Efficient carrier separation and high electron migration efficiency are essential for sustainable H 2 energy production via photocatalysis . In this work, a Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/Ti 3 C 2 MXene/g-C 3 N 4 all-solid-state Z-scheme photocatalyst is constructed by a series of processes, including low temperature calcination , etching, ultrasonication and solvothermal process. The appropriate energy band structures of g-C 3 N 4 and Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S enable the formation of the Z-scheme system, achieving efficient carrier separation. The Ti 3 C 2 MXene flakes assembled between g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S particles can accelerate the charge migration rate in the system. The optimized ternary composite exhibits the highest hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 13.7 mmol g −1 h −1 , which is much higher than that of the pure g-C 3 N 4 and Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S. Meanwhile, the apparent quantum yield (AQY) value of the composite at 420 nm reaches up to 24.07 % and exhibits high stability. Based on the characterization, the photocatalytic mechanism of carrier transfer in the Z-scheme heterojunction is also revealed. The finding of this article provides insights into the high efficiency of carrier transfer and separation in the photocatalytic reactions.

MXene , a new family of 2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides , has been proved to possess excellent electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity. In this work, a single-step method to produce the larger interplanar spacing 2D MXene Ti 3 C 2 by etching Ti 3 AlC 2 with NH 4 HF 2 was demonstrated, and the optimal reaction conditions between Ti 3 AlC 2 and NH 4 HF 2 were systematically researched. The morphology and microstructure of samples were characterized by scanning electron smicroscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal stability of Ti 3 C 2 was investigated by the thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analyzer (DTA). It was found that the lattice parameter c of obtained Ti 3 C 2 was up to 24.9 Å, and the larger interplanar spacing Ti 3 C 2 was more stable than the sample exfoliated by HF. The transition temperature in air from NH 4 HF 2 -etched Ti 3 C 2 to anatase TiO 2 thoroughly is more than 500 ℃, and the multilayered structure of Ti 3 C 2 could be well retained even afer 900 ℃ heat treatment, while the value of HF-etched Ti 3 C 2 is less than 350 ℃. This work is important for exploring a safe synthesis method and well understanding the thermal stability of 2D MXene materials.

Exploiting magnesium-based hydrogen storage materials faces great challenges due to their inherent thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics. However, this issue can be mitigated by employing a catalyst doping modification strategy. In this work, a composite of titanium carbide (Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene)-supported nickel fluoride (NiF 2 ) nanoparticles, known as NiF 2 @Ti 3 C 2 , was fabricated via the hydrothermal approach and utilized to reinforce the hydrogen storage performance of magnesium (Mg). It was shown that NiF 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composites have exceptional catalytic properties for Mg hydrogen storage. The Mg–NiF 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composite, containing 5 wt% of NiF 2 @Ti 3 C 2 , released 3.46 wt% of hydrogen at 300 °C, while pure Mg produced essentially little hydrogen in identical conditions. Additionally, there was a decrease in the activation energy of hydrogen desorption from 135.4 to 77.65 kJ mol −1 . Moreover, the composite offered excellent stability and reversible performance, achieving 95.8% capacity retention after 10 consecutive testing cycles. During the hydrogen uptake and release process, the NiF 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composite interacted with Mg/MgH 2 to produce the metals Ti 0 , MgF 2 , and Mg 2 Ni/Mg 2 NiH 4 , which acted as active species to boost the hydrogen storage performance of Mg.

Two-dimensional layered material of Ti 3 C 2 has been used to improve the hydrogen desorption properties of LiBH 4 . The results of temperature-programmed dehydrogenation (TPD) and isotherm dehydrogenation (TD) demonstrate that adding the Ti 3 C 2 contributes to the hydrogen storage performance of LiBH 4 . The dehydrogenation temperature decreases and the dehydrogenation rate increases with increasing the adding amounts of Ti 3 C 2 . The onset dehydrogenation temperature of LiBH 4 + 40 wt% Ti 3 C 2 composite is 120 °C and approximately 5.37 wt% hydrogen is liberated within 1 h at 350 °C. Furthermore, the activation energy of LiBH 4 + wt.% Ti 3 C 2 is also greatly reduced to 70.3 kJ/mol, much lower than that of pure LiBH 4 . The remarkable dehydrogenation property of the LiBH 4 + 40 wt% Ti 3 C 2 may be due to the layered active Ti-containing Ti 3 C 2 and the high surface area of MXene .

