As an influential antifouling material, photocatalytic materials have drawn attention increasingly over recent years owing to their potential bacteriostatic property in the domain of marine antifouling. Herein, a flower-like BiOI@CeO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 S-scheme photocatalyst was contrived and prepared by hydrothermal method . The innovative combination of Ti 3 C 2 and narrow band gap semiconductor BiOI was implemented to modify CeO 2 and the photocatalytic bacteriostatic mechanism of BiOI@CeO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 was elucidated. Schottky junction was formed between CeO 2 and Ti 3 C 2 , and a p-n junction was formed between CeO 2 and BiOI. By photoelectrochemical characterization, BCT-10 exhibits the best photoelectrochemical performance of which photogenerated carrier transport can be performed more readily at 10 % CeO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 addition. 99.76 % and 99.89 % of photocatalytic bacteriostatic efficiency of BCT-10 against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were implemented respectively, which were 2.98 and 3.07 times higher than that of pure CeO 2 . The ternary heterojunction can suppress photogenerated electron-hole complexes more effectively and enhance the photocatalytic bacteriostatic effect of CeO 2 , which also provided a new concept to the further broadened application of CeO 2 in the marine bacteriostatic and antifouling field.

Ti 3 C 2 MXene with dynamically-generated TiO 2 active site for boosting catalytic oxidative desulfurization has been researched. The two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 MXene, with abundant interface engineering and loosely layered structure, was synthesized through selectively etching of aluminum (Al) layer in Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX. The desulfurization activity of Ti 3 C 2 MXene is higher than that of bulk Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX. Compared with Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX, the expanded slit layer provides more pores and cavities to accelerate the mass transfer of the reaction. Also, the excellent dispersion and interfacial affinity are conducive to the further access of MXene with the substrate in diesel. More than 87% of sulfides in real diesel can be removed with Ti 3 C 2 MXene as the catalyst. Specifically, the dynamically-generated active sites originate from the continuous activation of molecular oxygen and Ti 3 C 2 MXene, which favors the enhance of catalytic activity. Meanwhile, by detecting and analyzing the oxidizing products of various aromatic sulfides, the results show that the MXene interlayers serve as a reaction micro-cavity and are beneficial to the adsorption and removal of the sulfone. This work not only illustrates that MXene can be used in thermally excited catalytic systems, but also provides an example around the construction of dynamically generated active sites to extend the life of the catalyst.

An innovative MnO/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heterostructure, consisting of three-dimensional (3D) MnO nanosheet array directly assembled on two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets, was synthesized via a simple hydrothermal-annealing strategy for uranium elimination. This unique 3D/2D heterostructure derived substantially high specific surface area (311.9 m 2 /g) and exposed considerable amount of surface oxygen groups, including surface lattice M–O and adsorbed –OH. Through a comprehensive exploration encompassing adsorbent dosage, pH, ionic strength, initial U(VI) concentration, and environmental conditions, the MnO/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heterostructure demonstrated an extraordinary proficiency and specificity in the removal of U(VI). This composite exhibited an outstanding adsorption capacity of 862.1 mg/g, with a removal efficiency of 99.7 % and rapid kinetics (above 90 % within 20 s). The kinetic study indicated the adsorption process followed chemisorption dynamics and single-layer adsorption behavior. Comprehensive analyses validated the structural integrity and confirmed the successful uranium adsorption via strong interaction between UO 2 2+ and surface unsaturated oxygen groups. Notably, the MnO/Ti 3 C 2 MXene maintained excellent recyclability, highlighting its potential for large-scale applications. It emerges as a promising candidate for uranium removal, offering insights for optimizing composite materials in diverse environmental conditions and fostering advancements in water purification technologies.

