Abstract
Exploring combinatorial materials, as well as rational device configuration design, are assumed to be the key strategies for deploying versatile electrochemical devices. MXene sheets have revealed a high hydrophilic surface with proper mechanical and electrical characteristics, rendering them supreme additive candidates to integrate in electrospun electrochemical power tools. The synergetic effects of MXene 2D layers with the nanofibrous networks can boost actuator responsive ability, battery capacity retention, fuel cell stability, sensor sensitivity, and supercapacitor areal capacitance. Their superior mechanical features can be endowed to the electrospun layers through the embedding of the MXene additive. In this review, the preparation and inherent features of the MXene configurations are briefly evaluated. The fabrication and overall performance of the MXene-loaded nanofibers applicable in electrochemical actuators, batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and supercapacitors are comprehensively figured out. Eventually, an outlook on the future development of MXene-based electrospun composites is presented. A substantial focus has been devoted to date to engineering conjugated MXene and electrospun fibrous frames. The potential performance of the MXene-decorated nanofibers presents a bright future of nanoengineering toward technological growth. Meanwhile, a balance between the pros and cons of the synthesized MXene composite layers is worthwhile to consider in the future.

Abstract
Recently, it has been reported that MXene is a promising pseudocapacitive material for energy storage, primarily due to its intercalation mechanism. However, Ti3C2Tx MXenes face challenges, such as inadequate layer spacing and low specific capacity, which greatly hinder their potential as anode materials for sodium storage. In this study, MXene was doped with sulfur to create a three-dimensional porous structure that resulted in an increased layer spacing. The sulfur-doped porous MXene (SPM) demonstrated exceptional performance as sodium ion battery anodes, with a capacity of 335.2 mA h g-1 after 490 cycles at 2 A g-1 and a long-term cycling performance of 256.1 mA h g-1 even after 2480 cycles at 5 A g-1. It is worth noting that the porous structure formed after sulfur-doping exhibits superior sodium storage performance compared to previously reported MXene-based electrodes. This highlights the feasibility of the structural construction strategy, offering an effective solution for energy storage and conversion applications.

Abstract
Flexible energy storage device is one of the most critical components as power source for wearable electronics. The emergence of MXenes, a growing family of 2D nanomaterials, has demonstrated a brand-new possibility for flexible energy storage. However, the fabrication of MXene films with satisfactory mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical reliabilities remains challenging due to the weak interlayer interactions and self-restacking of MXene sheets. Sequential bridging of polydopamine/polyethyleneimine-functionalized (PDA/PEI)-coated MXene sheets to induce synergistically covalent and hydrogen binding connections of MXene-based films is demonstrated here. By interrupting self-hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions, the introduction of long-chain PEI can not only inhibit the massive aggregation of PDA, but also improve the continuity of the interconnection network of PDA/PEI between MXene layers. Hence, the as-prepared MXene/PDA/PEI composite film displays high mechanical strength (≈366 MPa) which achieves 12-fold improvement compared with pure MXene film, as well as superior energy storage capability (≈454 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1 ) and rate performance of ≈48% at 10 000 mV s-1 . This modulation of inserted polymer between MXene layers can provide an avenue for assembling high performance MXene films, and can even be extended to the fabrication of other 2D platelets for varied applications.