Ti3C2, though one of the most extensively studied 2D MXenes, is rarely reported in dye-sensitized photocatalysis. Platinum is commonly used as a co-catalyst in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution but it increases the cost and hence restricts the commercialization of this technology. Eosin Y (EY) is widely studied in dye-sensitized systems as it is not only low-cost and easily commercially available, but also exhibits excellent visible light absorption ability. Herein, we oxidized Ti3C2 MXene in water at 60 °C for different times, to form TiO2/Ti3C2 on amorphous carbon (AC) composites. The oxidized MXene was used as a photocatalyst in a dye-sensitized system for hydrogen evolution to replace noble metal co-catalysts such as Pt. The highest hydrogen production rate of 33.4 μmol h−1 g−1 was achieved by the TiO2/Ti3C2@AC-48h composite with the sensitization of 1 mM EY, which was 110 times higher than that of oxidized Ti3C2 without EY. This work shows the potential of 2D MXenes used in dye-sensitized photocatalysis for hydrogen evolution.

Photodynamic therapy as an antibiotic-free method could effectively solve the bacterial infection problem and avoid the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this paper, Ti 3 C 2 @gold nanorods (GNRs)/PDA nanoparticles with synergistic photodynamic antibacterial properties were obtained by coating PDA on the surface of in situ growth Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs. GNRs growing on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets effectively prevented the aggregation of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, which ensured the distinct photodynamic antibacterial performance of Ti 3 C 2 . In addition, the introduction of SH-PEG-CH 3 to Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs nanosheets endowed Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles with good biocompatibility. Furthermore, Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles possessed synergistically enhanced photodynamic properties, caused by the remarkable photodynamic properties of Ti 3 C 2 MXene and PDA. In addition, with the increase in PDA content, Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles could produce more 1 O 2 under 660 nm laser irradiation and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA 50 nanoparticles against E. coli and S. aureus decreased to about 0.07 mg/mL. Thus, this work utilizes the 1 O 2 -generating performance of Ti 3 C 2 MXene and PDA to fabricate Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles with synergistically enhanced photodynamic antibacterial activities, which is expected to be applied in antibiotic-free antibacterial field.

Ti 3 C 2 MXene has demonstrated to be a potential microwave absorber if some difficulties, e.g., poor impedance matching and lack of magnetic loss, can be well-solved. In this paper, laminated Ti 3 C 2 MXene was synthesized using the HF etching method. CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles-decorated Ti 3 C 2 MXene (CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 ) composites were then fabricated via a novel in-situ solvothermal process. The incorporation of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles on the electromagnetic (EM) and microwave absorption properties of Ti 3 C 2 MXene were systematically studied over 2–18 GHz. Interestingly, increased percolation threshold and controlled complex permittivity were well-observed in the CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 composites. Furthermore, additional magnetic loss due to the existence of magnetic CoFe 2 O 4 was easily obtained. Benefiting from tunable electromagnetic properties, the minimum reflection loss (RL) value of the CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 -filled absorbing coating achieved −30.9 dB with a matching thickness of only 1.5 mm. A wide effective absorption bandwidth (RL < −10 dB) of 8.5 GHz was correspondingly realized. These results demonstrated that the CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 composites are favorable as a broadband microwave absorbent.

Carbon support used in commercial Pt/C commonly suffers from corrosion under harsh electrooxidation environment endowed by anodic potential. An alternative support with superior electric conductivity and stable structure should be developed. Herein, Ti 3 C 2 MXene was synthesized as support to immobilize Pt nanoparticles due to its fascinating stable layered structure, and metallic property. Used as electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for the first time, as-prepared Pt/Ti 3 C 2 MXene showed much enhanced electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation, as unraveled by its peak current density of 1.137 mA/cm 2 , nearly three times larger than that of Pt/C (0.388 mA/cm 2 ). Moreover, it also exhibited long-term stability even running for 2 h. In addition, Pt/Ti 3 C 2 MXene was able to catalyze electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution with only 7 mV overpotential at − 10 mA/cm 2 , obviously lower than that of Pt/C (17 mV). The improved MOR and HER activity of Pt/Ti 3 C 2 MXene could be assigned to the unique stable 2D nanosheet structure, excellent electric conductivity, strong binding strength as well as electronic effect between Pt and Ti 3 C 2 MXene. This work widens the application of Ti 3 C 2 MXene in the field of methanol oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction.

