High cycle-stability supercapacitors with Ti3C2Tx MXene/graphene oxide composite electrodes
Due to high conductivity and large specific surface area, 2D titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) can be used as an electrode material for supercapacitors with high energy density. However, the deactivation of Ti3C2Tx through irreversible oxidation in energy storage and the poor surface interaction between Ti3C2Tx and substrates result in poor cycle stabilities of Ti3C2Tx supercapacitors, thereby greatly hindering wide applications of energy storage materials. In this paper, Ti3C2Tx is used as an active layer and covered by a graphene oxide (GO) film. The GO film weakens the oxidation deactivation of Ti3C2Tx. Meanwhile, a heat treatment procedure of the electrode is involved to improve the surface interaction. This makes the cycling stability of the Ti3C2Tx/GO composite electrodes significantly improved, and the capacitance is higher than the initial one after 5000 cycles. The results can provide an innovative pathway for the design and preparation of high cycle-stability supercapacitors.
