Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes are promising as electrode materials for energy storage, owing to their high electronic conductivity and low diffusion barrier. Unfortunately, similar most 2D materials, MXene nanosheets easily restack during the preparation, which degrades electrochemical performance of MXene-based materials.
