Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of MWCNT-Assisted Molybdenum–Titanium Carbide MXene as a Potential Electrode Material for Energy Storage Application
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXenes have attracted considerable attention
owing to their enormous potential for structural flexibility. Here, we prepared a Mo2TiC2T x-
layered structure from parent Mo2TiAlC2T x MAX by chemically selective etching of the
aluminum layer. The prepared MXene was employed in composite formation with CTAB-
grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to have a structure with improved
electrochemical performance. The samples were characterized to analyze the structure …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXenes have attracted considerable attention owing to their enormous potential for structural flexibility. Here, we prepared a Mo2TiC2Tx-layered structure from parent Mo2TiAlC2Tx MAX by chemically selective etching of the aluminum layer. The prepared MXene was employed in composite formation with CTAB-grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to have a structure with improved electrochemical performance. The samples were characterized to analyze the structure, morphology, elemental detection, vibrational modes, and surface chemistry, followed by an electrochemical performance of the Mo2TiC2Tx MXene and MWCNTs@Mo2TiC2Tx composite using the GAMRAY Potentiostat under a 1 M KOH electrolyte. The specific capacitance of pristine Mo2TiC2Tx was 425 F g–1, which was enhanced to 1740 F g–1 (almost 4 times) at 5 mV s–1 due to the increase in active surface area and conductive paths between the MXene sheets. The charge storage mechanism was studied by further resolving the cyclic voltammograms. MWCNTs@Mo2TiC2Tx showed much improved electrochemical performance and reaction kinetics, making it an ideal material candidate for supercapacitor applications.
