Recently, a number of graphene-like early transition metal carbides and nitrides named as MXenes were fabricated by exfoliating MAX phases in hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. From experiments results and theory calculations, MXenes are promising anode materials in batteries as well as in metal-ion capacitors. To the best of our knowledge, experimental or calculated evidence has been supported the existence of more than 70 MAX phases members. Therefore, many counterparts MXene may be exist. Herein, employing density functional theory (DFT) computations, we have systematically examined the relative stability, structure and electronic properties of a series of two-dimensional metal carbides and nitrides including M2C (M=Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Hf, Mo and Ta), M2N (M=Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Hf), M3C2(M=Ti, V, Nb, Ta), Ti3N2, M4C3(M=Ti, V, Nb, Ta) and Ti4N3. The results demonstrate that all MXenes are metallic and have the similarly electronic structure with bulk transition metal carbides and nitrides, indicating that MXene may have superior catalysis and adsorption instead of expensive pure transition metal.

<div>CO2 is one of the main actors in the greenhouse effect and its removal from the atmosphere is becoming an urgent need. Thus, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 capture and usage (CCU) technologies are intensively investigated as technologies to decrease the concentration</div><div>of atmospheric CO2. Both CCS and CCU require appropriate materials to adsorb/release and adsorb/activate CO2, respectively. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that transition metal carbides (TMC) are able to capture, store, and activate CO2. To further improve the adsorption capacity of these materials, a deep understanding of the atomic level processes involved is essential. In the present work, we theoretically investigate the possible effects of surface metal doping of these TMCs by taking TiC as a textbook case and Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr as dopants. Using periodic slab models with large</div><div>supercells and state-of-the-art density functional theory based calculations we show that CO2 adsorption is enhanced by doping with metals down a group but worsened along the d series. Adsorption sites, dispersion and coverage appear to play a minor, secondary constant effect. The dopant-induced adsorption enhancement is highly biased by the charge rearrangement at the surface. In all cases, CO2 activation is found but doping can shift the desorption temperature by up to 135 K.</div>
