Speech title: Functionalized Mxenes and its application in sodium-ion batteries
Abstract: MXenes, as a new type of two-dimensional material, have great potential for application in the field of sodium batteries due to their high conductivity, adjustable interlayer spacing, and surface chemical properties. However, their practical applications still face bottlenecks such as rapid capacity decay, severe interlayer stacking, insufficient chemical stability, and difficulties in large-scale preparation. This presentation includes exploring these key issues and providing solutions.
