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.

The presented work compared the etching behavior between combustion synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 (SHS-Ti 3 AlC 2 ) and pressureless synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 (PLS-Ti 3 AlC 2 ). Because the former had a more compact structure, it was harder to be etched than PLS-Ti 3 AlC 2 under the same conditions. When served as anode material for Li-ion batteries, SHS-Ti 3 C 2 showed much lower capacity than PLS-Ti 3 C 2 at 1 C (52.7 and 87.4 mAh g −1 , respectively) due to the smaller d -spacing. Furthermore, Potentiostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (PITT) was used to determine the Li-ion chemical diffusion coefficient ( D Li + ) of Ti 3 C 2 in the range of 10 −10 − 10 −9 cm 2 s −1 , indicating that Ti 3 C 2 could exhibit an excellent diffusion mobility for Li-ion.

Achieving higher energy storage and controllable energy release processes is the major research goal in solid propellants . Combustion catalysts are applied to modify the energy release behavior of solid propellants but at the expense of lowering the total energy density of the propellants owing to their non-energetic feature. Here, with ammonium perchlorate (AP) based propellant as proof-of-concept material, we demonstrate a reactive combustion catalyst strategy based on the clever use of the novel structure of Ti 3 C 2 MXene , including appropriate reactivity, high energy storage, and large specific surface area. It is found that the Ti 3 C 2 MXene could first react with AP as fuel, releasing large amount of heat and in-situ generating TiO x /C nanosheets . The resulting TiO x /C nanosheets can further catalyze the thermal decomposition of AP by accelerating both electron and proton transfer during AP decomposition. As expected, the Ti 3 C 2 MXene not only improves the pyrolysis reaction kinetics of AP based composites, but also increases the energy output of the propellants. The development of reactive catalysts with excellent catalytic activity and increased energy release provides a new strategy for the design of solid propellants.

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.

Quantum dots functionalization has been proven to be a simple modification strategy for improving the electroanalytical performance of two-dimensional electrode materials by increasing the specific surface area and active reaction sites. Herein, a new electrochemical sensing platform was fabricated by SnO2 quantum dot-functionalized Ti3C2 MXene (Ti3C2-SnO2QDs) for the highly sensitive detection of Sudan I in food. Ti3C2-SnO2QDs were prepared via in situ synthesis, which can control the nucleation and growth of SnO2QDs, resulting in the well-dispersed SnO2QDs with 2–3 nm size on the intersheet surface of MXene. Moreover, the formation of Ti3C2-SnO2QDs can effectively restrict the aggregation of Ti3C2 and improve the stability of SnO2QDs in aquatic environment. The prepared nanocomposite can be used as an improved modified material to further increase the electrocatalytic performance and electrochemical signal of Sudan I on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. Under optimized conditions, the proposed analytical method displayed a linear dependence for Sudan I concentration ranging from 0.008 to 10 μM with a detection limit of 0.27 nM (S/N = 3) by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry. This sensor with excellent selectivity, reproducibility and accuracy was quantitatively validated in commercial ketchup and chili powder. This Ti3C2-SnO2QDs-based Sudan I sensor is expected to expand the application of MXene nanocomposites in electrochemical analysis and is envisioned as a promising candidate for monitoring illegal food additives in real food samples.

Regulating the separation and transport capabilities of the photocarriers is an important strategy to enhance corresponding activity of photocatalysts. In this work, novel Ti-MOF/Ti 3 C 2 heterojunction with face-to-face intimate contact was design and synthesized through a hydrothermal assemble route. The negatively charged Ti 3 C 2 not only facile the absorb of Ti nodes but also offer rich nucleation sites for the in-situ growth Ti-MOF. Under visible light irradiation, the optimized TM-0.05 exhibited exceptional photocatalytic activity and reusability during tetracycline photocatalytic degradation process. The rate constant reaches 1.83 × 10 −2 min −1 over TM-0.05, which was 5.3 times and 2.3 times higher than that of sole Ti-MOF and Ti 3 C 2 , respectively. Combined photoelectric characterization confirmed the improved photocatalytic activity was predominantly due to the excellent conductivity of Ti 3 C 2 and the tight interface connection between the two semiconductors, thus accelerating the interfacial charge separation and transport. Scavenger experiments, EPR, and LC-MS analysis confirmed the key role of •O 2 - , •OH and photogenerated holes during tetracycline degradation, and finally a possible mechanism was postulated. This work provides a new approach for constructing MOF/MXene structures via in situ self-assembly strategy, and expand their application in refractory pollutants photocatalytic degradation process.

