Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) has been considered as the most promising absorber material for inorganic thin-film solar cells. Among the three main interfaces in CZTSSe-based solar cells, the CZTSSe/Mo back interface plays an essential role in hole extraction as well as device performance. During the selenization process, the reaction between CZTSSe and Mo is one of the main reasons that lead to a large open circuit voltage (VOC) deficit, low short circuit current (Jsc), and fill factor. In this study, 2D Ti3C2-MXene was introduced as an intermediate layer to optimize the interface between the CZTSSe absorber layer and Mo back contact. Benefiting from the 2D Ti3C2-MXene intermediate layer, the reaction between CZTSSe and Mo was effectually suppressed, thus, significantly reducing the thickness of the detrimental Mo(S,Se)2 layer as well as interface recombination at the CZTSSe/Mo back interface. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the champion device fabricated with the 2D Ti3C2-MXene intermediate layer was improved from 10.89 to 13.14% (active-area efficiency). This study demonstrates the potential use of the 2D Ti3C2-MXene intermediate layer for efficient CZTSSe solar cells and promotes a deeper understanding of the back interface in CZTSSe solar cells.

The continuous discharging of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) significantly damaged global environment and human health. In this study, SnS 2 microflowers/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heterostructure was modified by Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the detection of NO 2 at room temperature. The microcomposite decorated with 6 wt% AuNPs exhibited excellent sensing properties including response value of 5.34 to 1 ppm NO 2 , which was almost 5 times higher than that of undecorated one. The limit of detection lowered from 500 ppb to 5 ppb with the addition of AuNPs. Besides, the AuNPs decorated SnS 2 /MXene microcomposite revealed good selectivity, fatigue resistance, as well as potential application towards flexible sensing. The NO 2 gas sensing mechanism of AuNPs decorated with SnS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene microcomposite was discussed through density functional theory calculation on adsorption behavior and transferred charges in detail. This work may provide an important pathway for the future development of NO 2 sensors at room temperature.

Currently, NO pollution is an urgent challenge for us to face, and photocatalytic degradation has been recognized as one of the most promising methods to reduce it. As a representative photocatalyst , g-C 3 N 4 has attracted researchers because of its low cost and excellent performance. In this work, a new triphasic Z-scheme heterostructure was built, TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene/g-C 3 N 4 , to improve the visible-light irradiation-induced NO removal efficiency of g-C 3 N 4 . In this Z-scheme heterostructure, Ti 3 C 2 MXene could form a directional electron transfer thoroughfare between g-C 3 N 4 and TiO 2 to accelerate the electronic transmission rate, meanwhile, due to the specificity of the band structure, electrons on conduction band of g-C 3 N 4 and holes on valence band of TiO 2 can be well separated and react with the adsorbed species to achieve good photocatalytic performance. Because of the triphasic heterostructure formed by TiO 2 , Ti 3 C 2 MXene and g-C 3 N 4 , the efficiency of this compound for visible-light irradiation-induced NO removal improves from 32% to 56%. This work provides a new strategy to improve NO removal efficiency and shows a broader application prospect of photocatalysts with a triphasic structure.

construction of the Schottky-junction is considered to be a valid route to boost the spatial charge separation and transfer of the photocatalytic system. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were prepared by an annealing route, and then a 2D/2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction was fabricated using an in-situ electrostatic assembly of negatively charged Ti 3 C 2 MXene and positively charged O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction exhibited almost two times enhanced hydrogen evolution (25124 μmol/g/h) in comparison to pristine O-doped g-C 3 N 4 (13745 μmol/g/h) and Ti 3 C 2 MXene/pristine C 3 N 4 (15573 μmol/g/h). Based on fully characterizations and theory calculation, the enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the synergy effect of intimate 2D/2D interfacial contact and the construction of Schottky-junction, which result in the short charge transport distance from HCN to Ti 3 C 2 MXene and efficient separation of the photo-generated charge. This study will provide new insight into developing 2D/2D Schottky-junction photocatalysts for the solution of the energy crisis.

A self-assembled sensing interface based on Ti 3 C 2 MXene functionalized by aptamer had been successfully constructed in this work, which fully utilizes the electrical properties of Ti 3 C 2 MXene and the specific recognition ability of the aptamer. Subsequently, we studied the performance of the sensing interface using two antibiotic residues as examples. Under the optimal conditions, the sensing interface showed a linear range of 100 fM–1 μM and a limit of detection of 1 fM to detect kanamycin and tetracycline, furthermore the recovery rates were 97.15%–103.00% and 99.559%–106.36%, respectively. In addition, the sensing behaviors of aptamers specific recognition of target can be perceived by the interface, thereby exhibiting different electrical responses. Therefore, the self-assembled sensing interface not only provided a new avenue for the development of ultrasensitive technology in the food analysis field but also for investigating aptamer configurational transformations.

