In this paper, the performance and fundamental mechanisms on gas sensing of V2CTx and Ti3C2Tx MXenes were investigated. The MXenes nanosheets with the same chemical composition can show positive or negative response to the same gas due to the change of surface chemistry, which, in turn, is affected by the etching solution to make the samples. The residual Li or Na atoms on the surface of MXenes have a weak impact on the gas sensing performance; however, the ratio of Cl/F has a strong impact. V2CTx made in HF showed positive/zero response to the eight gases tested in this paper and had excellent sensing performance to methane. However, V2CTx made in LiF+HCl showed negative/zero response, while that made in NaF+HCl displayed positive response only to formaldehyde. Ti3C2Tx made in NaF+HCl showed a positive response to all detected gases while that made in ZnCl2 had better gas detection ability but showed a negative response to ammonia, triethylamine, and toluene. On the basis of the theoretical simulations, the structure-sensitive sensing behavior of MXenes as gas sensors is mainly ascribed to the structure-dependent electron transmission mechanism upon adsorbed gas molecule. This study is significant to the application of MXene sensors for designing specific gases.

MXenes (Ti 3 C 2 T x ), an emerging two-dimensional (2D) material, derived from MAX phases, may have outstanding corrosion resistance performance due to its sheet property. However, pristine Ti 3 C 2 T x is inappropriate to be used directly as an anti-corrosion filler, owing to the existence of hydrophilic groups. Herein, few-layered Ti 3 C 2 T x sheets were modified via TiO 2 . Then functional Ti 3 C 2 T x (Ti 3 C 2 &TiO 2 ) was introduced to the waterborne polyurethane (WPU) coating. Finally, the corrosion resistance of the prepared composite coating was studied in detail. The results revealed that containing 0.1 wt%Ti 3 C 2 &TiO 2 composite coating has excellent corrosion resistant performance. After 28 days' immersion, the lowest frequency impedance of WPU/0.1%Ti 3 C 2 &TiO 2 composite coating was 6.64 × 10 7 Ω cm 2 , which was higher than that of WPU coating (3.48 × 10 6 Ω cm 2 ). After 110 days’ immersion, the lowest frequency impedance of WPU/0.1%Ti 3 C 2 &TiO 2 composite coating was 1.75 × 10 6 Ω cm 2 . Furthermore, the results of Tafel curves demonstrated that the corrosion current and corrosion rate of WPU/0.1%Ti 3 C 2 &TiO 2 composite coating were the lowest. That were 2.79 × 10 −9 A/cm 2 and 3.25 × 10 −5 mm/year, respectively. In conclusion, this work extended the great application prospects of functional Ti 3 C 2 T x sheets in the fields of anti-corrosion.

MXenes show great potential in energy storage due to their excellent conductivity, abundant surface groups and adjustable interlayer spacing. Amino modification is an effective strategy to improve electrochemical properties of MXene. However, the selection of amino source is still a key issue. Herein, the amino modification of Ti 3 C 2 MXenes for high-performance supercapacitors has been investigated. The structure and electrochemical properties of Ti 3 C 2 are modified by different amino sources, such as ethylenediamine (EDA), monoethanolamine (MEA) and hydrazine monohydrate (HM). EDA ensures Ti 3 C 2 the largest interlayer spacing (13.96 Å) and highest specific surface area (52.2 m 2 g −1 ). In addition, there are more functional groups in EDA-modified Ti 3 C 2 (EDA-Ti 3 C 2 ) resulted from the stronger electron-donating nature of EDA than HM and MEA. Thus, EDA-Ti 3 C 2 exhibits the largest specific capacitance of 683 F g −1 in 1 M H 2 SO 4 electrolyte at 2 mV/s, and the capacitance maintains 97.3 % of the original after 10,000 cycles at 50 mV/s. As a comparison, MEA-Ti 3 C 2 and HM-Ti 3 C 2 show specific capacitances of 553 F g −1 and 470 F g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, the symmetric supercapacitor based on EDA-Ti 3 C 2 electrode achieves maximum energy density of 7.87 W h kg −1 at power density of 600 W Kg −1 , and the energy density still remains at 6.34 W h Kg −1 even at an increased power density of 3000 W Kg −1 . This study proposes a simple strategy to enhance electrochemical properties of MXene by amino modification, providing valuable insights for high-performance supercapacitors.

