Enhanced Electrochemical Properties of d-Ti3C2Tx Anode by h-BN Addition for Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery

For lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density, it is critical to develop reliable and high-capacity anode materials. In this work, d-Ti 3 C 2 T x /h-BN hybrid layered nanocomposites with uniform distribution are synthesized using a simple liquid phase blending method and investigated as an anode material for LIBs. The results reveal that the uniformly dispersed h-BN anchored on the d-Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets can effectively prevent the d-Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets from restacking during charging and discharging processes, as well as improve the electronic conductivity. The studies show that the electrochemical performance, such as the capacity and cyclic stability, of d-Ti 3 C 2 T x /h-BN electrode is better than that of pure d-Ti 3 C 2 T x materials.