Ti 3 C 2 MXene (TM) has great application potential in the field of wave absorption and corrosion resistance due to its unique performance, such as high specific surface area, high electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical and good chemical stability. However, it is difficult to obtain uniformly dispersed TM in the resin matrix due to rapid agglomeration behavior. It is difficult to obtain uniformly dispersed Ti 3 C 2 MXene (TM) in the resin matrix due to rapid agglomeration behavior. Herein, a novel method is presented to improve the corrosion protection and dispersion of TM by polymerizing polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles between layers. The waterborne epoxy (WEP) coating with PANI-TM had high mechanical properties including impact resistance, adhesion, and flexibility and wear resistance. The PANI-TM-WEP composites can effectively absorb more than 90 % of the electromagnetic waves and demonstrate a decreased glass transition temperature of WEP from 128.0 to 107.6 ℃. Moreover, the |Z| 0.01Hz value of the PANI-TM 0.5 % was 1.2369 × 10 6 Ω·cm 2 , which was one order of magnitude larger than WEP coating. The high-performance anticorrosion of PANI intercalated TM coating is attributed to the synergistic effect of impermeable TM nanosheets and passivation effect of PANI. Therefore, PANI-TM is a potential choice for applications in the fields of anticorrosion and microwave absorption.

Previous studies on photocatalytic technology have shown that doping co-catalysts and constructing composite heterojunctions are effective strategies for improving the photocatalyst performance. The Ti3C2/SrTiO3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst with a gradient heterostructure was prepared by the high-temperature calcination method with Ti3C2 as the co-catalyst. The effects of g-C3N4 content on the microstructure and hydrogen evolution rate of the Ti3C2/SrTiO3/g-C3N4 composites were investigated under simulated sunlight. The results showed that the photocatalyst with 60 wt% of g-C3N4 had the optimal hydrogen evolution rate of 1733.13 μmol g−1 h−1 after simulated sunlight irradiation for 4 h, which was approximately 3.3 times higher than that of Ti3C2/SrTiO3. After four photocatalytic hydrogen evolution cycles, no significant decrease in the hydrogen evolution rate of the Ti3C2/SrTiO3/g-C3N4 composite was observed. This work may serve as a rational reference on the synergistic effect of heterostructures and cocatalysts to improve the separation effect of electron–hole pairs, thus improving the hydrogen evolution effect of the catalyst.

2D MXene nanosheets are increasingly attracting interest due to their promising applications in materials science and biomedicine. However, the environmental fate of MXenes, particularly their biotransformation, is poorly understood. Here, the biodegradability of Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets was investigated using a plant horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated reaction. The degradation rates of Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets were determined to be first-order in both HRP and H2O2 dosage. Material characterizations and product identifications revealed that peroxidase-catalyzed the oxidation of Ti3C2 MXene in the presence of H2O2, resulting in the formation of holes on its basal plane, the generation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, and the release of CO2. The assessment using Daphnia magna revealed visible toxicity and enrichment of Ti3C2 MXene to aquatic organisms, with LC50 values of pristine Ti3C2 MXene to Daphnia as 55.41, 7.24, and 2.97 mg L-1 at 48, 72, and 96 h, respectively. Substantial accumulation (74.30 μg Ti mg-1 of dry tissue) of Ti3C2 MXene by Daphnia was observed after 48 h of exposure. Furthermore, the biological effects of HRP-degraded Ti3C2 MXene products on Daphnia were examined. Although the toxicity to Daphnia was reduced, a substantial increase in the bioaccumulation of Ti3C2 MXene biodegradation products (137.36 μg Ti mg-1 of dry tissue) was observed. These findings reveal that enzymatic degradation alters the size and surface chemistry of Ti3C2 MXene, potentially changing its toxicity and altering its environmental compatibility.

