Abstract

The creation of vacancies and/or pores into two-dimensional materials, like graphene and MXenes, has shown to increase their performance for sustainable applications. However, a simple and affordable method with controlled and tailorable vacancy concentration and/or pores size remains challenging. Herein, a simple and reproducible method is presented for controlled synthesis of Mo1.74CTz MXene with randomly distributed vacancies and pores, obtained from selective etching of both Ga and Cr in the Cr-alloyed MAX-phase like precursor Mo1.74Cr0.26Ga2C. Structural and compositional analysis of the 3D alloy show ≈13% Cr on the metal site, homogeneously distributed between different particles and within the atomic structure. After etching, it translates to Mo1.74CTz MXene, exhibiting defect-rich sheets. Notably, the incorporation of Cr facilitates a shorter etching time with an improved yield compared to Mo2CTz. The Mo1.74CTz MXene displays excellent electrochemical properties, almost doubling the capacitance values (1152 F cm−3 and 297 F g−1 at 2 mV s−1 scan rate), compared to its pristine counterpart Mo2CTz. The presented method and obtained results suggest defect engineering of MXenes through precursor alloying as a pathway that can be generalized to other phases, to further improve their properties for various applications.

缺陷工程:二维 Mo1.74CTz MXene 的合成与电化学特性
在二维材料(如石墨烯和 MXenes)中制造空位和/或孔隙已被证明可提高其可持续应用的性能。然而,一种简单、经济、可控、可定制空位浓度和/或孔隙大小的方法仍然具有挑战性。本文介绍了一种简单且可重复的方法,用于控制合成具有随机分布空位和孔隙的 Mo1.74CTz MXene,该方法是通过选择性蚀刻铬合金 MAX 相类似前驱体 Mo1.74Cr0.26Ga2C 中的镓和铬而获得的。三维合金的结构和成分分析表明,金属位上的铬含量≈13%,均匀地分布在不同颗粒之间和原子结构内部。蚀刻后,它转化为 Mo1.74CTz MXene,呈现出缺陷丰富的薄片。值得注意的是,与 Mo2CTz 相比,铬的加入有助于缩短蚀刻时间,提高成品率。与原始的 Mo2CTz 相比,Mo1.74CTz MXene 显示出优异的电化学特性,电容值几乎翻了一番(2 mV s-1 扫描速率下分别为 1152 F cm-3 和 297 F g-1)。所介绍的方法和获得的结果表明,通过前驱体合金化实现 MXenes 的缺陷工程是一种可以推广到其他相的途径,从而进一步提高它们在各种应用中的性能。