Exploiting novel materials with high specific capacities is crucial for the progress of advanced energy storage devices. Intentionally constructing functional heterostructures based on a variety of two-dimensional (2D) substances proves to be an extremely efficient method for capitalizing on the shared benefits of these materials. By elaborately designing the structure, a greatly escalated steadiness can be achieved throughout electrochemical cycles, along with boosted electron transfer kinetics. In this study, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was utilized to alter the surface composition of multilayer Ti3C2TxMXene, contributing to contriving various layered heterostructure materials through a precise adjustment of the reaction temperature. The optimal composite materials at a reaction temperature of 500 °C (defined as MX500), incorporating MXene as the conductive substrate, exhibited outstanding stability and high coulombic efficiency during electrochemical cycling. Meanwhile, the reactive sites are increased by using TiS2and TiO2at the heterogeneous interfaces, which sustains a specific capacity of 449 mAh g−1after 200 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g−1and further demonstrates their exceptional electrochemical characteristics. Additionally, the noted pseudocapacitive properties, like MXene materials, further highlight the diverse capabilities of intuitive material design. This study illuminates the complex details of surface modification in multilayer MXene and offers a crucial understanding of the strategic creation of heterostructures, significantly impacting sophisticated electrochemical applications.

MXene is a new two-dimensional (2D) material with excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the MXene nanosheets have high surface energy and exhibit poor dispersibility and stability in oil, owing to the presence of ‒OH, ‒O, and ‒F functional groups on the surface. Herein, 2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene material was chemically modified with tetradecylphosphonic acid (TDPA). Through the condensation reaction of the phosphoric acid groups with hydroxyl groups on the Ti 3 C 2 surface, a modified Ti 3 C 2 nanosheet (TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 ) was obtained. We dispersed TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 into castor oil to study its tribological properties. Compared with pure castor oil, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate (W r ) of castor oil with 0.1 wt% TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 are reduced by 27.9% and 55.1%, respectively. The possible friction-reducing and anti-wear mechanisms of TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 in castor oil were explored by analyzing the surface morphologies of the wear scars. The improvement of lubrication performance is attributed to the deposition and adsorption of TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 on the friction surface during the lubrication process, forming a physical transfer film to prevent direct contact with the friction pair. The research results show that the modified Ti 3 C 2 has broad application prospects in lubrication and tribology .

As a photocatalyst , titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) suffers from the wide band gap and the quick carrier recombination process, thus leading to the inefficient use of solar energy and poor catalytic performance. Herein, in this work, TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 heterojunctions are designed to overcome these shortcomings via growing TiO 2 in situ on the titanium element of Ti 3 C 2 MXene . The TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 heterojunctions not only broaden the range of light absorption , but also hugely extend the lifetime of photogenerated carriers. Besides, the anatase TiO 2 with exposed (001) facets further enhances the catalytic properties. After optimizing the amount of TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 heterojunctions by controlling reaction time, 20 mg catalysts can degrade 97.6% of 30 mL tetracycline solution (15 mg/L) in 90 min under visible light . Even after five cycles, the degradation ability of TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 only changes from 97.6% to 94.3%. This paper offers another perspective on the synthesis of efficient and stable photocatalysts.

Abundant electrochemical active sites, high electronic conductivity as well as stable structure and electrochemical activity are indispensable but usually incompatible to the ideal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, an efficient and stable MoS 2 -Ti 3 C 2 MXene electrocatalyst is synthesized using a delicately designed one-step hydrothermal method, in which the few-layers thick, edge-oriented, high-percentage 1T′-phase (∼ 85.0 %) MoS 2 nanosheets are well grown on the cation-modified Ti 3 C 2 MXene and stabilize Ti 3 C 2 MXene against spontaneous oxidation caused by dissolved-oxygen. The structure and phase engineering of MoS 2 as well as the fully surface-shielding Ti 3 C 2 MXene endow the as-synthesized MoS 2 -Ti 3 C 2 MXene electrocatalyst with a wealth of accessible active sites and high electrical conductivity for HER together with excellent structure stability. Consequently, the as-synthesized MoS 2 -Ti 3 C 2 MXene exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic HER performance in acidic medium with a low overpotential of 98 mV at 10 mA cm -2 , a depressed Tafel slope of 45 mV dec -1 and a low electrochemical resistance.
