Abstract

Introduction

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as MXene (TiCT), have garnered extensive attention in recent years due to their exceptional performance across various domains. The flake size of TiCT notably influences its specific surface area, a pivotal factor in interfacial interactions within electrochemistry.

Methods

Presently, modifying the flake size of bulk TiCT typically involves complex and costly processes, like ultrasonic treatment and isolation. Leveraging the specific preparation principle of MXenes, which involves etching the A layers in precursor MAX phases, a top-down strategy for producing TiCT flakes of desired sizes, has been proposed in this work. In this approach, precursor TiAlC particles undergo ball-milling to adjust their size.

Results

Through this innovative strategy, dispersions of TiCT flakes with varying average lateral sizes are generated, enabling an investigation into the impact of lateral size on the electrochemical properties of TiCT flakes. By controlling the ball milling time for TiAlC powders, the resulting average sizes of TiCT (0, 2, 4) are 6.34 μm, 2.16 μm, and 0.96 μm, respectively. Particularly, the TiCT (2) electrode, composed of 2.16 μm sheets, demonstrates remarkable performance metrics. It exhibits a high areal capacitance of 845.0 mF/cm2 at a scan rate of 5 mV/s, along with a gravimetric capacitance of 244.0 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g.

Conclusion

This study presents a facile method to enable mass production of TiCT with sheets of varying sizes, addressing both small and large dimensions.
