A solid‐state fibriform supercapacitor boosted by host – guest hybridization between the carbon nanotube scaffold and MXene nanosheets by Yu, Chenyang, Gong, Yujiao, Chen, Ruyi, Zhang, Mingyi, Zhou, Jinyuan, An, Jianing, Lv, Fan, Guo, Shaojun, Sun, Gengzhi

“…However, the synergistic interaction between conductive filaments and active nanomaterials remains a crucial challenge, especially when hydrothermal or electrochemical deposition is used to produce a core (fiber)-shell (active materials) fibrous structure. On the other hand, although 2D pseudocapacitive materials, e.g., Ti3 C2 T x (MXene), have demonstrated high volumetric capacitance, high electrical conductivity, and hydrophilic characteristics, MXene-based electrodes normally suffer from poor rate capability owing to the sheet restacking especially when the loading level is high and solid-state gel is used as electrolyte. …”
