Elucidating The Synergy Of Mxene And Metal-Organic Framework Composite For Superior Electrochemical Energy Storage Applications

Abstract

The rapid growth of next-generation electrochemical energy storage technologies has intensified interest in advanced electrode materials that combine high conductivity, tunable porosity, and structural stability. Among emerging candidates, MXenes (Ti3C2Tx) and metal–organic frame works (MOFs) have shown unique advantages, yet their integration remains underexplored. This review systematically analyzes the synergy between MXene and MIL-53 frameworks, with emphasis on how surface terminations, interlayer spacing, and MOF “breathing” effects govern charge storage mechanisms, cycling stability, and ion transport. It consolidates synthesis strate gies, interfacial engineering approaches, and recent advances in MXene/MOF composites for supercapacitors and ion-batteries, while linking process–structure–property relationships to performance evaluation. Unresolved challenges such as oxidation stability, aggregation, and limited mechanistic insights are highlighted to guide future research. By bridging material
