Abstract
MXene-based aerogel nanocomposites have significant attention as the promising supercapacitor electrode materials. This review highlights their potential by exploring the synergy between MXenes and aerogels. MXenes have good electrical conductivity and a high specific surface area due to their inherent characteristics. When combined with the high porosity and tunable pore structure of aerogels, these nanocomposites exhibit enhanced performance in supercapacitors. This review delivers the complete outline on the current advancements in MXene-based aerogel nanocomposites for supercapacitor applications. We delved into MXenes and their advantages as electrode materials. Also, explored various fabrication strategies, including hydrothermal synthesis, freeze drying, and templating methods. The discussion emphasizes the key factors influencing the aerogel morphology and pore structure, highlighting their impact on electrolyte accessibility and charge storage performance. Furthermore, the review analyzes the synergistic effects of these composite structures on critical parameters like specific capacitance, rate capability, and cycling stability. The challenges and future directions for the field are also discussed. By optimizing MXene-based aerogel nanocomposites, researchers can improve the electrochemical performance of the supercapacitors.
