Abstract

Replacements for traditional commercial graphite anodes are crucial for the advancement of the next generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). MXene 2D materials are highly conductive, layered compounds renowned for their exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, making them well-suited for energy storage and electronic applications. This study explores increasing the lithium-storage capacity of MXene anodes through partial etching and combines their high-power performance with the high energy features of MnFe2O4 to create new anodes for LIBs. The optimal composite sample of MnFe2O4/PE-Ti3C2Tx (2) exhibited lithium-ion storage capacities of 1175 and 121 mAh g−1 at current densities of 0.1 and 5 A g−1, respectively, after 350 and 2000 charge-discharge cycles. Adding Ti3C2Tx to MnFe2O4 reduced its open-circuit voltage drop by half, from 46.5%. Additionally, this method significantly reduced the electrical resistance in half-cells. By combining MXenes and MnFe2O4, this approach unlocks their full potential for improved lithium-ion storage applications.
