Abstract
In this study, the electrochemical energy storage properties of Ti3C2Tx MXene films have been improved by the addition of W1.33CTz MXenes with ordered vacancies in their structure. W1.33CTz i-MXene was obtained from (W2/3Y1/3)2AlC i-MAX phase by etching in HCl/LiF mixture under hydrothermal conditions with following delamination by intercalation of tetramethylammonium ions. Ti3C2Tx/W1.33CTz composite electrode films were prepared from colloidal solutions, which were mixed in the appropriate ratio to achieve the W1.33CTz concentrations of 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt.%. MXenes were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS methods. The electrochemical energy storage properties of binder-free MXene films were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. It has been shown that the addition of 20 wt.% W1.33CTz can significantly improve the pseudocapacitive intercalation of electrolyte ions. The specific capacitance of Ti3C2Tx/W1.33CTz (20 wt.%) electrodes in H2SO4, LiCl and KOH electrolytes was 375, 171 and 235 F•g-1, respectively, at a scan rate of 5 mV•s-1. The composite electrode showed good cycling stability (more than 93% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles). The results obtained indicated that the synthesised composite could be considered as a promising electrode material for energy storage systems.
