High‐Performance Flexible and Symmetric Supercapacitors Based on Micro‐Flower‐Like MnSe@Ti <sub>3</sub> C <sub>2</sub> T <sub>x</sub> Heterostructure

Flexible supercapacitors, renowned for their exceptional power density and cycling stability, are a focus in the field of energy storage. Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors owing to its excellent metallic conductivity. However, its stacking layered structure limits device performance on specific capacitance, operating voltage, and energy density. Herein, a MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> heterostructure is developed to enhance the electrochemical performance of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-based electrode materials. With the solvothermal synthesis method, MnSe nanosheets are in situ grown on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> surface to form micro-flower-like MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> heterostructures by adjusting the ratio of ethanolamine solvent and the amount of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>. The specific capacitance of the optimized heterostructure (E<sub>3</sub>/MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-45) is as high as 721.4 F g<sup>-1</sup> at 1 A g<sup>-1</sup>, approximately ten times higher than that of pure Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>. The MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> flexible symmetric supercapacitor (MT-FSC) based on E<sub>3</sub>/MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-45 exhibits a wide working voltage window of 1.2 V and a large energy density of 28.68 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup> at 308.23 W kg<sup>-1</sup>. The capacitance retention rate keeps 90.77% after 4000 charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, MT-FSC can power LEDs even under large-angle (90°) bending. This heterostructure electrode material not only improves the electrochemical performance of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-based flexible supercapacitors but also offers a robust energy supply for flexible wearable electronic devices.

Abstract

Flexible supercapacitors, renowned for their exceptional power density and cycling stability, are a focus in the field of energy storage. Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors owing to its excellent metallic conductivity. However, its stacking layered structure limits device performance on specific capacitance, operating voltage, and energy density. Herein, a MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> heterostructure is developed to enhance the electrochemical performance of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-based electrode materials. With the solvothermal synthesis method, MnSe nanosheets are in situ grown on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> surface to form micro-flower-like MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> heterostructures by adjusting the ratio of ethanolamine solvent and the amount of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>. The specific capacitance of the optimized heterostructure (E<sub>3</sub>/MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-45) is as high as 721.4 F g<sup>-1</sup> at 1 A g<sup>-1</sup>, approximately ten times higher than that of pure Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>. The MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub> flexible symmetric supercapacitor (MT-FSC) based on E<sub>3</sub>/MnSe@Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-45 exhibits a wide working voltage window of 1.2 V and a large energy density of 28.68 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup> at 308.23 W kg<sup>-1</sup>. The capacitance retention rate keeps 90.77% after 4000 charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, MT-FSC can power LEDs even under large-angle (90°) bending. This heterostructure electrode material not only improves the electrochemical performance of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub>x</sub>-based flexible supercapacitors but also offers a robust energy supply for flexible wearable electronic devices.
