The increased energy requirement in the world is also bringing about the corresponding trend towards clean and sustainable energy systems. Energy storage plays a key role in balancing supply, reducing non-renewable reliance, and stabilizing the grid. MXene is a versatile class of nanomaterials that has recently shown potential for energy storage applications in devices such as supercapacitors and batteries. MXene can be synthesized through the exfoliation of ‘A’ layer from its parent MAX phases, either via top-down or bottom-up approaches. MXene possesses unique properties like high conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, good hydrophilicity, superior mechanical properties, and exceptional electrochemical properties. These characteristics make them the most demanding energy material. This review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the properties of MXene and the factors that affect its electrochemical behavior. This review also brings attention to the recent development of MXene-based ternary composites regarding their electrochemical performance improvement by the synergistic effect with other constituents like carbon-based materials, metal oxides and sulfides, transition metal chalcogenides, conjugated polymers, and other active materials. The architecture and electrochemical properties of ternary composites in supercapacitors and batteries are discussed in detail, along with the challenges and future perspectives.
