We just published an Invited article in in Small (IF = 12.1) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/smll.202505698
This work comprehensively investigates the structural, surface, and electrochemical properties of MAX phase, MXene, and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane-functionalized MXene (APTES-MXene) electrodes. The findings in the two-electrode system revealed that the APTES-MXene electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 207.62 F g−1, an energy density of 28.83 Wh kg−1, and a capacity retention of 93.8%. The increased capacity and cycle stability obtained can be attributed to the multifaceted influence of APTES on surface chemistry and ion accessibility.
I would like to thank all the authors Dr. Ahmet Güngör, Prof. Emre Erdem, and Dr. Amina Ben Ayed for their great effort.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the funding agencies FLAG-ERA and TÜBİTAK for their support.
