With the development of electronic products to miniaturization and high frequency, high-performance flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are urgently needed to deal with electromagnetic pollution. Two-dimensional transition metal carbide/polyimide (Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/PI) films were synthesized by in situ polymerization and a simple scratch method in this paper. The Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets give the films good EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) and electrical conductivity . Specifically, the film with a thickness of 0.11 mm (Ti 3 C 2 T x content of 30 wt%) exhibits an EMI SE of 34.73 dB and a specific EMI SE (SE/thickness) of 315.73 dB/mm in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band). In addition, the films have a tensile strength of 67.58 MPa, and a high decomposition temperature of 510 ℃ in N 2 atmosphere. Therefore, we believe that the prepared Ti 3 C 2 T x /PI films with good comprehensive performance have enormous potential in the field of lightweight and flexible EMI shielding materials.

Photocatalytic degradation is an eco-friendly technology for volatile organic compound (VOC) removal, but searching for a highly efficient photocatalyst system remains a challenge. Here, a novel photocatalyst , ZnO/Ti 3 C 2 T X composite, was developed by the electrostatic deposition strategy, wherein Ti 3 C 2 T X nanosheets serve as a support to provide abundant surface-active sites for loading ZnO spheres and adsorbing VOC molecules. Furthermore, successive catalytic centers are formed to enlarge the photocatalytic reaction interface , thereby minimizing the photogenerated electron transfer distances. Moreover, a Schottky heterojunction was successfully formed between the ZnO spheres and Ti 3 C 2 T X nanosheets , which further suppressed the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. As a result, the ZnO/Ti 3 C 2 T X composite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity , universality and stability in VOCs degradation. The photodegradation efficiencies of formaldehyde, methyl alcohol and acetone were as high as 91 %, 84 % and 80 % by ZnO/Ti 3 C 2 T X composite, respectively. The pseudo-first-order kinetic constant of formaldehyde decomposition on ZnO/Ti 3 C 2 T X was 2.69 times greater than that on pristine ZnO. This work presents a novel photocatalyst system of ZnO/Ti 3 C 2 T X composite and provides an insight for the development of highly efficient photocatalysts for the degradation of VOCs.

High-performance microwave absorption materials are considered to be an effective solution to the increasing electromagnetic pollution. In this work, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene@NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) derived multi-interfacial FeNi 3 /TiN@nitrogen-doped carbon (NC)@magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotube composites were prepared by a hydrothermal process and subsequent carbothermal reduction. The phase compositions, morphology, defects and electromagnetic parameters of the composites can be regulated by the thermal treatment temperature. The reflection loss value of the composite with a thickness of only 1.6 mm can reach − 43.75 dB when the heat treatment temperature is 900 °C, and the effective absorption bandwidth is 5.5 GHz with a thickness of 2.12 mm when the heat treatment temperature is 700 °C. The synergistic effects among the associated dielectric loss, magnetic loss and the impedance matching of the samples are also systematically investigated. This work provides a new perspective and an effective approach for acquiring MXene hybrids derived high-performance microwave absorbing materials.

At present, the rapid development of electronic devices such as batteries, sensors, capacitors and so on is creating a huge demand for lightweight materials with a designed structure and function. Ti3C2TxMXene, a lightweight two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial with excellent electronic properties, has been favored in this field. In this work, Ti3C2TxMXene was annealed under an inert gas (N2, Ar and CO2) atmosphere to design the crystal structure and interface of the nanosheets, and then the modified nanosheets with specific changes in dielectric properties were obtained. Among them, the key temperature points (100 °C, 300 °C, 500 °C and 800 °C) in the thermogravimetric (TG) test under an air atmosphere were used as the annealing temperature. When annealing under an air atmosphere, with the increase in temperature, the Ti layer gradually oxidized and evaporated, and the original two-dimensional structure was partly destroyed with some of the C atoms reacting with O2to form CO2. In the inert gas atmosphere, however, the 2D structure is preserved, except that the surface end groups and layer spacing are changed. In addition, some N element doping was introduced into the nanosheets after N2atmosphere treatment, which changed the original lattice structure. After the Ar atmosphere treatment, some Ti atoms on the surface were oxidized in situ to form TiO2grains with different crystal forms, which increased the interfacial area. The C-TiO2structure of the nanosheets was more complete after treatment with the CO2atmosphere. All the nanosheets after heat treatment with an inert gas atmosphere retained the characteristic morphology of 2D materials, and different changes in the micro-structure caused changes in dielectric properties, thereby meeting the needs of 2D nanomaterials Ti3C2TxMXene in different scenarios.

