Abstract
Over the past decade, MXenes, a novel class of advanced 2D nanomaterials, have manifested as a prominent electrode material with diverse applications. Their unique layered structures, negative zeta potential, charge carrier mobility, mechanical properties, adjustable bandgap, hydrophilicity, metallic nature, and surface chemistry collectively contribute to the abundance of active redox sites on the surface and a reduction in the ion diffusion pathway. Despite such promising attributes of MXene, challenges like aggregation and restacking reduce the accessibility of active surface sites for electrolyte ions. Amongst approaches such as surface functionalization, addition of spacers, or facilitating pore formation, the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of MXene on substrates has commenced to gain attention aiming to mitigate these issues. More importantly, it offers large-scale film fabrication in a short time without the necessity of using a charge-inducing agent. This review compiles recent advances in the use of EPD for preparing MXene-based electrodes and discusses the effect of EPD parameters on the relevant device performance. Recognition is given to understanding the relation of MXene colloidal composition in aqueous (and in some cases, non-aqueous) dispersions, deposition times, and other relevant parameters on respective device performances. In conclusion, the potential avenues offered by MXenes for future research on electrode materials are emphasized.

Abstract
Graphite, with abundant resources and low cost, is regarded as a promising anode material for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, because of the large size of potassium ions, the intercalation/deintercalation of potassium between the interlayers of graphite results in its huge volume expansion, leading to poor cycling stability and rate performance. Herein, a self-propagating reduction strategy is adopted to fabricate a flexible, self-supporting 3D porous graphite@reduced graphene oxide (3D-G@rGO) composite film for PIBs. The 3D porous network can not only effectively mitigate the volume expansion in graphite but also provide numerous active sites for potassium storage as well as allow for electrolyte penetration and rapid ion migration. Therefore, compared to the pristine graphite anode, the flexible 3D-G@rGO film electrode exhibits greatly improved K-storage performance with a reversible capacity of 452.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a capacity retention rate of 80.4% after 100 cycles. It also presents excellent rate capability with a high specific capacity of 139.1 and 94.2 mAh g-1 maintained at 2 and 5 C, respectively. The proposed self-propagating reduction strategy to construct a three-dimensional self-supporting structure is a viable route to improve the structural stability and potassium storage performance of graphite anodes.

Abstract
MXene, as a new category of two-dimensional nanomaterials, exhibits a promising prospect in biomedical applications due to its ultrathin structure and morphology, as well as a range of remarkable properties such as biological, chemical, electronic, and optical properties. In this work, different concentrations of MXene (M) were added to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, P)/nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA, H) mixed solution, and series of PVA/n-HA/MXene (PHM) composite membranes were obtained by combining sol-gel and freeze-drying processes. Morphology, chemical composition, surface, and mechanical properties of the prepared PHM membranes were characterized by various techniques. Subsequently, the swelling and degradation performances of the composite membranes were tested by swelling and degradation tests. In addition, in vitro studies like cell adhesion, cytotoxicity, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and antibacterial properties of MC3T3-E1 were also evaluated. The results showed that the addition of MXene could apparently improve the composite membranes' physicochemical properties, bioactivity, and osteogenic differentiation. Specially, PHM membrane had the best comprehensive properties when the concentration of MXene was set as 2.0% w/v. In a word, the addition of MXene has a positive effect on improving the mechanical properties, osteogenic induction, and antibacterial properties of PH composite membranes, and the prepared PHM composite membranes possess potential applications for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
A V2C MXene has a high theoretical capacity and low diffusion barrier, showing tremendous potential in lithium-ion batteries. However, most reports on V2C focus on a multilayered structure that is stacked, which diminishes the ionic accessibility and results in unsatisfactory cycling stability. Therefore, we synthesized a few-layer V2C (f-V2C) material and added multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The formed f-V2C/MWCNT provides abundant pores, which enhance ionic accessibility, so that Li+ can easily enter the layer space. The introduction of MWCNTs can further separate the f-V2C, expand the specific surface area, reduce the charge transfer resistance, and heighten the structural stability. The experiments reveal that f-V2C/MWCNT has a high specific capacity of 531 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5.0 A g-1, the specific capacity can still reach 166 mA h g-1. Moreover, the f-V2C/MWCNT structure shows good cycling stability with a capacity retention rate of 95% after 1000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1. The above findings indicate that f-V2C/MWCNT has great application potential in the field of Li+ storage.