The widespread application of epoxy resin (EP) is limited by its inherent high fire hazard, primarily attributed to its substantial release of heat and the generation of toxic byproducts during combustion. The usage of 2D material of titanium carbide (MXenes, defined as MX) has been confirmed to show potentials in flame retardation. However, the flame-retardant efficiency of MX is relatively-low. Thus, the interfacial engineering strategy is employed for in-situ development of MoS 2 nanoflakes on MX surface, acquiring the product of MX@MoS 2 , which shows the higher interfacial interaction with EP matrix and dispersion stability. By only using 1.0 wt% MX@MoS 2 , the PHRR and THR are obviously decreased by 35.8 % and 38.0 %, respectively. Notably, the addition of 3 % MX@MoS 2 results in a higher PHRR reduction 49.4 %. Meanwhile, the PSPR and TSP have reduced by 48.6 % and 36.9 %. Such results indicate the enhanced flame retardance, benefiting from the physical barrier and chemical catalyst roles of MX@MoS 2 . Of note, the peak CO and CO 2 yields are decreased by 53.3 % and 57.2 %. Upon exposure to heat source, MX@MoS 2 promotes the formation of dense, thermally-stable char layer, which effectively insulates the underlying polymer, slows down thermal and material transport, and impairs the volatile emissions. It is satisfying to find that the mechanical characteristics of EP composites are enhanced after adding MX@MoS₂. This study offers ideas to produce an extremely efficient MX-based flame retardant, extending the applications of composites made of polymers.

MXenes are emerging as highly promising materials for pseudocapacitive applications, offering exceptionally high specific capacitance. To date, over 30 distinct MXene compositions and nearly 20 solid solutions have been synthesized in the lab. However, research predominantly centers on Ti3C2Tx and a handful of other single-metal MXenes, with scant attention paid to solid-solution MXenes. Herein, a series of solid solution MAX phases (Nb1−yTiy)4AlC3 and corresponding (Nb1−yTiy)4C3Tx MXenes have been synthesized. The maximum proportion of Ti that can be incorporated into the M site has been examined. We found that the rate performance of MXenes improves with increasing Ti content. Especially, (Nb0.7Ti0.3)4C3Tx and (Nb0.6Ti0.4)4C3Tx retain 62.92% and 68.38% of their capacitances, when the scan rate is increased from 5 mV s−1 to 1000 mV s−1, respectively, compared to Nb4C3Tx's 13.88% retention. (Nb0.7Ti0.3)4C3Tx shows a specific capacitance of 311.06 F g−1 under a current density of 1 A g−1 and good cycling stability. This research demonstrates that the electrochemical characteristics of (Nb1−yTiy)4C3Tx solid solution MXenes can be manipulated by adjusting the ratio of transition metals.

Although two-dimensional transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) are becoming increasingly popular in contaminant remediation field, the preparation of MXene nanosheets that can efficiently eliminate the target pollutants still deserves in-depth investigation. Here we produced amidoxime Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets (TC-AO), which were efficient radionuclide adsorbents with high stability and positive affinity, by introducing the amidoxime group into the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene surface through grafting by diazonium salt. The high stability and abundant functional groups of TC-AO were demonstrated by different characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Multiple factors affecting the radionuclide removal performance were explored, including reaction time, temperature, pH, ionic strength, anions and cations. The experimental results demonstrated that the radionuclide uptake by TC-AO was a heat-absorbing, spontaneous single-molecule chemisorption process and was consistent with the pseudo-secondary and Langmuir models. When pH < 6, the mechanism of uranium removal was inner complexation, and as the pH continued to increase, uranium removal shifted to outer complexation. Furthermore, the results certificated that TC-AO exhibited fast reaction kinetics (reaching equilibrium in about 20 min), excellent removal efficiency (279.57 mg U·g −1 and 73.99 mg Eu·g −1 ), outstanding selectivity and good stability. The studies showed that TC-AO had good stability and functionality, which was not only valuable for the design of MXene based adsorbents, but also provided a meaningful option for the extraction of radioactive pollutants from wastewater.

