2D материалы семейства MXene привлекают к себе значительный интерес в связи с их многофункциональностью использования. Материалы MXene получают из соответствующих MAX фаз, синтез которых проводится различными высокотемпературными методами (от 1100 до 1450 ºС). Ti2AlC является одним из представителей MAX фаз, из которой получается соответствующий 2D материал - Ti2C. Наиболее распространенное применение Ti2C находит как активный материал электрода суперконденсаторов и как матрица для катализаторов реакций выделения водорода.

В данной работе мы проводим исследование по синтезу материала Ti2AlC с проведением многоуровневой оптимизации процесса для достижения наибольшего выхода по массе конечного продукта. По результатам исследования установлена оптимальная температура и время синтеза 1350 °C и 2 часа соответственно. Одной из особенностей данной работы является использование прекурсоров казахстанского происхождения и проведение экспериментов с масштабированием процесса (от 1 до 100 г продукта), что в дальнейшем позволит реализовать коммерческий синтез материала Ti2AlC. Из синтезированного при оптимальных условиях Ti2AlC был успешно получен Ti2C, который был использован в качестве электродного материала для суперконденсатора и показал электрохимические характеристики сравнимые с коммерческим Ti2C.

2D materials of the MXene family have attracted significant interest due to their multifunctional applications. MXene materials are derived from corresponding MAX phases, which are synthesized using various high-temperature methods (ranging from 1100 to 1450 ℃). Ti2AlC is one of the representatives of MAX phases, from which the corresponding 2D material, Ti2C, is obtained. The most common applications of Ti2C include its use as an active electrode material for supercapacitors and as a matrix for hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts. In this work, we conduct a study on the synthesis of Ti2AlC material, with multi-level optimization of the process to achieve the highest yield of the final product by mass. Based on the results of the study, the optimal synthesis temperature and time were determined to be 1350 ℃ and 2 hours, respectively. One of the distinctive features of this work is the use of precursors of Kazakhstan origin and the scaling up of the process (from 1 to 100 g of product), which will enable the commercial synthesis of Ti2AlC material in the future. From the Ti2AlC synthesized under optimal conditions, Ti2C was successfully obtained and used as an electrode material for a supercapacitor, demonstrating electrochemical performance comparable to that of commercial Ti2C.