Abstract
MXenes have shown great potential for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) due to the high metallic conductivity, tunable interlayer spacing and intercalation pseudocapacitance. In particular, the negative surface charge and high hydrophilicity of MXenes make them suitable for various solution processing strategies. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of solution processing of MXene MSCs has not been conducted. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art of MXene MSCs in terms of ink rheology, microelectrode design and integrated system. The ink formulation and rheological behavior of MXenes for different solution processing strategies, which are essential for high quality printed/coated films, are presented. The effects of MXene and its compounds, 3D electrode structure, and asymmetric design on the electrochemical properties of MXene MSCs are discussed in detail. Equally important, we summarize the integrated system and intelligent applications of MXene MSCs and present the current challenges and prospects for the development of high-performance MXene MSCs.

Abstract
Black phosphorus with a superior theoretical capacity (2596 mAh g-1) and high conductivity is regarded as one of the powerful candidates for lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode materials, whereas the severe volume expansion and sluggish kinetics still impede its applications in LIBs. By contrast, the exfoliated two-dimensional phosphorene owns negligible volume variation, and its intrinsic piezoelectricity is considered to be beneficial to the Li-ion transfer kinetics, while its positive influence has not been discussed yet. Herein, a phosphorene/MXene heterostructure-textured nanopiezocomposite is proposed with even phosphorene distribution and enhanced piezo-electrochemical coupling as an applicable free-standing asymmetric membrane electrode beyond the skin effect for enhanced Li-ion storage. The experimental and simulation analysis reveals that the embedded phosphorene nanosheets not only provide abundant active sites for Li-ions, but also endow the nanocomposite with favorable piezoelectricity, thus promoting the Li-ion transfer kinetics by generating the piezoelectric field serving as an extra accelerator. By waltzing with the MXene framework, the optimized electrode exhibits enhanced kinetics and stability, achieving stable cycling performances for 1,000 cycles at 2 A g-1, and delivering a high reversible capacity of 524 mAh g-1 at - 20 ℃, indicating the positive influence of the structural merits of self-assembled nanopiezocomposites on promoting stability and kinetics.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is a promising energy storage system due to its cost effectiveness and high energy density. However, formation of Li dendrites from Li metal anode and shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) from S cathode impede its practical application. Herein, ultrafine ZnS nanodots are uniformly grown on 2D MXene nanosheets by a low-temperature (60 °C) hydrothermal method for the first time. Distinctively, the ZnS nanodot-decorated MXene nanosheets (ZnS/MXene) can be easily filtered to be a flexible and freestanding film in several minutes. The ZnS/MXene film can be used as a current collector for Li-metal anode to promote uniform Li deposition due to the superior lithiophilicity of ZnS nanodots. ZnS/MXene powders obtained by freeze drying can be used as separator decorator to address the shuttle effect of LiPSs due to their excellent adsorbability. Theoretical calculation proves that the existence of ZnS nanodots on MXene can obviously improve the adsorption ability of ZnS/MXene with Li+ and LiPSs. Li-S full cells with composite Li-metal anode and modified separator exhibit remarkable rate and cycling performance. Other transition metal sulfides (CdS, CuS, etc.) can be also grown on 2D MXene nanosheets by the low-temperature hydrothermal strategy.

Abstract
MXenes are under the spotlight due to their versatile physicochemical characteristics. Since their discovery in 2011, significant advancements have been achieved in their synthesis and application sectors. However, the spontaneous oxidation of MXenes, which is critical to its processing and product lifespan, has gotten less attention due to its chemical complexity and poorly understood oxidation mechanism. This perspective focuses on the oxidation stability of MXenes and addresses the most recent advancements in understanding and the possible countermeasures to limit the spontaneous oxidation of MXenes. A section is dedicated to the presently accessible methods for monitoring oxidation, with a discussion on the debatable oxidation mechanism and coherently operating factors that contribute to the complexity of MXenes oxidation. The current potential solutions for mitigating MXenes oxidation and the existing challenges are also discussed with prospects to prolong MXene's shelf-life storage and expand their application scope.

