Development of hybrid MXene-biochar composite material for energy storage application and synthesis of MAX phase using conventional and microwave heating techniques

Storing energy efficiently is hard because it's expensive and batteries don't last long, lose power quickly, and can't hold much power. Scientists are working on new materials to make better energy storage systems. One of the materials is MXene, but it suffers from clumping together and isn't very stable over time. Another problem is the preparation process of raw material for the MXene. Therefore, our research aimed to develop a new material by mixing MXene with biochar or carbon. The objective was to understand whether the mixed material can enhance the properties that are suitable for energy storage systems.
