Title: Vanadium and Niobium MXenes—Bilayered V 2 O 5 Asymmetric Supercapacitors

Abstract

Abstract MXenes offer high metallic conductivity and redox capacitance that are attractive for high‐power, high‐energy storage devices. However, they operate limitedly under high anodic potentials due to irreversible oxidation. Pairing them with oxides to design asymmetric supercapacitors may expand the voltage window and increase the energy storage capabilities. Hydrated lithium preintercalated bilayered V 2 O 5 ( δ ‐Li x V 2 O 5 · n H 2 O) is attractive for aqueous energy storage due to its high Li capacity at high potentials; however, its poor cyclability remains a challenge. To overcome its limitations and achieve a wide voltage window and excellent cyclability, it is combined with V 2 C and Nb 4 C 3 MXenes. Asymmetric supercapacitors employing lithium intercalated V 2 C (Li‐V 2 C) or tetramethylammonium intercalated Nb 4 C 3 (TMA‐Nb 4 C 3 ) MXenes as the negative electrode, and a δ ‐Li x V 2 O 5 · n H 2 O composite with carbon nanotubes as the positive electrode in 5  m LiCl electrolyte operate over wide voltage windows of 2 and 1.6 V, respectively. The latter shows remarkably high cyclability—capacitance retention of ≈95% after 10 000 cycles. This work highlights the importance ofmore » selecting appropriate MXenes to achieve a wide voltage window and a long cycle life in combination with oxide anodes to demonstrate the potential of MXenes beyond Ti 3 C 2 in energy storage.« less
