Abstract

Here, the interaction mechanism of 1-aminoanthraquinone (AQ) on Ti₃C₂T_x MXene by noncovalent (AQ@Ti₃C₂T_x) and covalent (AQ-Ti₃C₂T_x) functionalization is reported. Spectroscopic, X-ray, and scattering techniques confirmed noncovalent functionalization of AQ on Ti₃C₂T_x MXene without its catalytic decomposition, resulting in intercalation and interaction of AQ with Ti₃C₂T_x MXene. Diazonium reaction was further used to covalently functionalize AQ molecules on Ti₃C₂T_x MXene. Optimized AQ-Ti₃C₂T_x freestanding electrodes of ∼44 μm thickness delivered capacitance of ∼300 F/g and improved rate performance compared to the pristine counterpart (Ti₃C₂T_x) due to carbonyl redox of AQ and improved ionic transport between MXene layers due to pillaring of AQ molecules.
