AB  - In this work, MnxZn1-xFe2O4 (MZF) ferrite and MXene (Ti3C2Tx) composites were addressed to enhance the electrochemical performance. MXene is a relatively new material belonging to the 2D layered family and is mainly used to enhance the electrochemical features of electrode materials. The incorporation of MZF material acts as a conductive bridge, affecting the structural stability and electrochemical features of Ti3C2Tx MXene. MZF nanoparticles were embedded with Ti3C2Tx MXene to develop a hybrid MXene@MZF1 electrode composite. The structural formation of composites was investigated using Raman spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, and XPS. The electrochemical examination of the prepared composite revealed a significant increase in specific capacitance. The (MXene)75(Mn0.05Zn0.95Fe2O4)25 electrode material was exposed to a gravimetric specific capacitance of 646.9 F/g at a scanning rate of 5 mV/s. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device was constructed, achieving a specific energy of approximately 47 W·h·kg−1 and a power density of 4937.1 W/kg, respectively. An excellent capacitance retention of 128.9% and coulombic efficiency of 99% were observed after 6000 GCD duty cycles. This study confirmed the good stability of the MXene@MZF1 electrode compound after experimental and theoretical investigations. Therefore, MXene-based MZF1 electrode materials enhanced electrochemical properties and improved cyclic durability for the ASC device.
