1 Introduction The conversion and utilization of renewable energies often involve oxygen redox reactions (e.g., oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER)), which require efficient electrocatalysts to overcome their thermodynamic barriers and sluggish kinetics.[1] The recent development of single-atom catalysts by embedding individual transition metal atoms in nitrogen-doped carbon matrices (M-N-C) provides near-unity atomic utilization and good performance.[2] The...

5 Summary and Future Perspectives This review summarizes recent research advances in exploring MXenes as electrode materials in Zn-based electrochemical energy storage devices. In ZIBs, MXenes have been used as the surface protective layer to stabilize the Zn/electrolyte interface or as 3D supports of Zn to decrease the local current density.
