Synergy of a 2D/2D Ti <sub>3</sub> C <sub>2</sub> T <sub> <i>x</i> </sub> MXene–graphene oxide heterostructure for enhanced hydrogen storage
The demand for hydrogen storage materials for fuel cell devices is growing rapidly worldwide, driven by a combination of environmental, economic, and technological factors. 2D MXenes and graphene are crucial for developing efficient and safe hydrogen storage systems. The incorporation of GO into Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene enhanced its hydrogen storage capacity by ∼57% at 303 K, ∼46% at 273 K, ∼10% at 253 K, and ∼8% at 173 K. This improved performance of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene is due to the increased surface area, synergistic interactions, and defect-induced adsorption sites in the Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub>-GO composite. Therefore, this study highlights the promise of MXene-GO hybrids for efficient hydrogen storage applications.
