Abstract
V4/3Zr2/3AlC, as the only V-based i-MAX phase reported up to now, cannot be delaminated using the conventional aqueous etching strategy. In the present work, by alloying W, the structure evolves from the C2/c monoclinic one in V4/3Zr2/3AlC to the nanoscale co-existence of C2/c monoclinic and Cmcm orthorhombic ones in (V0.2W0.8)4/3Zr2/3AlC i-MAX with the maximum W content. Especially, at the intermediate composition of (V0.6W0.4)4/3Zr2/3AlC, the long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) structure is first observed. Feasible delamination has been realized and the resultant Zr-free (V1−xWx)1.33C i-MXene can be obtained for x ≥ 0.6, suggesting that W-alloying is contributive to the delamination. A specific capacitance of 336.1 F g−1 at the current density of 0.5 A g−1 can be obtained in the (V0.4W0.6)1.33C i-MXene under the extended voltage window of 1 V and highly stable performance for 10 000 charge/discharge cycles by compositing with the shell-structured activated porous carbon. Besides, biological experiments have verified that (V0.4W0.6)1.33C i-MXene significantly inhibits the growth, proliferation, and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing apoptosis, and regulates metabolism and immune response, possessing substantial targeted antitumor potential.