Kanamycin (KANA), a widely used antibiotic associated with foodborne disease, requires accurate monitoring solutions. This study presents a novel ultrasensitive electrochemical aptasensor for KANA quantification using a signal amplification method. The sensing platform was constructed with Cu/Al-MOF@Ti 3 C 2 nanocomposites as the support and incorporated aptamers specifically recognizing KANA. Among them, Cu/Al-MOF provided a high specific surface area for anchoring a large number of aptamers, Ti 3 C 2 was used to enhance the conductivity of the aptasensor, the aptamers have been used for the improvement of the sensitivity of the aptasensor, and the insertion of Cu/Al-MOF into Ti 3 C 2 sheets effectively prevents stacking between Ti 3 C 2 sheets. In the context of KANA, the specific recognition of the aptamer led to a decrease in the electrochemical signal. Under optimal conditions, the logarithm of the electrochemical output signal versus KANA concentration was linear over the range of 10 fM to 100 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.74 fM. In addition, the aptasensor showed excellent accuracy and high reproducibility and has been successfully employed in actual samples, enabling the detection of a wide range of targets by simply replacing the matching aptamer.

Powerful yet orderly nanostructure lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are eagerly desired to satisfy the practical application of portable electronics and smart grids. However, the surface re-stacking and surface functionalization on the MXenes in the anode electrode severely restrict the accessibility to electrolyte ions, hindering the full utilization of their intrinsic properties. To address this challenge, we rationally design three-dimensional (3D) Sn@Ti 3 C 2 materials and fabricate them in a unique layer-by-layer manner through self-assembly for boosting LIBs. In this design system for fast lithium-ion storage, the Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets serving as 3D scaffolds buffer the severe volume expansion and agglomeration of Sn nanoparticles (NPs) and enhance electrode conductivity at the interface. Furthermore, Sn NPs are embedded as interlayer spacers to prevent nanosheet re-stacking and provide outstanding electrochemical performance . The nanostructure can increase the lithium-ion diffusion coefficient and create additional active sites. As a result, the Sn@Ti 3 C 2 anode exhibits a superior specific capacity up to 666 mA∙h∙g −1 at 0.5 A∙g −1 after 250 cycles. Compared with pure Sn NPs, the improved electrochemical performance of Sn@Ti 3 C 2 can be ascribed to the high electronic conductivity of Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets . The 3D Sn@Ti 3 C 2 materials prepared in a layer-by-layer manner through self-assembly display promising performances for LIBs.

To stabilize the layer structures of MXenes, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been successfully grown in situ by a facile microwave irradiation method under ambient conditions. The synthesized composites based on various MXenes including Ti3C2, Ti2C and V2C exhibited hybrid structures with uniformly distributed multi-walled CNTs anchored on the layer structured MXene networks. Benefiting from the unique structural features, these composites exhibit excellent electrochemical properties as anode materials in lithium ion batteries. The CNTs@Ti3C2 composite exhibits high reversible capacities of 430 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 and 175 mA h g−1 at 10 A g−1 (31.25 C), and is not only better than the pristine Ti3C2 (99 mA h g−1 and 45 mA h g−1, respectively), but also superior to the recently reported MXene composites. The impressive electrochemical performance is attributed to the synergetic effects of the connective CNT bridges, large-capacity metal/metal oxides and the fine conductive MXene matrix. This in situ growth strategy of CNTs shows great potential in modulating the structure and properties of nanomaterials for advanced applications.