Ti3C2Tx holds great promise as an electrode material for high-capacitance supercapacitors, owing to its large specific surface area, pseudocapacitive behavior, and excellent electrical conductivity. However, the commonly used MILD synthesis method based on HCl/LiF etching introduces electrochemically inert −F terminations, which hinder ion storage and make the surface prone to oxidation. In this work, we report a modified MILD etching protocol using a significantly reduced LiF concentration under hydrothermal conditions at elevated temperatures. The lower LiF concentration and the higher etching temperature promote the formation of −O and minimize −F surface terminations. The resulting Ti3C2 film exhibits far fewer −F terminations than conventional films (Ti3C2–O1.37(OH)0.35F0.36·0.35H2O vs Ti3C2–O0.96(OH)0.39F0.75·0.47H2O). The oxygen-rich Ti3C2 film allows for enhanced proton-coupled electron transfer and reversible redox reactions in H2SO4, thus delivering a gravimetric capacitance of 511 F g–1 at 1 A g–1, 1.61 times higher than its counterpart obtained by conventional MILD method. The film retains 93.6% capacitance at 20 A g–1 and shows no performance degradation over 10,000 cycles. When assembled in asymmetric configuration with activated carbon, the device achieves a maximum energy density of 25.0 Wh kg–1 at 375 W kg–1 and maintains 15.4 Wh kg–1 at a high power density of 15,000 W kg–1. Devices with gel electrolyte also show good performance under practical conditions, including in parallel and series configurations as well as under bending deformation. This study presents a scalable strategy to tailor MXene surface chemistry for high-energy, high-power energy storage applications.

In the research of photocatalytic removal of VOCs, the mineralization rate of organic pollutants has been ignored. High mineralization rate means the reduction of intermediates, which is more conducive to environmental protection and photocatalysts stability. In this work, we successfully compounded conductive Ti 3 C 2 with TiO 2 for photocatalytic degradation of o-xylene. The production of CO 2 by 1 % Ti 3 C 2 -TiO 2 composite was about twice than that of pure TiO 2 . The results of PL and photocurrent response showed that 1 % Ti 3 C 2 -TiO 2 composite had less carrier recombination and higher photocurrent response, which endows its stronger photocatalytic oxidation ability than TiO 2 . The in-situ infrared spectroscopy revealed that more aromatic anhydride species deposited on the TiO 2 surface and led to the less mineralization degree for TiO 2 sample. The four-cycle tests further confirmed the better stability of 1 % Ti 3 C 2 -TiO 2 sample. This work disclosed the role of Ti 3 C 2 in enhancing the mineralization of VOCs, which may provide a new perspective for the design of high-efficiency photocatalysts.

Novel two-dimensional Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets were successfully prepared by etching Al from Ti3AlC2 in LiF/HCl system. In order to further improve the dispersing property and electrical conductivity of Ti3C2 nanosheets, Ti3C2/graphene oxide (Ti3C2-GO) nanocomposites were synthesized and applied for the fabrication of inkjet-printed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor. The results of electrochemical characterization show that the prepared sensor maintains the biological activity of hemoglobin (Hb) and can be applied to the practical detection. The printed sensors display a dynamic range from 2 μM to 1 mM and a detection limit of 1.95 μM with a high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for H2O2 determination. Therefore, the printable Ti3C2-GO nanocomposites are an excellent sensing platform for electrochemical determination.

A novel Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped Ti 3 C 2 /Ag/Ag 3 VO 4 composite with stable and robust photodegradation performance was synthesized by in-situ partially reduction along with hydrothermal strategy. In the composite, block-like Ag 3 VO 4 particles are self-assembled on the surface of 2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene accompanied by partial reduction of Ag + to Ag 0 . Photodegradation results showed that the resulting Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ co-doped Ti 3 C 2 /Ag/Ag 3 VO 4 composite with optimal Yb/Tm proportion (Y/T:0.3/0.005) presented a boosting photocatalytic performance for degradation of tetracycline (TC) and organic dyes under visible light irradiation. The removal efficiency was 97% for TC in 20 min, 96% for rhodamine B in 25 min, and 99% for methylene blue in 20 min, which was higher than that of Ag/Ag 3 VO 4 composite. As manifested by photoelectrochemical measurements, the enhanced photocatalytic performance of the Y/T:0.3/0.005 composite was attributed to the improved light absorption and excellent charge separation induced by the formation of intermediate energy states after co-doping Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ ions. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic mechanism of the photocatalyst was also investigated through electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra and trapping experiments, which verified that the active species of h + and ·O 2 − play the important role for photodegradation of tetracyline and organic dyes.

