Site-Selective Yttrium Substitution in Ti3AlC2 Enables Interlayer Engineering and Li Transport in Ti3C2Tx cathodes for High-Power Energy Storage
In this work, we introduce a precursor-level strategy by substitutionally doping the Ti3AlC2 MAX precursor with a small amount of Yttrium during top-down MAX preparation. This allows permanent structural changes that are retained in the resulting Ti3C2Tx MXene. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identify the...
