Two new two-dimensional Nb₄C₃-based solid solutions (MXenes), (Nb_0.8,Ti_0.2)₄C₃T_x and (Nb_0.8,Zr_0.2)₄C₃T_x (where T is a surface termination) were synthesizedas confirmed by X-ray diffractionfrom their corresponding MAX phase precursors (Nb_0.8,Ti_0.2)₄AlC₃ and (Nb_0.8,Zr_0.2)₄AlC₃. In our report we discuss Zr-containing MXene. We also studied intercalation of Li ions into these two compositions, and Nb₄C₃T_x in order to determine the potential of those materials for energy storage applications. Lithiation and delithiation peaks at 2.26 and 2.35 V, respectively, appeared in the case of Nb₄C₃T_x, but were not present in Nb₂CT_x. After 20 cycles at a rate of C/4, the specific capacities of (Nb_0.8,Ti_0.2)₄C₃T_xand (Nb_0.8,Ti_0.2)₄C₃T_x were 158 and 132 mAh/g, respectively, both slightly lower than the capacity of Nb₄C₃T_x.
