Abstract
A new fluorine-free tantalum carbide MXene-tantalum oxides (TTO) nanostructure was developed as a biocompatible electrode material for size-sensitive applications. The TTO hybrid structure is biocompatible with different types of human cells, and offers excellent volumetric capacitance, energy density, power density, and cyclability when assembled into a symmetric supercapacitor. The TTO offers high promise for future biomedical energy storage devices.
Claims18
A method for synthesizing a two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes)-metal oxide hybrid structure material comprising:
- (a) providing a quantity of a MAX phase powder, where “M” represents an early transition metal, “A” represents an A group element and “X” represents carbon or nitrogen;
- (b) chlorinating the MAX phase powder, thereby solubilizing the A group element and forming a chlorinated MX powder;
- (c) etching the chlorinated MX powder with an oxide source, thereby forming an exfoliated nanocomposite;
- and
- (d) heating the exfoliated nanocomposite, thereby forming the MXenes-M-oxide hybrid structure material.
A MXenes-oxide hybrid structure material.
