Abstract

2D Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C i-MXene is highly promising for electrochemical applications. Here, a synthetic strategy is reported, enabling the uniform distribution of carbon-coated CoNi (CoNi@C) nanoparticles on the vacancy-ordered Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C i-MXene nanosheets, thereby fully exposing the active sites of CoNi@C. First, five novel Ga-containing (Mo<sub>2/3</sub>R<sub>1/3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>GaC (R = Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu) i-MAX phases are synthesized as the precursor and found to be crystallized into Cmcm structure, followed by hydrothermal etching and delamination. Subsequently, CoNi- MOF is in situ grown on derived Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C i-MXene nanosheets. By modifying the loading mass and annealing condition, CoNi-MOF is transformed into the CoNi@C and the CoNi@C/Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C displayed outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction activity with low overpotential (73 mV at 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>) and small Tafel slope (84 mV dec<sup>-1</sup>). Moreover, the gravimetric capacitance is also increased from 68 F g<sup>-1</sup> in CoNi@C to 575.1 F g<sup>-1</sup> in CoNi@C/Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C-50 at 0.5 A g<sup>-1</sup>. After ≈5000 cycles, activation is complete, and the specific capacitance reaches its maximum value. Additionally, the specific capacitance remains stable at 95% after additional 10 000 cycles. This work improves the catalytic and supercapacitor performance of composite nanomaterials by optimizing the distribution of active sites on Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C i-MXene, and also extends the application of Mo<sub>1.33</sub>C i-MXene.