ABSTRACT Photocatalytic degradation and hydrogen production using solar energy through semiconductor photocatalysts are deemed to be a powerful approach for solving environmental and energy crisis. However, the biggest challenge in photocatalysis is the efficient separation of photo-induced carriers. To this end, we report that the mesoporous TiO 2 nanoparticles are anchored on highly conductive Ti 3 C 2 MXene co-catalyst by electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The constructed mesoporous TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composites display that the mesoporous TiO 2 nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of layer structured Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets . More importantly, the as-obtained mesoporous TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composites reveal the significantly enhanced light absorption performance, photo-induced carriers separation and transfer ability, thus boosting the photocatalytic activity . The photocatalytic methyl orange degradation efficiency of mesoporous TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composite with an optimized Ti 3 C 2 content (3 wt%) can reach 99.6% within 40 min. The capture experiments of active species confirm that the •O 2 − and •OH play major role in photocatalytic degradation process. Furthermore, the optimized mesoporous TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composite also shows an excellent photocatalytic H 2 production rate of 218.85 μmol g –1 h –1 , resulting in a 5.6 times activity as compared with the pristine mesoporous TiO 2 nanoparticles . This study demonstrates that the MXene family materials can be applied as highly efficient noble-metal-free co-catalysts in the field of photocatalysis .

The peroxidase-like activity of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets (Ti 3 C 2 NSs) was evaluated by catalytic oxidation of colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into orange-yellow 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with the aid of H 2 O 2 . The catalytic behavior followed the typical Michaelis–Menten kinetics. Systematic studies about the catalytic activity of Ti 3 C 2 NSs including cytochrome C (Cyt C) electron transfer experiments, radical capture experiments, and fluorescence analysis were conducted, revealing that the catalytic mechanism of Ti 3 C 2 NSs was attributed to nanozyme-accelerated electron transfer between substrates and nanozyme-promoted generation of active species (superoxide anion free radical (·O 2 − ) and holes (h + )). Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) inhibited the peroxidase-like activity of Ti 3 C 2 NSs, and the reduced catalytic activity was ascribed to DNA-hindered substrate accessibility to nanozyme surface. Based on the DNA controllable peroxidase-mimicking activity of Ti 3 C 2 NSs, taking microcystin-LR (MC-LR) aptamer as an example, a label-free colorimetric aptasensor was proposed for the sensitive detection of MC-LR. The colorimetric aptasensor showed a wide linear range (0.01–60 ng mL −1 ), low limit of detection (6.5 pg mL −1 ), and high selectivity. The practicality of the colorimetric aptasensor was demonstrated by detecting different levels of MC-LR in spiked real water samples; satisfactory recoveries (97.2–102.1%) and low relative standard deviations (1.16–3.72%) were obtained.

Active co-catalysts have been extensively used for improving photocatalytic activity in semiconductor-based photocatalytic systems. Herein, 2D alkalized Ti 3 C 2 (Ti 3 C 2 -OH) nano-sheets were coupled with CdS via a facile electrostatic self-assembly strategy and combined with hydrothermal method to prepare Ti 3 C 2 -OH/CdS photocatalyst. The morphologies, crystal phases, optical and photoelectrical properties of the prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, PL, and EIS analysis, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation results verified that the photo-degradation performance of Ti 3 C 2 -OH/CdS photocatalyst (degradation of 97% RhB in 100 min) was obviously superior to that of pure CdS (degradation of 70% RhB in 100 min) and Ti 3 C 2 /CdS (degradation of 82% RhB in 100 min). The active species trapping experiments for Ti 3 C 2 -OH/CdS photocatalyst revealed that the superoxide radical ( · O 2 − ) and holes (h + ) were the predominant species for degradation of RhB. Furthermore, the Ti 3 C 2 -OH co-catalyst in the Ti 3 C 2 -OH/CdS composite not only played the role of promoting the effective separation of photo-generated electron–hole pairs, but also constructing strong connections with CdS semiconductor to establish heterostructure, ultimately enhancing the photocatalytic performance of the Ti 3 C 2 -OH/CdS photocatalyst.
