Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and MXene have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional pseudocapacitance and electrical conductivity that are viable in energy storage applications. Nevertheless, the challenge of self-restacking between the 2D material surfaces and the tendency of MXene to oxidise has posed obstacles to their further utilisation. This prompted researchers to use cellulose nanofibre (CNF) as a prospective “bridge” to connect the two materials. This approach has been shown to prevent MXene from oxidising while facilitating GO conversion into rGO via reduction. Consequently, 3D macroporous Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/cellulose nanofibres/reduced graphene oxide (MCG) aerogels have been successfully prepared. A breakthrough in solving the self-stacking problem and creating a sensibly designed 3D macroporous electrode structure has yielded excellent electrochemical capabilities for MCG aerogel electrodes. Specifically at 1.0 mW cm −2 power density, these electrodes have demonstrated an outstanding performance in 5000 cycles with 79.4% retention rate, favourable areal specific capacitance of 671 mF cm −2 and unparalleled energy density of 60.9 mWh cm −2 . Overall, this study offers significant perspectives on the possible uses of 2D materials, especially in terms of adjusting their structure and functionality.

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) stands as an essential modality for craniomaxillofacial bone defect repair, yet challenges like mechanical weakness, inappropriate degradability, limited bioactivity, and intricate manufacturing of GBR membranes hindered the clinical efficacy. Herein, we developed a Janus bacterial cellulose(BC)/MXene membrane through a facile vacuum filtration and etching strategy. This Janus membrane displayed an asymmetric bilayer structure with interfacial compatibility, where the dense layer impeded cell invasion and the porous layer maintained stable space for osteogenesis. Incorporating BC with Ti 3 C 2 Tx MXene significantly enhanced the mechanical robustness and flexibility of the material, enabling clinical operability and lasting GBR membrane supports. It also contributed to a suitable biodegradation rate, which aligned with the long-term bone repair period. After demonstrating the desirable biocompatibility, barrier role, and osteogenic capability in vitro , the membrane's regenerative potential was also confirmed in a rat cranial defect model. The excellent bone repair performance could be attributed to the osteogenic capability of MXene nanosheets, the morphological cues of the porous layer, as well as the long-lasting, stable regeneration space provided by the GBR membrane. Thus, our work presented a facile, robust, long-lasting, and biodegradable BC/MXene GBR membrane, offering a practical solution to craniomaxillofacial bone defect repair.

Succinonitrile has shown significant promise for application in polymer electrolytes for solid-state lithium metal batteries due to its high ionic conductivity at low-temperature. However, the use of Succinonitrile is limited due to its corrosion of Li metal. Herein, we report a solid polymer electrolyte with high ionic conductivity (2.17 × 10 −3 S cm −1 , 35 °C) enhanced by Ti 3 C 2 T x . Corrosion of the Li anode is prevented due to the Succinonitrile molecules being efficiently anchored by Ti 3 C 2 T x . Meanwhile, the coordination environment of Li + is weakened due to the introduction of competitive coordination induction effects into the polymer electrolyte, resulting in efficient Li + conduction. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the electrolyte are enhanced by modulating the ratio of Ti 3 C 2 T x to suppress the growth of Li dendrites. Therefore, Li||Li symmetric batteries deliver stable cycling up to 8000 h at 28 °C. LiFePO 4 ||Li full batteries exhibit excellent cycling stability of 151.7 mAh g −1 with a capacity retention of 99.3% after 300 cycles. This work not only presents a new idea to suppress the corrosion of the Li anode by Succinonitrile but also provides a simple, feasible, and scalable strategy for high-performance Li metal batteries.

The 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene anchored with magnetic particles has garnered significant attention due to its superior electromagnetic shielding performance and low reflection coefficient. However, current research on MXene-anchored magnetic particles faces several challenges, including complex fabrication processes, difficulty in controlling compositional ratios, the predominant use of spherical magnetic particles. In this work, by employing surfactants, FeCo alloy and Ni flakes were uniformly anchored onto MXene, the preparation process of the composite is simple and facilitates better control over the ratios of individual samples. Due to the unique structure formed by the intercalation of FeCo alloy and Ni flakes within the MXene layers, M-FC-N-35 exhibits an average electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of 61.2 dB within the Ku-band and maintains a reflection coefficient as low as 0.69. Additionally, the M-FC-N-35 composite was applied to the surface of the temperature sensor casing. It was found that under an electromagnetic field strength of 200 V/m and within a frequency range of 6–18 GHz, the temperature measurement deviation was reduced to 9.35 % of that of the sensor without the shielding material, demonstrating high electromagnetic interference resistance. This work provides guidance for simplifying the fabrication process of MXene composites with magnetic metals and enriching the system of electromagnetic shielding materials.

