Research progress of functional MXene in inhibiting lithium/zinc metal battery dendrites

Abstract

The layered two-dimensional (2D) MXene has great promise for applications in supercapacitors, batteries, and electrocatalysis due to its large layer spacing, excellent electrical conductivity, good chemical stability, good hydrophilicity, and adjustable layer spacing. Since its discovery in 2011, MXene has been widely used to inhibit the growth of anode dendrites of lithium metal. In the past two years, researchers have used MXene and MXene based materials in the anodes of zinc metal batteries and zinc ion hybrid capacitors, respectively, and made a series of important progressive steps in the inhibition of zinc dendrite growth. In this review, we summarize the research progress of functional MXenes in inhibiting the growth of lithium and zinc metal anode dendrites, and provide a brief overview and outlook on the current challenges of MXene materials, which will help researchers to further understand the methods and their mechanisms, thus to develop novel electrochemical energy storage systems to meet the needs of rapidly developing electric vehicles and wearable/portable electronics.
