Zusammenfassung:Currently, emerging battery technologies are being studied intensively. The lack of ideal electrode materials remains a key hindrance to further development of new batteries. The novel MXene material, due to its unique structural characteristics and physicochemical properties, shows the ability to enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrode. In addition to the adjustable layer spacing, because of excellent electrical conductivity, rich chemical composition, and controllable surface chemistry, MXene has the potential for use in diverse applications as an ideal electrode material in various battery systems. This review covers the recent progress achieved in research of the zinc‐ion energy storage of MXenes, including MXene‐based cathodes, MXene‐derived cathodes, MXene‐modified zinc anodes, and electrolyte additives. Moreover, further structural design and reaction mechanisms of MXenes in zinc‐ion storage are explored. MXenes, as emerging two‐dimensional (2D) materials with unique structural characteristics and physical and chemical properties, have been successfully applied in zinc‐ion energy storage to improve the electrochemical performance of the electrode. In this review, the authors summarize the recent advances of research on 2D MXenes for zinc‐ion energy storage and further discuss the structural design and reaction mechanisms of MXenes. This review provides valuable insights into the challenges in the use of MXenes in zinc‐ion energy storage and aims to study practical applications of zinc‐ion energy storage.
