Abstract

titanium carbide 2D material hybrid Mg2+/Li+ battery energy storage MXene
As an alternative to pure lithium-ion, Li , systems, a hybrid magnesium, Mg , and Li battery can potentially combine the high capacity, high voltage, and fast Li intercalation of Li-ion battery cathodes and the high capacity, low cost, and dendrite-free Mg metal anodes. Herein, we report on the use of two-dimensional titanium carbide, Ti C T (MXene), as a cathode in hybrid Mg /Li batteries, coupled with a Mg metal anode. Free-standing and flexible Ti C T /carbon nanotube composite "paper" delivered ∼100 mAh g at 0.1 C and ∼50 mAh g at 10 C. At 1 C the capacity was maintained for >500 cycles at 80 mAh g . The Mo CT MXene also demonstrated good performance as a cathode material in this hybrid battery. Considering the variety of available MXenes, this work opens the door for exploring a new large family of 2D materials with high electrical conductivity and large intercalation capacity as cathodes for hybrid Mg /Li batteries.