Progress toward the integration of electronic sensors with a signal processing system is important for artificial intelligent and smart robotics. It demands mechanically robust, highly sensitive, and self-healable sensing materials which could generate discernible electric variations responding to external stimuli. Here, inspired by the supramolecular interactions of amino acid residues in proteins, we report a self-healable nanostructured Ti3C2MXenes/rubber-based supramolecular elastomer (NMSE) for intelligent sensing. MXene nanoflakes modified with serine through an esterification reaction assemble with an elastomer matrix, constructing delicate dynamic supramolecular hydrogen bonding interfaces. NMSE features desirable recovered toughness (12.34 MJ/m3) and excellent self-healing performance (∼100%) at room temperature. The NMSE-based sensor with high gauge factor (107.43), low strain detection limit (0.1%), and fast responding time (50 ms) can precisely detect subtle human motions (including speech, facial expression, pulse, and heartbeat) and moisture variations even after cut/healing processes. Moreover, NMSE-based sensors integrated with a complete signal process system show great feasibility for speech-controlled motions, which demonstrates promising potential in future wearable electronics and soft intelligent robotics.

Amino-functionalized MXenes (NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x ) were constructed with the feature of strong adsorption but also reduction ability for Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solution, via in situ polymerization of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) onto the surface of multilayer Ti 3 C 2 T x . Amino groups and Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets exhibit synergistic effects in the adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) anions. The maximum adsorption capacities for Cr(VI) onto NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x -0.5 calculated by Langmuir model are 107.4 mg/g. Meanwhile, Ti(Ⅱ) species and -NH 3 + are individually oxidized into Ti(Ⅳ) species and NO 3 − during the removal of Cr(VI). The NH 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x -0.5 nanosheets exhibit high selectivity and reusability for Cr(VI) removal. Density functional theory calculations illustrate that the synergy between Ti and N remarkably boost the binding energy of MXene toward Cr(VI) along with the electron density on MXene surface. This work provides deep insights into functionalized MXene nanosheets in the fields of heavy metal remediation.

Two-dimensional materials with unique physical and chemical properties have recently attracted widespread attention in the field of solar thermal conversion. However, affected by the Fresnel effect, traditional two-dimensional materials such as MXenes, graphene, transition metal disulfide often have relatively significant light reflection losses at the solid–liquid or gas interface. So how to improve the light absorption of the two-dimensional material performance has become a new challenge in photothermal conversion. Here, we use an improved thermal-injection method to uniformly grow Tricopper(I) Bismuth Sulfide (Cu3BiS3, CBS) on the surface of Ti3C2 nanosheets in a nonaqueous polar solvent environment. A three-dimensional nanoflower-nanosheet structure CBS-Ti3C2 for photothermal conversion has been constructed successfully. Owing to the excellent photothermal performance of Cu3BiS3 in the near-infrared region, the good thermal conductivity of Ti3C2, and the unique porous structure of the composite material, the composite achieves broadband absorption of light (more than 90% in the visible light region, more than 80% in the near-infrared region), which optical model and finite element simulation have theoretically verified. The composite material has obtained higher solar-to-heat conversion performance than similar material systems, and the steady-state temperature can reach 62.3 °C under 1 sun incident light intensity. CBS-Ti3C2 is expected to become a light-absorbing layer material for solar vapor generation devices due to its excellent light-to-heat conversion performance and good material flexibility. It still guarantees a reasonably high steam generation rate (1.32 kg·m–2·h–1) even with a thinner material thickness (0.48 mg·cm–2) and a comprehensive conversion efficiency higher than 90%. Besides, CBS-Ti3C2 also exhibits the characteristics of resisting surface salt accumulation, which is conducive to maintaining the long-lasting photothermal seawater evaporation process. The material’s electronic structure and the charge transfer process of the heterojunction interface have been studied with the first-principles calculation. The high light absorption performance and good thermal conductivity of the composite material are theoretically explained and supported.

