This invention belongs to the field of
new energy storage technology and discloses a method for preparing and applying anionic medium-entropy MXene
electrode material. The
chemical formula of the anionic medium-entropy MXene material is M. n+ 1X n T x The X site contains four anions: carbon,
nitrogen,
oxygen, and
fluorine, forming a medium-entropy composition. The preparation method includes: mixing TiC, Ti, Al,
TiN, Al2O3, and AlF3 in a specific
molar ratio, and
sintering at high temperature under an
inert atmosphere to obtain the anionic medium-entropy MAX phase; then removing the Al layer by
etching, followed by intercalation, ultrasonic exfoliation, and
drying to obtain few-layer anionic medium-entropy MXene nanosheets. This invention achieves a medium-entropy effect by having multiple anions co-occupy the X site, and for the first time, by introducing highly electronegative
fluorine (F) anions to co-occupy the X site with carbon,
nitrogen, and
oxygen, thus significantly regulating the interlayer dynamic
hydrogen bond network and
redox activity. In particular, the strong
electron-withdrawing ability of F and its unique interaction with
hydrogen bonds effectively suppress side reactions and stabilize the interlayer structure, resulting in high volumetric capacity, excellent rate performance, and long-term
cycling stability.
