3D printing, as an advanced and promising strategy for processing electrode for energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries, has garnered considerable interest in recent decades. The interest in 3D printed electrodes stems from its exceptional performance and manufacturing features, including customized sizes and shapes and the layer-by-layer processing principle, etc., especially integrating with MXene which allows the manufacturing of electrodes from different raw materials and possessing desired electrochemical properties. Herculean challenges, such as material compatibility of the printing inks, nondurable interfacial or bulk mechanical strength of the printed electrodes, and sometimes the low capacitance, lead to inferior electrochemical performance and hinder the practical applications of this promising technology. In this review, we firstly summarize the representative 3D printing methods, then, review the MXene-based 3D printing electrodes made from different materials, and last, provide electrochemical performance of 3D printing MXene-based electrodes for supercapacitors. Furthermore, based on a summary on the recent progress, an outlook on these promising electrodes for sustainable energy devices is provided. We anticipate that this review could provide some insights into overcoming the challenges and achieving more remarkable electrochemical performance of 3D printing supercapacitor electrodes and offer perspectives in the future for emerging energy devices.
作为一种用于制造超级电容器和电池等储能设备电极的先进且有前景的策略，3D打印在近几十年来引起了广泛关注。对3D打印电极的兴趣源于其卓越的性能和制造特性，包括定制的尺寸和形状以及逐层加工原理等，特别是与MXene集成后，能够使用不同原材料制造电极并具备所需的电化学性能。然而，诸如打印油墨的材料兼容性、打印电极的界面或整体机械强度不持久，以及有时电容较低等艰巨挑战，导致电化学性能不佳，阻碍了这项有前景技术的实际应用。在本综述中，我们首先总结了具有代表性的3D打印方法，接着，回顾了由不同材料制成的基于MXene的3D打印电极，最后，给出了用于超级电容器的3D打印MXene基电极的电化学性能。此外，基于对近期进展的总结，对这些用于可持续能源设备的有前景电极进行了展望。我们预计，本综述可为克服挑战、实现3D打印超级电容器电极更卓越的电化学性能提供一些见解，并为新兴能源设备的未来发展提供展望。
