ZnO and MXenes as electrode materials for supercapacitor devices

Supercapacitor devices are interesting owing to their broad range of applicability from wearable electronics energy storage in electric vehicles. One the key parameters that affect efficiency supercapacitor is selecting ideal electrode material for a specific application. Regarding this, recently developed metal oxides, specifically nanostructured ZnO, and MXenes with defect structures, size effects, as well optical electronic properties have been presented devices. The discussion along although different chemistry, also highlights differences dimensionality when it comes defect-driven especially carrier transport. volume under influence centers expected be bulk 2D regardless composition. Hence, analysis both materials provide fundamental understanding regarding manner which structures impacted by defects compared bulk. Such an approach would therefore serve scientific community design tools needed fabricate next generation
