Abstract

Development of advanced electrochemical energy storage devices is crucial to foster a sustainable power grid. At present, lithium-ion batteries do not have satisfactory performance for large-scale applications, and one of major challenges is to find electrode materials with better specific capacity, operating potential, rate capability, and cycle stability. MXenes have attracted attention as the potential electrode materials of various batteries such as lithium-ion, sodium-ion, potassium-ion, or magnesium-ion batteries. In this chapter, after describing the electrochemical properties of MXenes, we will summarize recent progress in their applications to batteries.