Abstract
MXene is a type of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide and nitride, and its promising energy storage materials highlight its characteristics of high density, high metal-like conductivity, tunable terminals, and charge storage mechanisms known as pseudo-alternative capacitance. MXenes are a class of 2D materials synthesized by chemical etching of the A element in MAX phases. Since they were first discovered more than 10 years ago, the number of distinct MXenes has grown substantially to include numerous MnXn-1 (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5), solid solutions (ordered and disordered), and vacancy solids. To date, MXenes used in energy storage system applications have been broadly synthesized, and this paper summarizes the current developments, successes, and challenges of using MXenes in supercapacitors. This paper also reports the synthesis approaches, various compositional issues, material and electrode topology, chemistry, and hybridization of MXene with other active materials. The present study also summarizes MXene's electrochemical properties, applicability in pliant-structured electrodes, and energy storage capabilities when using aqueous/non-aqueous electrolytes. Finally, we conclude by discussing how to reshape the face of the latest MXene and what to consider when designing the next generation of MXene-based capacitors and supercapacitors.

Abstract
MXenes are normally used for energy storage applications. However, large nanosheets and restacking are detrimental to the ion diffusion and thus limit its rate capability. Here, a strategy to prepare flexible and porous MXene-M supercapacitor electrodes can simultaneously enlarge the interlayer spacing between layers and create holes in the layers. As a result, Ti3C2Tx-Mn presents an excellent lifespan, with still 248 F g-1 after 100 000 cycles at a current density of 100 A g-1. Moreover, Ti3C2Tx-Mn-based symmetric all-solid-state supercapacitor exhibits outstanding volumetric energy up to 52.4 mWh cm-3 and retains 38.4 mWh cm-3 at an ultrahigh volumetric power density of 55.3 W cm-3. We believe this work provides an idea for the later regulation of MXene layer spacing and the design of porous structures, and can be widely used in the next-generation high-energy density and power density practical applications.

Abstract
A popular substance in the MXene family, titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx), has received substantial attention mainly due to its high metallic conductivity, easy solution processability, and environment friendliness. However, the poor oxygen resistance nature of MXene has prevented its practical applications from being realized. Despite significant attempts to improve the oxidative stability of MXenes, a comprehensive understanding of the oxidation mechanism is still elusive, thus leaving an optimal strategy for recycling oxidized MXene in question. Here, by developing a facile hydrofluoric acid (HF) post-treatment, we have unraveled the regeneration kinetics of the oxidized Ti3C2Tx. A systematic and extensive investigation using a combination of Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that HF post-treatment is critical for restoring the structure/morphology and surface composition of MXene nanosheets. These are ascribed to the oxidizing agent removal kinetics, while the generation of amorphous carbon and Ti(III) in fluorinated derivatives provides efficient electrical conductivity. Our findings suggested that HF post-treatment is sufficient to evade and reduce the degradation process while maintaining the conductivity for a longer time, which will not only be economically advantageous but also a step forward for the rational design of Ti3C2Tx-based devices and functional coatings.

Abstract
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) with multicolor transition is widely studied in the electrochromic (EC) field to enrich color species of transition-metal oxides; yet, it always suffers from slow switching speed caused by poor electron conductivity and slow ion diffusion, poor cycling stability induced by large volume change during the EC reaction process. Herein, hierarchical network assembly of V2O5@C microrods is introduced to develop an ultrafast, stable, multicolor EC film. Using a two-step pyrolysis that involves metal-organic framework templates, porous microrods with a well-preserved one-dimensional structure are prepared through the assembly of V2O5@C nanocrystals at nanoscale, providing more active sites for ionic insertion and accessible pathways for electron transport. After spray-coating the V2O5@C microrods on conductive substrates, interconnected networks composed of V2O5@C microrods at microscale ensures the infiltration of electrolyte and provide ion transport channels. In addition, the nanoscale porous structure and coated carbon layer can accommodate volumetric changes during ion insertion/extraction process, ensuring high electrochemical stability. As a result, EC electrode with V2O5@C microrods network performed rapid switching speed (1.1/1.0 s) and stable cycle ability (96% after 2000 cycles). At last, flexible large-scale devices and multicolor digital displays were assembled to demonstrate potential application in next-generation wearable electronics.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries stand a chance of enabling fast charging ability and long lifespan while operating at low temperature (low-T). However, sluggish kinetics and aggravated dendrites present two major challenges for anodes to achieve the goal at low-T. Herein, we propose an interlayer confined strategy for tailoring nitrogen terminals on Ti3C2 MXene (Ti3C2-Nfunct) to address these issues. The introduction of nitrogen terminals endows Ti3C2-Nfunct with large interlayer space and charge redistribution, improved conductivity and sufficient adsorption sites for Na+, which improves the possibility of Ti3C2 for accommodating more Na atoms, further enhancing the Na+ storage capability of Ti3C2. As revealed, Ti3C2-Nfunct not only possesses a lower Na-ion diffusion energy barrier and charge transfer activation energy, but also exhibits Na+-solvent co-intercalation behavior to circumvent a high de-solvation energy barrier at low-T. Besides, the solid electrolyte interface dominated by inorganic compounds is more beneficial for the Na+ transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Compared with of the unmodified sample, Ti3C2-Nfunct exhibits a twofold capacity (201 mAh g-1), fast-charging ability (18 min at 80% capacity retention), and great superiority in cycle life (80.9%@5000 cycles) at - 25 °C. When coupling with Na3V2(PO4)2F3 cathode, the Ti3C2-Nfunct//NVPF exhibits high energy density and cycle stability at - 25 °C.