Two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets have been identified as promising for constructing ultrathin laminar nanostructures with nanoscale water transport channels for water purification. Herein, ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via coupling ZnO nanoflowers to the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based laminar nanostructure, which exhibited photocatalytic self-cleaning properties driven by visible light for enhanced organic dye removal. The physicochemical properties and NF performance with and without photocatalytic treatment were systematically characterized. The prepared ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene NF membrane could reject 95.44% Congo red (CR) and demonstrated an excellent water permeability of 138.81 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 (LMH/bar). In comparison to the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene membrane and the same amount of ZnO powders, the ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene membrane demonstrated higher photodegradation performance to 10 ppm MB. Impressively, the membrane showed an enhanced separation performance for 6 cycles with a RhB rejection > 88.48% and a permeability of 138.69 LMH/bar. Lastly, the synergistic photocatalytic mechanism of ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene composite nanostructure was investigated. Such results may offer a novel insight for the fabrication of laminar structured Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based NF membranes with photocatalytic induced anti-fouling performance for enhanced dye water purification.

Flexible sensors require good tensile properties, flexibility, and enough sensitivity for monitoring and transmitting subtle strain changes in motion. Here, the MXene-sodium alginate-acrylamide (MSA) composite hydrogel was synthesized by polymerization of acrylamide (AM), Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets, and sodium alginate (SA). Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and elemental mapping demonstrated a uniform dispersion of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets in the composite hydrogel regime. The strong hydrogen bonding interactions between Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets and SA–AM polymers were verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analysis. The prepared M20S2.5A hydrogel had 4350% limited tensile strain and fractured energies up to 359.51 J m–2 and significant hysteresis in cyclic loading–unloading experiments, indicating its excellent energy dissipation performance. The conductivity of the M20S2.5A hydrogel had a good linear response (1300–3500%) with the stretch distance and a fast response time of 0.27 s. At the same time, MSA hydrogels have high sensitivity (GF = 2.31). These advantages allowed it to real-time monitor the random motion of the human body such as throat swallowing, finger bending, and knee flexion and extension. The present study showed great potentials of the MSA hydrogel in flexible wearable devices.

SnSe-based materials, comprising nontoxic, eco-friendly and abundant elements, have intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity , which are promising candidates for thermoelectric conversion. However, unmodified, polycrystalline SnSe reveals poor electrical transport properties due to the lower carrier mobility . Herein, two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene has been incorporated into SnSe matrix by solution synthesis and fast consolidation, which efficiently increases the carrier mobility and concentration; accordingly, the electrical conductivity is improved in the temperature range of 323–523 K. Meanwhile, SnSe/Ti 3 C 2 T x composites achieve diminished lattice thermal conductivity, delivering a low value of 0.41 W m −1 K −1 at 773 K. Ultimately, a peak zT of 0.93 at 773 K is attained in SnSe/Ti 3 C 2 T x composite with addition of 0.3 wt% Ti 3 C 2 T x , representing a 66% increase compared to that of SnSe. This work sheds light on the thermoelectric performance improvement of polycrystalline SnSe by controllably incorporating two-dimensional MXene.

In this paper, the Ti 3 C 2 T x /CuO nanocomposites were successfully prepared by an environment-friendly and simple hydrothermal method . The synthetics are evaluated using a series of characterization techniques, such as XRD , SEM, TEM , XPS , FTIR, UV–vis, and BET techniques. The results show that Ti 3 C 2 T x /CuO nanocomposites are mesoporous and have a higher specific surface area than Ti 3 C 2 T x , confirming the presence of more gas adsorption/diffusion regions. Furthermore, the Ti 3 C 2 T x with the introduction of CuO has rich oxygen vacancies and adsorbed oxygen. In particular, the response of Ti 3 C 2 T x /CuO sensor (56.99%) is 5 times higher than that of Ti 3 C 2 T x (11.17%) sensor to 50 ppm NO 2 at room temperature (RT). Especially, the Ti 3 C 2 T x /CuO sensor exhibits ultra-fast response/recovery time (16.6/31.3 s to 20 ppm NO 2 ), great reversibility , outstanding selectivity to NO 2 , and desirable long-term stability (over 40 days). The enhanced gas sensing performance may be attributed to the formation of hybrid heterojunctions between CuO and Ti 3 C 2 T x that provide carrier migration channels to hasten the redox reaction . At the same time, Ti 3 C 2 T x /CuO possesses more oxygen vacancies and adsorbed oxygen than Ti 3 C 2 T x , which will reduce the required energy for gas adsorption to further enhance the gas sensing performance. Hopefully, the above improved gas sensing performance indicators modified with CuO are expected to become the advantage of constructing Ti 3 C 2 T x -based sensor, which will be put into commercial NO 2 detection in the future.