Two-dimensional carbon-based materials have shown promising electromagnetic wave absorption capabilities in mid- and high-frequency ranges, but face challenges in low-frequency absorption due to limited control over polarization response mechanisms and ambiguous resonance behavior. In this study, we propose a novel approach to enhance absorption efficiency in aligned three-dimensional (3D) MXene/CNF (cellulose nanofibers) cavities by modifying polarization properties and manipulating resonance response in the 3D MXene architecture. This controlled polarization mechanism results in a significant shift of the main absorption region from the X-band to the S-band, leading to a remarkable reflection loss value of − 47.9 dB in the low-frequency range. Furthermore, our findings revealed the importance of the oriented electromagnetic coupling in influencing electromagnetic response and microwave absorption properties. The present study inspired us to develop a generic strategy for low-frequency tuned absorption in the absence of magnetic element participation, while orientation-induced polarization and the derived magnetic resonance coupling are the key controlling factors of the method.

The low yield of MXenes nanosheets and its poor interfacial compatibility with polymer matrix have been an unavoidable obstruction for the fabrication of related polymer nanocomposites . Here, we reported a facile and large-scale route for the simultaneous organic modification and exfoliation of MXene by utilizing the wet ball milling process. Due to the electrostatic attraction effect, positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) long chains would attach to negatively charged MXene, which prevented the newly peeled-off MXene sheets from agglomerating and reduced the collision from the steel balls. Also, the attached PDDA molecule may act as protective shield for MXene nanosheets, leading to the delay of oxidation on the surface of MXene nanosheets in atmosphere. Notably, with the incorporation of 3 wt% PDDA modified MXene in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix, the peak heat-release rate (decreased by 50%) and total smoke production (decreased by 47%) were significantly decreased. Moreover, mechanical performance (tensile strength at break was raised by 31.2%) and thermal conductivities (increased by 88.6%) of TPU nanocomposites were evidently enhanced. This novel strategy provide a simple and effective way to obtain exfoliated and functionalized MXenes nanosheets, enriching the application of MXenes in polymeric material field.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) has emerged as a promising material for room-temperature gas sensing applications. However, its practical use is constrained by stability issues. To address this, the in-situ growth of MoS 2 nanoflakes on MXenes (Ti 3 C 2 ) nanobelts is reported for efficient ammonia (NH 3 ) gas sensing applications under ambient conditions. The MoS 2 nanoflakes are grown successfully on Ti 3 C 2 nanobelts via a facile one-step hydrothermal method and analyzed by state-of-the-art investigations. The design of the gas sensor is to anchor MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 onto a ceramic tube with a pair of gold electrodes. The results demonstrate that the sensor fabricated exhibits rapid, selective and stable response for NH 3 at room temperature. Specifically, the sensor shows a significant gas response (∼10 %) to 100 ppm NH 3 , outperforming the pure MoS 2 based sensor (∼7 %). More importantly, the sensor maintains performance at 1 ppm NH 3 , with a gas response of 2.5 %, a response time of 10 seconds, and a recovery time of 7 seconds. These enhancements are attributed to the synergistic effects between MoS 2 and Ti 3 C 2 , which not only improve stability but also enhance gas sensing capabilities. This study elucidates the potential of MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composites for achieving reliable and efficient NH 3 sensing at room temperature, paving the way for advanced gas sensing technology.