Lithium‑sulfur (Li S) batteries are regarded as a potential candidate of next-generation energy storage devices. However, the poor long-term cycling performance arose from shuttle effect remains a challenge. The recent studies have shown that two dimensional (2D) MXenes have great potential in high efficient Li S cells due to strong adsorption ability for lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and effective catalytic activity for rapid kinetics. Herein, a polypropylene separator modified by a three-dimensional (3D) TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene@CNTs heterostructure using sulfur templates combined with H 2 O 2 partial oxidation treatment is proposed to alleviate the shuttle effect and improve the overall utilization efficiency of sulfur in Li S batteries. The as-prepared separator effectively enhances the LiPSs trapping ability and significantly reduces the oxidation overpotential of Li 2 S, demonstrating high catalytic efficiency and sufficient conductivity to promote the transformation of LiPS to Li 2 S and thus accelerating the transformation kinetics of Li S batteries. Remarkably, the TiO 2 -MX@CNTs modified separator with 1.3 mg cm −2 sulfur loading enables a stable capacity of 859 mAh g −1 after 300 cycles at 1C with a capacity decay rate of approximately 0.035 % per cycle, suggesting promising potential for practical applications. This work presents a new method to regulate the electrochemical performance of Li S batteries.

Three-dimensional sphere covalent organic framework (3D-S-COF) membranes have received increasing attention in the field of oily wastewater and industrial organic matter due to their rich pore structure as well as having many exposed functional group sites. However, the synthesis of conventional imine COF through the Schiff base method, which suffers from the easy hydrolysis under organic solvent conditions. Herein, a novel super-wettable MXene/3D-S-COF composite membrane for oil–water emulsion separation was prepared by depositing MXene nanosheets on oxidized amide COF from the imine COF. The hydroxyl groups of the COF membrane not only improved the water permeability but also formed hydrogen bonds with the MXene layer, which enhanced the interaction and formed the high stability composite membrane. The porous 3D-S-COF and the zigzag MXene layer work synergistically to enable emulsion fluxes up to 240 L·m −2 h −1 bar −1 and the separation efficiency is more than 98 %. In addition, the residual mass of the composite membrane remained above 95 % after 10 days of immersion in various solvents, and it also has photocatalytic properties and good resistance to fouling. This study provides a brand new idea for the use of MXene/3D-S-COF based composite membrane for oil–water emulsion separation.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising technique for sensitive detection. The design and optimization of plasma-enhanced structures for SERS applications is an interesting challenge. In this study, we found that the SERS activity of MXene (Ti3C2Tx) can be improved by adding Au nanoparticles (NPs) in a simple photoreduction process. Fluoride-salt-etched MXene was deposited by drop-casting on a glass slide, and Au NPs were formed by the photocatalytic growth of gold(III) chloride trihydrate solutions under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The Au–MXene substrate formed by Au NPs anchored on the Ti3C2Txsheet produced significant SERS through the synergistic effect of chemical and electromagnetic mechanisms. The structure and size of the Au-decorated MXene depended on the reaction time. When the MXene films were irradiated with a large number of UV photons, the size of the Au NPs increased. Hot spots were formed in the nanoscale gaps between the Au NPs, and the abundant surface functional groups of the MXene effectively adsorbed and interacted with the probe molecules. Simultaneously, as a SERS substrate, the proposed Au–MXene composite exhibited a wider linear range of 10−4–10−9mol/L for detecting carbendazim. In addition, the enhancement factor of the optimized SERS substrate Au–MXene was 1.39 × 106, and its relative standard deviation was less than 13%. This study provides a new concept for extending experimental strategies to further improve the performance of SERS.

Terahertz (THz) electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with superior performance are urgently needed with the development of THz electronic devices. Herein, a photocured Ti3C2Tx MXene/SiOC ceramic (MSiOC) composite with a sandwich-like structure was prepared using a photosensitive resin as a precursor. In addition, the EMI shielding properties of the MSiOC composite with a low mass loading of the MXene were greatly improved. The influence of the content of Ti3C2Tx MXenes on the EMI shielding properties of the MSiOC composite was studied, and its EMI shielding mechanism was further elucidated. The resultant MSiOC composite exhibited an average shielding effectiveness (SET) of 24.5 dB in the frequency range of 0.2–1.6 THz at a MXene mass loading of only 0.3 wt%, which was remarkably improved by 53% compared to pure SiOC. In addition, the MSiOC composite with a broad high-absorptivity frequency band showed an absorption-dominated THz EMI shielding mechanism. This result proved that the synergistic effect of the MXene and SiOC was responsible for the high attenuation capability of MSiOC for THz waves. Finally, MSiOC with customized structures was easily fabricated via vat photopolymerization 3D printing, followed by a pyrolysis process. The smallest feature size of these structures was about 140 μm. Moreover, the flexible photocured green part could be secondary molded, which improved the structural controllability of the composite. Our work provides insights into the rational design of MXene-based composites for new-generation THz EMI shielding materials.

