What is it about?
2D materials posses distinctive properties than the 3D materials. The focus on these materials start evolving with time with the benchmark award of the Nobel Prize on Graphene in 2010. But the single layer Graphene comes out with only single element of Carbon. Recently scientists start evolving techniques to expand it more broadly to synthesize other 2D materials with different transional metal ions. The synthesis of the Ti3C2Tx 2D materials made it possible to achieve multilayed 2D structure with different chemical composition along with the functional groups. The role of the functional groups and heteroatoms is to attract the nanofillers into the 2D structure. The possible reinforcement made it possible to apply the materials for the energy storage and sensor applications.

Why is it important?
The role of a supercapacitor greatly enhances the energy storage mechanism. The work explains the role of MXene Two-Dimensional Material for such applications.
Perspectives
The MXene Two-Dimensional Material has a Harmonium Bellows structure quite similar to those of a classical Indian instrument. The surface engineering technique used in this work further improves its performance as a supercapacitor. The main perspective of the work is to go beyond the Graphene and to introduce MXene which is nothing but a transitional metal carbide.
