Atomic-scale understanding of the Na and Cl trapping on the Mo_1.33C(OH)₂-MXene.

ABSTRACT: Drinking water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions is a reality that may turn into a global healthcare problem in the next few years. The scientific community is always looking for new materials to achieve effective sea and brackish water desalination to reduce water scarcity. Commonly, theoretical, and experimental methods make a synergy to better understand and explain the chemical and physical processes in water desalination electrodes. In this way, experimental evidence pointed Mo_1.33CT_x MXene as an efficient ion intercalation material, in which both Na⁺ and Cl^- are removed. However, the atomic scale understanding of the physicochemical processes due to the Na and Cl interaction with the MXene is still unknown. We report the Na⁰
