Zusammenfassung: | © 2022 The Authors. Advanced Materials published by Wiley-VCH GmbH. 2D transition metal carbides and/or nitrides, so-called MXenes, are noted as ideal fast-charging cation-intercalation electrode materials, which nevertheless suffer from limited specific capacities. Herein, it is reported that constructing redox-active phosphorus-oxygen terminals can be an attractive strategy for Nb4 C3 MXenes to remarkably boost their specific capacities for ultrafast Na+ storage. As revealed, redox-active terminals with a stoichiometric formula of PO2 - display a metaphosphate-like configuration with each P atom sustaining three PO bonds and one PO dangling bond. Compared with conventional O-terminals, metaphosphate-like terminals empower Nb4 C3 (denoted PO2 -Nb4 C3 ) with considerably enriched carrier density (fourfold), improved conductivity (12.3-fold at 300 K), additional redox-active sites, boosted Nb redox depth, nondeclined Na+ -diffusion capability, and buffered internal stress during Na+ intercalation/de-intercalation. Consequently, compared with O-terminated Nb4 C3 , PO2 -Nb4 C3 exhibits a doubled Na+ -storage capacity (221.0 mAh g-1 ), well-retained fast-charging capability (4.9 min at 80% capacity retention), significantly promoted cycle life (nondegraded capacity over 2000 cycles), and justified feasibility for assembling energy-power-balanced Na-ion capacitors. This study unveils that the molecular-level design of MXene terminals provides opportunities for developing simultaneously high-capacity and fast-charging electrodes, alleviating the energy-power tradeoff typical for energy-storage devices |
