In Situ Construction of Bimetallic Selenides Heterogeneous Interface on Oxidation‐Stable Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<i><sub>x</sub></i> MXene Toward Lithium Storage with Ultrafast Charge Transfer Kinetics

Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> (MXene) is widely acknowledged as an excellent substrate for constructing heterogeneous structures with transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) for boosting the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion storage. However, conventional synthesis strategies inevitably lead to poor electrochemical charge transfer due to Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-derived TiO<sub>2</sub> at the heterogeneous interface between Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> and TMCs. Here, an innovative in situ selenization strategy is proposed to replace the originally generated TiO<sub>2</sub> on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> with metallic TiSe<sub>2</sub> interphase, clearing the bottleneck of slow charge transfer barrier caused by MXene oxidation. The construction of bimetallic selenide formed by CoSe<sub>2</sub> and TiSe<sub>2</sub> generates intrinsic electric fields to guide the fast ion diffusion kinetics in a heterogeneous interface. Additionally, the CoSe<sub>2</sub>/TiSe<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> heterogeneous structure with enhanced structural stability and improved rate performance is confirmed by both experiments and theoretical calculations. The engineered heterogeneous structure exhibits an ultra-high pseudocapacitance contribution (73.1% at 0.1 mV s<sup>-1</sup>), rendering it well-suited to offset the kinetics differences between double-layer materials. The assembled lithium-ion capacitor based on CoSe<sub>2</sub>/TiSe<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> possesses a high energy density and an ultralong life span (89.5% after 10 000 times at 2 A g<sup>-1</sup>). This devised strategy provides a feasible solution for utilizing the performance advantages of MXene substrates in lithium storage with ultrafast charge transfer kinetics.

Abstract

Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> (MXene) is widely acknowledged as an excellent substrate for constructing heterogeneous structures with transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) for boosting the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion storage. However, conventional synthesis strategies inevitably lead to poor electrochemical charge transfer due to Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-derived TiO<sub>2</sub> at the heterogeneous interface between Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> and TMCs. Here, an innovative in situ selenization strategy is proposed to replace the originally generated TiO<sub>2</sub> on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> with metallic TiSe<sub>2</sub> interphase, clearing the bottleneck of slow charge transfer barrier caused by MXene oxidation. The construction of bimetallic selenide formed by CoSe<sub>2</sub> and TiSe<sub>2</sub> generates intrinsic electric fields to guide the fast ion diffusion kinetics in a heterogeneous interface. Additionally, the CoSe<sub>2</sub>/TiSe<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> heterogeneous structure with enhanced structural stability and improved rate performance is confirmed by both experiments and theoretical calculations. The engineered heterogeneous structure exhibits an ultra-high pseudocapacitance contribution (73.1% at 0.1 mV s<sup>-1</sup>), rendering it well-suited to offset the kinetics differences between double-layer materials. The assembled lithium-ion capacitor based on CoSe<sub>2</sub>/TiSe<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> possesses a high energy density and an ultralong life span (89.5% after 10 000 times at 2 A g<sup>-1</sup>). This devised strategy provides a feasible solution for utilizing the performance advantages of MXene substrates in lithium storage with ultrafast charge transfer kinetics.
