Abstract

MXenes are promising two-dimensional materials for energy storage applications, but the stacking and aggregation of MXene nanosheets degrade their electrochemical performance. In this work, three-dimensional (3D) porous Ti3C2Tx was successfully prepared on carbon cloth with controllable mass loading, porosity, and pore size with an electrophoretic co-deposition (EPCD) strategy by introducing polystyrene (PS) microspheres as soft sacrificial templates. The resulting 3D porous structure exhibits a significant enhancement in electrochemical performance due to effectively suppressing the stacking and aggregation of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, which provides additional electron transport channels and electrochemically active sites. The modified 3D porous Ti3C2Tx@CC shows a specific capacitance as high as 299 F g−1 (about 1.6 times that of pristine Ti3C2Tx) at a current density of 1 A g−1, a satisfactory capacitance of 234 F g−1 (approximately 78.3% of the initial capacitance) under a high current density of 10 A g−1, and excellent cycling stability. Furthermore, a porous Ti3C2Tx@CC-based symmetric supercapacitor displays an energy density of 6.6 µWh cm−2 (3.9 Wh kg−1) at a power density of 0.2 mW cm−2 (125 W kg−1). This work facilitates an effective EPCD strategy for producing 3D porous Ti3C2Tx for energy storage, electrocatalysis, and environmental applications.
