Abstract

Abstract : Advanced electrodes with good rate capability and cycling stability are key components in energy storage devices for future electric vehicles, portable electronics, and smart grids. As a new family of 2D materials, MXenes have attracted much attention for use as electrode materials due to their good electrical conductivity and excellent electrochemical properties. In their minireview on page 1921, B. Luo, L. Wang et al. present an overview of recent progress on the interlayer space engineering of MXenes by different chemical strategies, such as intercalation, surface modification and heterostructures design. The interlayer space engineering provides extra room to further enhance their electrochemical properties, especially high redox activity and rate capability for energy storage.
