Abstract MXene, the class of two-dimensional materials, has been found to be useful as potential electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors. Although experimental investigation on the electrochemical performances of a few MXenes have been carried out with exciting results, a complete understanding of their atomic scale behaviour is yet to be done. Using first-principles electronic structure methods, we perform a systematic investigation of the capacitances in pristine and functionalised MXenes Mn+1CnO2 where M = T i, V, Nb and Mo. We provide results on each of the three sources of the capacitance and analyse them in detail for a complete understanding of their behaviour. The inter-pretation of the experimental results, wherever available, in the light of our computations,provides useful insights.

AbstractUtilizing a two-dimensional material in an electronic device as channel layer inevitably involves the formation of contacts with metallic electrodes. As these contacts can dramatically affect the behavior of the device, we study the electronic properties of monolayer Janus MoSSe in contact with different metallic electrodes by first-principles calculations, focusing on the differences in the characteristics of contacts with the two sides of MoSSe. In particular, we demonstrate that the Fermi level pinning is different for the two sides of MoSSe, with the magnitude resembling that of MoS2 or MoSe2, while both sides can form Ohmic contacts with common electrode materials without any further adaptation, which is an outstanding advantage over MoS2 and MoSe2.

The physical and bonding properties of a new class of two-dimensional materials – CuXSe2 (X = Cl, Br) – are investigated using first-principles methods. 2D CuXSe2 are indirect band gap and possess extremely anisotropic and very high carrier mobilities.
