Abstract

Ti 3 C 2 T x -based aerogels have attracted widespread attention for three-dimensional porous structures, which are promising to realize high-rate energy storage. However, disordered Ti 3 C 2 T x aerogels with highly tortuous porosity fabricated by conventional unidirectional freeze-casting substantially increase ion diffusion lengths and hinder electrolyte ions transport. Herein we demonstrate a new bidirectional ice-templated approach to synthesize porous ordered Ti 3 C 2 T x aerogel with straight and aligned channels, straight and short ion diffusion pathways, leading to better ion accessibility. The aligned Ti 3 C 2 T x aerogel exhibits the high specific capacitance of 345 F g −1 at 20 mV s −1 and rate capability of 52.2% from 10 to 5000 mV s −1 . The specific capacitance is insensitive of mass loadings even at 10 mg cm −2 and an excellent power density of 137.3 mW cm –2 is obtained in symmetric supercapacitors. The electrochemical properties of Ti 3 C 2 T x aerogel supercapacitors at sub-zero (to −30 °C) temperatures are reported for the first time. The aligned Ti 3 C 2 T x aerogel delivers temperature-independent rate performance and high capacitance retention (73% at 50 mV s −1 from 25 to −30 °C) due to the unique structure with metallic conductivity.