Abstract
Ionic electroactive polymer-based actuators have attracted much attention due to their low potential stimuli. In this work, MXene-Nafion composite actuators were fabricated, and the actuation performances were tested. The morphology of the as-made MXene-Nafion composite showed that the composite membrane was homogeneous, with an MXene doping level up to 5 wt%. In addition, the results of blocked force, response speed, and durability demonstrated that the actuation behavior of the composite-based actuator was enhanced due to the efficient dispersion of the two-dimensional nanofiller MXene. In addition, the blocking force of the composite actuator with a doping level of 0.5 wt% was about 6 times that of the pure Nafion without back-relaxation and durability degradation during the testing period.

Abstract
Supercapacitors have the characteristics of high power density and long cycle life, but the low energy density limits their further development. The 2D transitional metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) show great application prospects in the field of supercapacitors due to their superior volumetric capacitance, metallic-like conductivity, tunable surface terminations, and structural advantages. However, like other 2D materials, MXenes suffer from the inevitable problem of nanosheet restacking and aggregation, which reduces the overall active surface sites and blocks the accessibility of the electrolyte ions. The transformation of 2D MXene nanosheets into 3D architectures is proven effective to overcome the restacking problem. The review briefly summarizes the preparation strategies of 3D MXene materials, including template-assisted method, framework-assisted method, chemical assembly method, foaming method, and other methods with the discussion centered on the performances of 3D MXenes in supercapacitors. Finally, an outlook on the current progress and opportunities is given to highlight the increasing popularity of 3D MXenes in supercapacitors.

Abstract
MXene-based microsupercapacitors (MSCs) have promoted the development of on-chip energy storage for miniaturized and portable electronics due to the small size, high power density and integration density. However, restricted energy density and operating voltage invariably create obstacles to the practical application of MSCs. Here, we report a symmetric MXene-based on-chip MSC, achieving an ultrahigh energy density of 75 mWh cm-3 with high operating voltage of 1.2 V, which are almost the highest values among all reported symmetric MXene MSCs. The adjustment strategy of acetone on the viscosity and surface tension of MXene ink, along with the natural sedimentation strategy, can effectively prevent the orderly stacking of MXene sheets. Further, we developed an all-in-one Si-electronics with three series MSCs through laser-etching technology, obviously presenting high integration capacity and processing compatibility. Thus, this work will contribute to the development of high integration all-in-one electronics with high energy density MXene-based MSCs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) MXene materials show great potential in energy storage devices. However, the self-restacking of MXene nanosheets and the sluggish lithium-ion (Li+) kinetics greatly hinder their rate capability and cycling stability. Herein, we interlink 2D V2CTx MXene nanosheets with rGO to construct a 3D porous V2CTx-rGO composite. X-ray spectroscopy study reveals the close interfacial contact between V2CTx and rGO via electron transfer from V to C atoms. Benefiting from the close combination and optimized ion transport channel, V2CTx-rGO offers a high-rate Li+ storage performance and excellent cycling stability over 2000 cycles with negligible capacity attenuation. Moreover, it exhibits a dominant mechanism of intercalation pseudocapacitance and efficient Li+ transport proved by density functional theory calculation. This rationally designed 3D V2CTx-rGO has implications for the study of the MXene composite's structure and energy storage devices with high rate and stability.

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.
