On MXene Conducting Polymer Nanocomposites Micro-Supercapacitors and Applications

Abstract

Abstract Due to escalating evolution of micro-electronics utilized in wearable, as well as flexible electronics, the quests for micro-batteries along with micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) has increased tremendously. MSCs have attracted increasing interests as a result of the development occurring in scope of these energy storing micro-architectures. Appropriate electrode material selection constitutes a fundamental choice in design and fabrication of MSCs. Presently, an emerging class of two-dimensional transitional metallic (M) carbides or nitrides (X) referred as 2-D MXene (M-X) has emanated and pronounced efficient for energy storage. Hence, as a result of inherently elevated electronic conductivity of 10,000 S cm− 1, elevated charge storing efficiency, and ease of processability, M-X has demonstrated high prospects for fabrication of MSC electrodes. Thus, M-X has been versatily utilized in stacked form or within inter-digitalized system for on-chip MSCs. Therefore, this paper elucidates recently emerging trends in M-X hybrids and conducting polymeric nanoarchitecture oriented energy storing systems especially for MSCs, Metal-ion batteries and other energy storage systems.