Photocatalytic CO2reduction holds great potential for sustainable solar fuel production, yet its practical application is often limited by inefficient charge separation and poor product selectivity. The photothermal effect presents a viable strategy to address these challenges by reducing activation energies and accelerating reaction kinetics. In this work, we report a rationally designed CN-B/Ti3C2heterojunction that effectively leverages photothermal promotion for enhanced CO2reduction. The black carbon nitride (CN-B) framework, synthesized via a one-step calcination of urea and Phloxine B, exhibits outstanding photothermal conversion, reaching 131.4 °C under 300 mW cm−2illumination, which facilitates CO2adsorption and charge separation. Coupled with Ti3C2MXene, the optimized composite (3:1) achieves remarkable CO and CH4production rates of 80.21 and 35.13 μmol g−1h−1, respectively, without any cocatalyst—representing a 2.9-fold and 8.8-fold enhancement over CN-B and g-C3N4in CO yield. Mechanistic studies reveal that the improved performance stems from synergistic effects: a built-in electric field prolongs charge carrier lifetime (3.15 ns) and reduces interfacial resistance, while localized heating under full-spectrum light further promotes CO2activation. In situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirms the accelerated formation of key intermediates (*COOH and *CO). The catalyst also maintains excellent stability over 24 h. This study demonstrates the promise of combining photothermal effects with heterojunction engineering for efficient and durable CO2photoreduction.

Research has demonstrated that the formation of composites of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) through the construction of heterojunctions can expand its light absorption range and suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, thereby improving the photocatalytic performance. However, this method offers only limited performance improvements, and the composite photocatalysts are costly due to the expensive Ag3PO4. In this study, Ti3C2MXene, which has good hydrophilicity and excellent electrical conductivity, is first used to form Schottky junction composites with bronze TiO2(TiO2(B)) via electrostatic self-assembly. Then, Ag3PO4quantum dots were further formed on the surface of the TiO2(B)/Ti3C2MXene by in situ self-growth, and Ag3PO4formed heterojunctions and Schottky junctions with TiO2(B) and Ti3C2MXene, respectively. Finally, a ternary composite photocatalyst TiO2(B)/Ti3C2MXene/Ag3PO4was jointly constructed by these functional junctions. Under the synergistic effect of these functional junctions, the mobility and fast separation performance of photogenerated electron–hole pairs of the composite photocatalyst were significantly improved, the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs was effectively suppressed, and the light absorption performance was enhanced. As a result, the composite photocatalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic performances.Keywords:ternary composite photocatalyst;heterojunction;photocatalytic degradation;bronze TiO2;Ti3C2MXene

2H phase MoS2 with a two-dimensional nanostructure, high chemical stability and large theoretical capacity has been considered as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, some practical problems hinder the direct use of 2H-MoS2 for lithium storage, such as its volume expansion effect that leads to capacity loss and its semiconductor properties that cannot provide sufficient conductivity. Herein, the surface of an MXene with abundant surface groups was modified with CTAB to promote its ability to adsorb MoO42− anions, and then 2H-MoS2 with a few layers was directly grown on the surface of MXene sheets vertically. Thanks to the conductive MXene sheets and the vertically-supported high-capacity MoS2 on them, the as-obtained composite MXene@MoS2 offers enhanced performance in specific capacity, long cycling stability and high rate capability. A reversible specific capacity of 1198 mA h g−1 was retained after 100 cycles at 200 mA g−1 and a specific capacity of 717 mA h g−1 was exhibited at 8000 mA g−1.

Graphical In the present study, the blue fluorescent L-Cys@Ti 3 C 2 MQDs are synthesized using hydrothermal methods, and the preparation process is simple, rapid, and mild. The fluorescence of L-Cys@Ti 3 C 2 MQDs can be effectively quenched by Ag + through a static quenching mechanism, demonstrating high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for Ag + detection. MXene quantum dots (MQDs), an emerging zero-dimensional nanomaterial, have garnered significant attention from researchers due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. In this study, cysteine-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal methods, resulting in the functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs exhibiting intense blue fluorescence attributed to size-dependent effects and surface defects. Furthermore, the cysteine-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent emission behavior and serve as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for Ag + detection with an impressive low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.015 μM. Moreover, they demonstrate exceptional sensitivity and selectivity in determining Ag + . This study presents a novel approach for the detection of Ag + and highlights the immense potential of cysteine-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs in environmental applications.
