Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), emerging as a novel power source, boast benefits like enhanced security, affordability, and eco-friendliness. The real-world use of ZIBs faces obstacles because of the narrow electrochemical stability range, the disintegration of active electrode substances, and inadequate growth and lifespan of zinc dendrites. Owing to their unique structural characteristics as well as physical and chemical properties, including excellent electrical conductivity, adjustable interlayer spaces, low-energy barriers, rich-surface functional groups (e.g., OH, O, Cl, and F), and ample chemical compositions, MXenes-based materials can solve the above-mentioned problems of ZIBs. The paper examines the latest advancements in research on MXenes-based substances (zero dimension, one dimension, two dimension, and three dimension) in ZIBs applications, including MXene-based materials anodes, cathodes, electrolyte, separator and current collectors. Furthermore, an in-depth exploration of the structural design and reaction processes of MXene-based substances in ZIBs is conducted. Lastly, a concise discussion is presented on the current difficulties and viewpoints regarding MXene-based substances for ZIBs.
