MXenes are a family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbonitrides with a general formula of Mn+1XnTx, where M is an early transition metal, n=1−4, X is carbon and/or nitrogen, and Txrefers to surface termination such as ═O, —OH, —Cl, —F, etc. MXenes offer a combination of tunable metallicity and hydrophilicity coupled with attractive redox properties that gave rise fast energy storage, electrocatalysis, and biomedical and electromagnetic shielding.

The Cu-ion MXene808and the Al-ion MXene810has been known in the art to be synthesized by Ghidiu Method: “Ion-Exchange and Cation Solvation Reactions in Ti3C2 MXene. Ghidiu, et al., Chem. Mater. (2016) Apr. 29, 2016, at https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b01275.

The most ordinary method for preparing MXene is etching the MAX precursor. MAX can be expressed as Mn+1AXn(n ranges from 1 to 4), where M and X are the same compositions. A is mainly from the elements of the main group 13-15, such as Si, Al, Ge, Sn, etc. The MAX phase exists as three different types of unit cells with a six-square tightly packed structure of the space group P63/mmc. The A atomic layer in the MAX phase is sandwiched between the densely packed M layers, and the octahedral position is occupied by the X atom. In accordance with the crystal structure of MAX, Mn+1AXnis also recognized with a layered structure, in which the two-dimensional Mn+1Xnlayer is connected by the A layer. M-A is a metal bond, while M-X has both covalent and ionic bond properties, which are more stable than the M-A bond. This feature makes it possible to remove the A atoms from the MAX phase to obtain MXene.

As known in the field of art, MXene, a new series of 2D materials composed of early transition metal carbides and/or carbonitrides was first introduced by Yuri Gagotski group in 2011 and has since been growing rapidly. MXenes are a family of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbonitrides with a general formula of Mn+1XnTx, where M is an early transition metal, n=1−4, X is carbon and/or nitrogen, and T, refers to surface termination such as ═O, —OH, —Cl, —F, etc. MXenes offer a combination of tunable metallicity and hydrophilicity, coupled with redox properties that gave rise to applications, including fast energy storage, electrocatalysis, and biomedical and electromagnetic shielding. MXenes are known for their excellent pseudocapacitive energy storage properties that stem from the combination of large surface-to-volume ratio and high electrical conductivity.

MXenes, as a new category of graphene-like two-dimensional transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, has attracted interdisciplinary attention since the pioneeringTi.sub.3C.sub.2 work by Naguib et al. Benefittingfrom the fascinating properties of high electrical and metallic conductivity (6,0008,000 S·Math·cm·sup·−1), large surface area, hydrophilic nature, superb carrier anisotropic mobility, and tunable band structure. M·sub·n+1X·sub·nT·sub·x (where M is an early transition metal, X is carbon and/or nitrogen, T.sub.x refers to the surface functional groups (e.g., O, OH, and/or F) and n=1, 2, or 3) and its composite have been used in a variety of applications, including electrochemical energy storage in supercapacitors and batteries, photothermal conversion, membrane separation, and catalysis.

Electronic and electrochemical properties of MXenes can be tailored by changing its chemistry from the type of transition metals within the MX layer to modification of the surface terminations. Further, since MXenes are layered and have negatively charged surfaces, they can be electro-chemically intercalated by various cations and polar molecules such as monovalent (Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+), multivalent (Mg2+, Al3+, Sn4+), and organic cations (alkylammonium (TBA) offering an additional tuning knob to alter their physicochemical properties. It has been shown in the field of MXenes, Copper (Cu) intercalation into Ti3C2Txchanges its electronic and electrochemical properties. In the prior art, it is known, as shown inFIGS.14A-14B, Cu-intercalated Ti3C2TxMXene can be synthesized following the Ghidiu et al. method, published inTuning MXene Properties through Cu Intercalation: Coupled Guest/Host Redox and Pseudocapacitance, Shianlin Wee, et al.,ACS Nano2024, 18, 14, 10124-10132 Publication Date:Mar. 21, 2024. It is demonstrated producing average Cu content is 0.23±0.007 per Ti3C2Txformula unit wherein the Cu ions successfully intercalate within the Ti3C2Txstructure.

A leakage current is current that flows from an AC or DC circuit to the ground or another conductor. If the equipment or device is not grounded correctly, it is possible for current to flow through the human body. This is why it is vital to regulate and control leakage current for the electrical power supply824. Safety standards help to reduce risks and keep patients and healthcare providers and support staff safe. Current that flows from either a DC or AC circuit to the ground, a chassis or any other conductive component in the absence of a grounding system is considered leakage current. Leakage current from the input or output cannot be avoided, but it must be controlled.
