacking of 2D nanosheets inhibits the ion transport in MXene electrodes, limiting their thickness, rate performance, and energy storage capacity. Here, we employed a natural sedimentation method instead of the conventional vacuum-assisted filtration to prepare flexible Ti3C2Tx MXene films with enlarged interlayer spacing, which facilitates the access of the lithium ions to the interlayers and thus leads to a greatly enhanced electrochemical performance. The naturally sedimented flexible film shows a double lithium storage capacity compared to the conventional vacuum-filtered MXene film, along with improved rate performance and excellent cycle stability.

Abstract
Bi2MoO6 is a potentially promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of its high theoretical capacity coupled with low desertion potential. Due to low conductivity and large volume expansion/contraction during charge/discharge cycling of Bi2MoO6, effective modification is indispensable to address these issues. In this study, a plate-to-layer Bi2MoO6/Ti3C2Tx (MXene) heterostructure is proposed by electrostatic assembling positive-charged Bi2MoO6 nanoplates on negative-charged MXene nanosheets. MXene nanosheets in the heterostructure act as a highly conductive substrate to load and anchor the Bi2MoO6 nanoplates, so as to improve electronic conductivity and structural stability. When the mass ratio of MXene is optimized to 30%, the Bi2MoO6/MXene heterostructure exhibits high specific capacities of 692 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 200 cycles and 545.1 mAh g-1 with 99.6% coulombic efficiency at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. The results provide not only a high-performance lithium storage material, but also an effective strategy that could address the intrinsic issues of various transition metal oxides by anchoring them on MXene nanosheets to form heterostructures and use as anode materials for LIBs.
