The article reviews the research status and future prospects of MXene-based materials in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). AZIBs, known for their high safety, abundant zinc resources, and high theoretical specific capacity, have gained significant attention due to their potential in large-scale electrochemical energy storage. However, challenges such as low electron conductivity, slow ion migration, zinc dendrite formation, and side reactions hinder their practical application. MXene, a two-dimensional material with superior conductivity, large polar surface area, and abundant active sites, can address these issues by serving as cathode materials, electrolyte additives, and anode protection layers. The review highlights the application of MXene-based materials in improving cathode performance and inhibiting zinc dendrites. It also discusses the structural design of MXene in electrode materials and the underlying mechanisms that enhance battery performance. Finally, the article outlines future opportunities and directions for MXene-based materials to further improve the performance of AZIBs.The article reviews the research status and future prospects of MXene-based materials in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs).
