Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid electrodes combining complementary charge-storage mechanisms represent a promising approach for advanced supercapacitors. In this work, few-layer β-borophene nanosheets were synthesised via a modified Hummers' method and integrated with Ti2NbC2Tx MXene to form 2D/2D hybrid electrodes. Structural characterization confirmed successful borophene exfoliation, MXene–borophene heterostructure formation with locally ordered domains and enhanced ion accessibility. Electrochemical measurements demonstrated that hybrid electrodes significantly outperformed pristine MXene and borophene. The MX-B10 composition exhibited the highest specific capacitance, superior rate capability, and optimal charge-transfer kinetics attributed to synergistic surface-controlled capacitance from borophene and diffusion-assisted ion transport in MXene. A symmetric solid-state supercapacitor (SSSC) assembled with MX-B10 electrodes achieved 54 Wh kg−1 at ~300 W kg−1, retaining 23.2 Wh kg−1 at ~7.6 kW kg−1 with ~97% capacitance retention after extended cycling, These results highlight the potential of borophene–MXene heterostructures for high-performance energy storage applications.

The increasing demand for advanced materials in energy storage underscores the importance of chemical diversity in nanomaterials. Ordered double transition metal (DTM) MXenes have emerged as promising atomically layered 2D materials. This study investigates the flexible Ti2NbC2Tx MXene, synthesized from the ordered Ti2NbAlC2 MAX phase, as a supercapacitor electrode material. Electrochemical analyses revealed specific capacitances of 322 and 642 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 in Na2SO4 (Na) and H2SO4 (H) electrolytes, respectively. Ti2NbC2Tx MXene exhibited exceptional cycling stability, retaining 95% capacitance in Na2SO4 and 100% in H2SO4 after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was fabricated using Ti2NbC2Tx MXene as the positive electrode and overcapacitive activated carbon as the negative electrode with PVA-Na and PVA-H gel electrolytes. The ASC achieved energy densities of 31.1 and 34.0 W h kg-1 for PVA-Na and PVA-H electrolytes, respectively. These results highlight the potential of Ti2NbC2Tx MXene, with its unique ordered structure and double transition metal composition, for foundational research and applications in advanced energy storage technologies.

In this work, we report a self-powered quasi-solid-state photodetector (PD) device prepared from flexible two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposites of a zinc oxide nanowire (ZnO-NW) in various weight percents (5, 10, 30, 50%) and Ti3C2Tx (MXene) paper, constructed with manganese (Mn)-doped zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) using an ionic gel electrolyte and carbon paper. All PD performance tests revealed that 5% ZnO-MXene-based devices were superior to the other samples. The maximum detectivity of 1.44 × 1013 Jones at 367 nm (0.1 mW cm-2) and zero bias was calculated for the 5% ZnO-MXene-based device. Additionally, a very high on/off ratio of nearly 106, which is approximately 35-fold higher than that of the 50% ZnO-MXene-based PDs, was achieved for 5% ZnO-MXene PD at a zero bias under 367 nm (2.52 mW cm-2) illumination. The rise time for this device was 9.25 ms. Furthermore, the PD device exhibited excellent stability by enduring 1000 s of light on/off cycles. As a result, a simple, compact, and cost-effective self-powered ZnO-NW:MXene-based PD configuration showed fast photoresponse and excellent detecting performance.

Tuzluca Yesilbag, Fatma Nur; Huseyin, Ahmad
In this study, CuO nanowires were grown on copper foam (Cufoam) and copper foil (Cufoil) substrate with a cost-effective anodization method as core, and then MnCo2O4 nanowires were grown by hydrothermal synthesis method and three-dimensional (3D) core-shell nanowire arrays (NWAs) were obtained. The synthesized CuO NWAs, which provide a high surface area, contribute to the capacitance with the faradaic redox reaction and act as a current collector for the MnCo2O4 NWAs. Therefore, the 3D electrode design can increase the redox reaction, shorten the ions diffusion pathway, and exhibit low intrinsic resistance. The areal capacitance values of Cufoil/CuO, Cufoam/CuO, and Cufoam/CuO@MnCo2O4 electrodes were obtained at a current density of 0.5 mA cm−2 as 0.21, 1.02, and 2.82 F cm−2, respectively. The Cufoam/CuO@MnCo2O4 NWAs electrode exhibits excellent cycling stability of 97.3 % retention after 5000 cycles. In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device was assembled by using the Cufoam/CuO@MnCo2O4 electrode and active carbon (AC) as the positive and negative electrodes, respectively. The ASC device operates in a potential range of 0–1.5 V and an energy density of up to 7.1 × 10−2 mWh cm−2 at a power density of 1.56 mW cm−2. This work may contribute to developing low-cost materials for energy storage devices.

3D structures obtained using 1D and 2D materials are promising materials in energy storage. Optimizing the interlayer spacing of 2D MXene through flexible conductive materials is an important step in synthesizing 3D composite electrodes. In this study, flexible and conductive MXene/BCN nanotube composite film electrodes were prepared by vacuum filtration using BCN nanotubes in different weight ratios (10 %, 20 %, and 30 %) in mixed and sandwiched structures. The mixed MXene/BCN10 (m-MX/BCN10) composite film electrode structure attained a specific capacitance of 678 F g−1, the highest of all tested electrodes, and exhibited remarkable cycle stability by retaining 95 % of its capacitance even after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. In the symmetric supercapacitor (SSC), the cell exhibited a specific capacitance of 97 % after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. Moreover, SSC showed an energy density of 32 Wh kg−1 and a power density of 11.5 kW kg−1. The composite electrodes made of 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene and 1D BCN nanotube materials open up a new avenue for synthesizing promising materials for energy storage in transition metal carbides and 1D nanotubes or nanowires.

In the present study, nitrogen-doped vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (N-VACNTs) were synthesized on carbon cloth (CC) using the floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) method, and MnO2 nanosheets were grown on them using the hydrothermal method to produce an N-VACNT@MnO2 nanocomposite structure.

In addition, after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 10 A g−1, the N-VACNT electrode retained 99 % of its initial specific capacitance, while the N-VACNT@MnO2 electrode exhibited outstanding cyclic stability with 76 % of its initial specific capacitance. Moreover, in the as-fabricated asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using N-VACNTs and N-VACNTs@MnO2, the negative and positive electrodes achieved a stable voltage window of 0–1.7 V, with a specific capacitance of 59.4 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. Additionally, this ASC showed good cycling stability retaining 84 % of its specific capacitance at the end of 10,000 cycles.

We reported a combination of the unique properties of (2D) graphene and (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by synthesizing a novel graphene/CNTs hybrid structure. Graphene and CNTs were synthesized by a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. In the first step, multilayer graphene (MLG) was grown on nickel substrates by changing the methane gas flow rate and growth time. In the second step, the CNTs were then grown on the synthesized MLG surface previously. Both the Ni catalyst film thickness and H2 gas flow rate were changed to investigate their effects on the growth densities and average diameters of the hybrid structures. Structural and morphological analysis of both MLG and MLG/CNT hybrid structures were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman analysis. As the Ni catalyst film thickness was increased, CNTs grew more densely on the MLG. It was observed that CNTs with smaller diameters and longer lengths formed with increasing H2 gas flow rate. This hybrid structure is useful in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage applications.
