Pioneering Tubular MXenes for Supercapacitor Energy Storage
Annotation in Czech
TUBESTOR designs, synthesizes, and tests tubular MXenes as electrode materials for next-generation supercapacitors (SCs). Using carbon fibres as both carbon source and structural template, tubular MAX phases are synthesized via solid-state reactions, enabling the formation of MXenes with an unprecedented tube-like morphology. These structures offer enhanced ion-accessible surface area and improved electrochemical activity. Etching is performed using chloride Lewis acids, enabling fluorine-free synthesis and Cl-rich terminations to enhance performance and stability. The project explores beyond Ti3C2Tx MXene, including Mo-, Nb-, and V-based systems. Electrochemical testing considers various electrolytes and device configurations, benchmarking against conventional MXenes and commercial SCs, focusing on comprehensive synthesis-structure–property relationships. TUBESTOR delivers key advances in synthesizing MXenes and their precursors, MAX phases, and sustainable energy storage materials, aligned with the European Green Deal and strengthening Czech excellence in 2D materials.