Since 2019, research into MXene derivatives has seen a dramatic rise; further progress requires a rational design for specific functionality. Herein, through a molecular design by selecting suitable functional groups in the MXene coating, we have implemented the dual N doping of the derivatives, nitrogen-doped TiO 2 @nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (N-TiO 2 @NC), to strike a balance between the active anatase TiO 2 at low temperatures, and carbon activation at high temperatures. The NH 3 reduction environment generated at 400 °C as evidenced by the in situ pyrolysis SVUV-PIMS process is crucial for concurrent phase engineering. With both electrical conductivity and surface Na + availability, the N-TiO 2 @NC achieves higher interface capacitive-like sodium storage with long-term stability. More than 100 mAh g −1 is achieved at 2 A g −1 after 5000 cycles. The proposed design may be extended to other MXenes and solidify the growing family of MXene derivatives for energy storage.

2D MXene can prevent the penetration of corrosive media and can contribute to the improvement of corrosion resistance performance. However, achieving its uniform dispersion in the polymer matrix is challenging due to its large specific surface area and rapid aggregation. In this study, stable dispersion of polydopamine functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MXene (PDA-TM) hybrid in the waterborne epoxy (WEP) matrix was achieved via in-situ polymerization of the PDA layer on the surface of TM. The Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of PDA-TM showed the blue shift of O-H bond at 3438 cm −1 and the Ti-O bond of TM at 612 cm −1 . The characteristic peak of PDA-TM in the XRD pattern appeared at 2θ = 3.9° and the PDA bulge became smaller. Both proved the successful synthesis of PDA and TM. The surface wrinkles of the PDA-TM of SEM became more pronounced, and the smooth surface became rougher. This was due to the in-situ polymerization of DA on the surface of TM, which was conducive to avoid tight stacking of TM and expand its interlayer spacing. In addition, The WEP nanocomposite coating showed high impact resistance, strong adhesion, flexibility, and wear resistance. Moreover, PDA-TM decreased the glass transition temperature of WEP from 128.0 to 95.4 °C and improved the reflection loss for electromagnetic wave absorption properties. Furthermore, the |Z| 0.01Hz value of the PDA-TM 0.5 % (6.072 × 10 5 Ω cm 2 ) coating was approximately 6 times higher compared to that of the WEP coating after 30-d immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The friction coefficient was also a quarter of neat WEP. This indicated that embedding a small amount of PDA functionalized TM nanosheets into WEP coating could improve obviously the corrosion resistance and wear resistance properties. The present research will provide a theoretical basis for the use of TM in the field of anticorrosion and electromagnetic wave absorption.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for producing hydrogen through electrochemical water splitting using renewable energy sources. To enhance hydrogen production efficiency, an electrocatalyst with high efficiency and stability for OER is necessary. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are among the most active electrocatalysts for alkaline OER, but LDHs suffer from poor conductivity, potential agglomeration, and low intrinsic activity. Herein, sulfur–phosphorus codoping of CoFeLDH/MXene (S,P-CoFeLDH/MXene) nanoarray hybrid electrocatalyst was developed using a stripped Ti3C2Tx MXene substrate through an in situ growth strategy and sulfur–phosphorus codoping. The S,P-CoFeLDH/MXene electrocatalyst demonstrated remarkable activity and stability against oxygen evolution in alkaline media, with a low overpotential of 305 mV at 10 mA cm–2 and a Tafel slope of 39 mV dec–1. Moreover, the overpotential decreased by only 1.3% after 2000 CV cycles, surpassing the noble metal RuO2 catalyst. This effective strategy introduces an idea for a hybrid electrocatalyst designed for oxygen evolution, and the direct preparation method lays the groundwork for its broad application.

Rapid activation of sodium persulfate (SPS) for the degradation of C.I. Reactive Red 218 (RR218) was achieved using Ti 3 C 2 MXene reduction of trace Fe 3+ . The degradation rate of RR218 reached 97.7% using a mixture containing 3 g L −1 of SPS, 3.35 mg L −1 of Fe 3+ and 60 mg L −1 of MXene stirred at 25 °C for 30 min. The intense reduction of Ti 3 C 2 MXene triggers the Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycle thereby accelerating the activation of SPS. When reactive dyes were degraded by Fe 3+ /SPS/MXene process, ·OH played a major role. The dye degradation capacity of the Fe 3+ /SPS/MXene process decreased after 5 cycles of recycling. In addition, the wastewater treated under these conditions resulted in high dyeing efficiencies in reuse experiments. This study not only improves the understanding of the catalytic reaction of MXene but also provides a wastewater treatment and reuse process with low metal consumption and high efficiency.
