SYNTHESIS OF MXENE AND ITS APPLICATION AS ELECTRODE MATERIAL FOR SUPERCAPACITORS

The article is dedicated to the study of MXene synthesis processes and their application as electrodes for supercapacitors. MXenes are two-dimensional nanomaterials with unique electrochemical properties, such as high conductivity and large surface area. The structure and physicochemical properties of the synthesized MXenes were investigated using analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and spectroscopy. The electrochemical activity of MXenes was studied in the context of their application in supercapacitors. The charge/discharge parameters, cyclic stability, and energy density of supercapacitors with MXene electrodes were examined. The results confirm the potential of MXenes as effective electrodes for supercapacitors. The obtained data indicate the rapid charge/discharge rates of MXene electrodes, making them promising candidates for use in energy-dense applications. This work contributes to a better understanding of the processes involved in MXene synthesis and their electrochemical characteristics, opening new horizons for the development of advanced supercapacitors with enhanced performance and longevity.