Low interlaminar shear stress, high mechanical strength, and tunable structure make Ti3C2Tx MXene a burgeoning star as solid lubricants and lubricant additives. Although surface modification strategy can improve its compatibility with base oils, it will eventually settle due to gravity. Additionally, base oils are prone to leakage, creep, and volatilization, which limit their application. To address these issues, supramolecular gels with surface-modified Ti3C2Tx were conceived. Apart from the lubrication effect, the high thermal conductivity of Ti3C2Tx MXene accelerated the phase transition rate of supramolecular gels. The thermal-reversible and creep-resistant properties distinguish them from other conventional lubricants. The tribological tests showed that the 500 solvent neutral (SN) supramolecular gel with 0.10 wt % Ti3C2Tx-octadecylphosphonic acid (Ti3C2Tx-ODPA) reduced the coefficient of friction (COF) by 46.32% and wear volume by 81.18% compared with pure 500SN oil. Moreover, they also performed well in load-carrying capacity, temperature tolerance, and speed adaptability. This work puts forward a new approach to prepare MXene-based lubricants tailored for some severe lubrication conditions. These exceptional features enable their application in rolling bearings, some gears, and other low maintenance mechanisms.

MXenes have shown potential applications in electrochemical energy storage due to their high electrical conductivity, pseudocapcitance, and two-dimensional layered structures with a regulatable interlayer spacing. The intercalation strategy is generally a supplementary and even indispensable process for high-quality MXenes, and it can greatly influence the properties of MXenes. Here, we applied four universal intercalants to adjust the interlayer spacing, among which tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH) resulted in MXenes with a largest interlayer spacing of 16.58 Å. Furthermore, the intercalants can influence the surface terminal groups, which had an important effect on the electrochemical properties of MXenes. The TBAOH-intercalated MXene showed the highest specific capacitance (391.0 F g–1 at 2 mV s–1), good rate performance, and excellent cycling stability (96.3% at 10,000 cycles), which was attributed to its vastly expanded layered structure and abundant surface terminal groups, and the capacitance contributions were found to arise more from the surface capacitive effect process than from the diffusion-controlled process. This work demonstrates that the intercalation strategy of MXenes should be intensively investigated to understand the complicated processes including interlayer spacing and surface chemistry, and it may guide the selection of an intercalation strategy for energy storage and other applications based on MXenes.

As a recently emerging 2D material, Ti3C2TX MXene, with some distinct characters, might bring opportunities for developing advanced microwave absorption materials (MAMs). Although the multilayered MXene with an accordion-like structure has been used as the building blocks to obtain composite MAMs, the exfoliated MXene (eMXene) nanosheets have rarely been explored. Herein, we construct a hierarchically structured MXene-based composite by simultaneously decorating magnetic nanosheets/particles onto eMXene sheets for an efficient microwave absorption. Systematic ex situ characterizations reveal that the eMXene sheets can act as a structure-directing agent and host to allow an interlaced growth of ultrathin CoO nanosheets and spherical Co@C nanoparticles onto their surfaces. Such structural design impedes the agglomeration of eMXene sheets and magnetic nanounits while guaranteeing the adequate exposure of polar functional groups on MXene surfaces. Meanwhile, the introduction of dual magnetic phases enables an additional magnetic loss capability and also builds massive void spaces and rich heterointerfaces between various nanounits for a significantly enhanced dielectric polarization loss, resulting in a superior impedance matching and attenuation capability. Accordingly, the optimal composite exhibits a minimum reflection loss of −73.4 dB at a thin thickness of 2.1 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth up to 5.6 GHz (12.4–18.0 GHz) at a thin thickness of 1.8 mm. This study might stimulate the further development of exfoliated MXene-based composite microwave absorbers with hierarchical structures.

Developing antibiotics-independent antibacterial materials is of great importance for combating drug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MXene (transition metal carbides and nitrides), a class of novel 2D nanomaterials , has shown great potentials in biomedical areas. However, the effect of MXene size on its properties and bioactivity is still unknown. Herein, we report for the first time that the antibacterial photothermal therapy efficacy of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets is size-dependent. Three MXene suspensions with small size of 196 nm (MX-s), medium size of 347 nm (MX-m) and large size of 497 nm (MX-l) were prepared via ultrasonication. Upon NIR irradiation for 5 min, the temperature of MXene suspensions (10 μg/mL) increased to 64, 60 and 56 °C for MX-s, MX-m and MX-l, respectively. Accordingly, the viability loss of MRSA induced by MX-s, MX-m and MX-l under NIR was 93%, 69% and 56%, respectively. The in vivo study in the MRSA-infected mouse model showed that the photothermal therapy efficacy of MX-s was comparable to that of the positive control vancomycin . This is the first report on the size-dependent photothermal effect and photothermal antibacterial activity of MXene, which may guide the development of MXene-based therapeutics in the future. In addition, the drug-free antibacterial therapy has great implications for the treatment of antibiotics-resistant bacteria infections.
