| Abstract Scope |
MXenes are promising 2D nanomaterials, but their restacking in 3D structures limits their performance. To overcome this, we developed a novel MXene-infiltrated porous silica (MX-PS) composite using freeze casting to create a porous silica backbone, which was then infiltrated with MXene dispersion to form a 3D conductive network. This process yielded MX-PS composites with electrical conductivity up to 340 S/m. When used as supercapacitor electrodes, these MX-PS composites showed exceptional areal capacitance (7.24 F/cm²) and energy density (0.32 mWh/cm²), achieving these results with only a 6% increase in mass from the MXene. Our findings demonstrate that integrating 2D nanomaterials into 3D porous architectures can significantly enhance or unlock new material properties. |
