New Method for the Synthesis of 2D Vanadium Nitride (MXene) and Its Application as a Supercapacitor Electrode.

ABSTRACT: MXenes are the class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides that exhibit unique properties and are used in a multitude of applications such as biosensors, water purification, electromagnetic interference shielding, electrocatalysis, supercapacitors, and so forth. Carbide-based MXenes are being widely explored, whereas investigations on nitride-based ones are seldom. Among the nitride-based MXenes obtained from their MAX phases, only Ti₄N₃ and Ti₂N are reported so far. Herein, we report a novel synthesis of V₂NT _x (T _x is the surface termination) obtained by the selective removal of "Al" from V₂AlN by immersing powders of V₂AlN in the LiF-HCl mixture (salt-acid etching) f
