| Abstract Scope |
MXenes are novel two-dimensional nanomaterials with outstanding properties, but their performance is limited by restacking when organized in three-dimensional (3D) configurations. To address this issue, we developed two fabrication approaches: (i) Infiltration of MXene in porous silica (MX-PS) and (ii) 3D Printing of microscale structures of MXenes. Freeze casting method is utilized to fabricate a silica backbone with controlled porosity, followed by the infiltration of MXene dispersion to form a 3D network of thin-layer conformal coating. Through multiple infiltration cycles, a composite structure of MXene-infiltrated porous silica (MX-PS) with electrical conductivity reaching up to 340 S/m is fabricated. We then use Aerosol Jet 3D printing to create complex MXene structures and demonstrate microsupercapacitors with ultrahigh energy density. Lastly, we have developed techniques to control the manufacturing process for the MXene 3D structures. |