Given the rapid advancements in digital and communication technology, electromagnetic wave pollution has emerged as a pressing concern for society. In addition, wave-absorbing materials are typically utilized in complex and dynamic environments, where they are susceptible to corrosion, which can result in a reduction in their effectiveness. Herein we synthesized a polypyrrole functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MXene (PPy-TM) hybrid with significant electromagnetic wave absorption and superior corrosion resistance by in situ polymerization method, which due to the in situ polymerization process of PPy on TM's surface causes the smoothness of TM's surface to turn coarse. The composite exhibited an optimal reflection loss of − 35.5 dB at 3.60 GHz for a 7.50 mm thickness. Additionally, the value of |Z| 0.01 Hz for PPy-TM 0.5% (5.1218 × 10 4 Ω cm 2 ) was an order of magnitude higher than the WEP (7.9778 × 10 3 Ω cm 2 ) coating after 30 days of exposure to 3.5 wt% NaCl electrolyte. This study establishes a benchmark for designing next-generation materials that integrate robust microwave absorption with long-term corrosion protection.

In this study, an original photocatalytic self-cleaning composite membrane with the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and g-C 3 N 4 (CN)/amorphous Ti-peroxo complexes (CATC) was prepared on the commercial cellulose acetate membrane (CAM) through the vacuum filtration approach to overcome the common membrane fouling issues. The material properties of composites or membranes were characterized. Here, the permeability and separation performance of membranes were optimized by CATC and PAA dosages. A series of membrane separation tests revealed that the produced membrane had better permeability and dye removal capabilities. A pure water flux (PWF) of the GO/PAA/CATC (GPC) membrane was 30.95 L·m −2 ·h −1 , corresponding to 3.43 times in comparison to that of the pure GO membrane. The removal efficiencies for the GPC membrane towards methylene blue (MB), rhodamine b (RhB), Cu(NO 3 ) 2 , and congo red (CR) were over 99% due to the hydrogen bond, π-π, electrostatic, and physical sieving effects. Also, the GPC membrane demonstrated a favorable separation performance towards oil/water emulsion (over 98%). In addition, the GPC membrane maintained stable rejections towards MB, CR, RhB, and Cu(NO 3 ) 2 at pH 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 environments. Meanwhile, the self-cleaning GPC membrane was endowed with satisfactory reusability after 6 cycles because of the photocatalytic effect at the roles of h + , O 2 − , and OH free radicals. Hence, it can be expected that the GPC membrane synthesized in this study poses a favorable utilization capability in wastewater treatment.

Photogenerated charge separation is a challenging step in semiconductor-based photosynthesis. Though numerous efforts have been devoted to developing multi-component photocatalyst heterostructures for improving charge separation efficiency, the short distance between electrons and holes-aggregated regions still leads to undesirable charge recombination. Herein, a facile and commercial in-situ synthesis method was designed to directly prepare a three-component Au–carbon–TiO 2 photocatalyst from Ti 3 C 2 MXene , air, CO 2 , and HAuCl 4 , in which the carbon layer bridged Au and TiO 2 nanoparticles for stable and efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. Kelvin probe measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that a multi-interfacial charge transmission network was successfully constructed to achieve a directional and long-distance spatial charge separation/transfer channel between TiO 2 and Au through carbon layer, desirably inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. The hydrogen production rate of the formed three-component Au/C–TiO 2 (CTA) photocatalyst was demonstrated to be 27 times higher than that of Au–TiO 2 , which also surpassed many reported Ti 3 C 2 MXene-derived carbon–TiO 2 photocatalysts. This work sheds light on the ingenious use of 2D MXene to form a well-behaved TiO 2 -based photocatalytic system and helps to propose future design principles in accelerating charge transfer.

The conflict between high sensitivity and wide sensing range greatly limits the extensive application of flexible pressure sensors. To produce a sensor with both high sensitivity and wide range is still a challenging work. Herein, flexible and highly sensitive piezoresistive sensors with wide sensing range are developed by combining the alkali-treated 3D crinkled MXene with microstructured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Sensors with different-roughness PDMS films as flexible substrate and the unprocessed MXene as the conductive material are prepared to clarify the geometric design for the ultra-wide pressure range (0–800 kPa). Then, other sensors assembled by NaOH-alkalized 3D crinkled MXenes and rough PDMS are fabricated to illustrate that the material optimization can further enhance the sensitivity (up to 1104.38 kPa −1 ). The sensor shows a low limit of detection (17 Pa), fast response time (100 ms), good cycle stability (3000 cycles, 300 kPa), and can detect over a wide pressure range from that of the tiny pills, pulse, heartbeat, throat vibration, and the change of water weight, exhibiting a broad prospect in health monitoring systems and human-machine interaction.
