Nonmetal doping is widely used in the modification of titanium dioxides (TiO 2 ) for photocatalytic applications. As a typical two-dimensional layered nanomaterial, the excellent physical and chemical properties of MXene materials have been the focus of current research. In this study, carbon and fluorine co-doped MXene derived TiO 2 nanosheets (labelled as C-F-TiO 2 ) were successfully synthesized and used as catalysts for degrading 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) under UV light irradiation. The C-F-TiO 2 with ultrathin nanosheet structure enhanced light absorption range and decreased the bandgaps. The degradation efficiency of 2,4,6-TCP by C-F-TiO 2 was over 99 % in 90 min, and the degradation rate was more than twice that of commercial TiO 2 . The degradation rate still remained about 90 % in 90 min after five cycles. The results of quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) illustrated that more reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated in the C-F-TiO 2 /UV system, which was 1.5 times that of commercial pure TiO 2 , and • O 2 – was the dominant ROS for 2,4,6-TCP degradation. This study provided insight to utilize physicochemical characteristics of MXene to synthesize non-metal co-doped TiO 2 nanosheet as a catalyst, exhibiting excellent reactivity in the potential application for organic pollutant degradation.

Restacking or aggregation inhibition of MXene nanosheets is crucial to the maintenance of their excellent electrochemical performance during use. In this study, a positively charged surfactant is inserted into the MXene nanolayers through a simple self-assembly process based on electrostatic interaction, producing a MXene/surfactant complex with enlarged interlayer spacing. Then 3D MXene-based porous structure could be prepared by the facile and low-cost breath figure method, in which MXene/surfactant complex is used as a casting material, therefore the inhibition of restacking or aggregation and increase of surface area at multiscale are realized in one system at the same time. Benefiting from the high conductivity of MXene and increased surface area of 3D porous structure that can provide massive active sites and facilitate the electrolyte infiltration and ion or electron access, enhanced electrochemical performance, for instance, electrochemical sensing of dopamine (DA) is shown. A low detection limit of 36.8 nM with excellent anti-interference, reproducibility, repeatability and long-term stability is realized. Good accuracy for DA detection in real biological samples is also confirmed by determining DA concentration in complex human urine samples. More importantly, porous structure such as pore size, uniformity, order and porosity can be adjusted through tuning the fabrication conditions, thereby regulating its electrochemical properties. This work not only provides a high-performance electrode for electrochemical sensing, but also offers a simple and practical strategy for the construction of 3D porous MXene film that holds great potential in electromagnetic interference shielding, supercapacitors and batteries.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution poses risks to electronic devices and human health and has emerged as a major source of pollution. In addition to being low in weight and exhibiting high transparency, flexibility, and easy processability, the polymer-based transparent conductive films (TCFs) increasingly used for EMI shielding exhibit fragility, and scratches in TCFs during service usually cause severe electromagnetic wave leakage and waste. To address this issue, we designed a DMBA-modified oxime-carbamate polyurethane film with remarkable mechanical strength, high transmittance, and self-healing efficiency and prepared TCFs by uniformly depositing AgNWs and Ti3C2Tx MXene on the material surface. The TCFs show an ultra-low sheet resistance (18 Ω sq−1), high transmittance (82.8%), good EMI shielding effectiveness (SE, 27.1 dB), and excellent retention of properties after 1000 flexures and rapid recovery after three cutoff/self-repair cycles, demonstrating resistance against damage. The novel TCFs exhibit great potential for application in consumer electronics, radio communications, and radar stealth.

To improve the solar energy storage efficiency and thermal conductivity, we developed stable 3D-Ti3C2Tx framework-supported composites as phase change materials (FCPCMs) fabricated by the spatial confining forced network assembly (SCFNA) method. The 3D-Ti3C2Tx framework was constructed by decomposition of a compressed mixture of NH4HCO3 and Ti3C2Tx nanosheets. The controllable porous structure of the 3D-Ti3C2Tx framework and hydrogen bonds between -OH groups (or -F groups) on the surface of MXene and the long chain of PEG benefited the good impregnation of PEG into the framework with good compatibility. Therefore, the developed PCM composites exhibited satisfactory phase change enthalpy in the range of 93.36–119.11 J/g. Compared with PEG8000, the thermal conductivity of the composite with loading 40 wt % of 3D-Ti3C2Tx increased from 0.166 to 1.733 W/(m·K). The improvement of the thermal conductivity is mainly derived from the thermal conduction path provided by the stable 3D-Ti3C2Tx framework. Based on the spatial confining forced network assembly, FCPCMs presented good shape stabilization and thermal reliability in 200 melting–freezing cycles. Benefiting from the construction of the 3D-Ti3C2Tx thermal conductivity path, the fast temperature increase rate under light irradiation is the highlight of FCPCMs. It is noted that FCPCMs exhibit both good photothermal conversion and energy storage efficiency, with the photothermal conversion and storage performance η as high as 95%. Consequently, the developed PCM composites in this work exhibited tremendous application potential in the solar energy utilization field.

Despite the existing advances of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as supercapacitor electrode material, its capacitance can be further enhanced through the composite strategy. In this work, the nitrogen-doped superhydrophilic carbon cloth (ENCC) was firstly prepared by N-doping of carbon cloth (CC), and then Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets were electrophoretically deposited to yield the binder-free Ti 3 C 2 T x(EPD) /ENCC as supercapacitor electrode material. As a result, the composite electrode exhibited an area-specific capacitance of 2080.1 mF·cm −2 at 1 mA·cm −2 current density. The analysis implied that the varying Ti valence states provided certain psedocapacitance to the capacitance of the as-prepared electrode, though the main contribution was still dominantly from the electric double layer capacitance (EDLC). Further, the assembled symmetric supercapacitor yielded a wide voltage window of 1.8 V, and a good cyclic stability with 91% capacitance retention after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles at 20 mA·cm −2 . Overall, the employed composite strategy enabled the good dispersion of the MXene flakes on the surface of the flexible substrate . Meanwhile, the large number of functional groups (-OH, -F, etc.) on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene interacted with the carbon layer through hydrogen bonding effects, which endows it as an ideal electrode for electrochemical capacitors .

Multicomponent heterogeneous Ti 3 C 2 transition metal carbide (MXene)-based materials are receiving extensive research attention due to their interesting synergistic interactions and catalytic properties. However, the morphology-controllable synthesis of heterostructures as structural stabilizers for Ti 3 C 2 MXene remains a challenge owing the complicated synthesis procedure. In this work, a kind of ternary heterogeneous nanomaterials CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene with a nanorod/nanoplate/nanosheet hybrid architecture is constructed through a one-step low-temperature solvothermal method. The well-designed ternary one-dimensional (1D)/two-dimensional (2D)/2D CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heteromaterials exhibit synergistic improvements in substrate-catalyzed reactions for electrochemical acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor . The Michaelis-Menten constant for the Nafion/AChE/CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene/GCE biosensor is 228 μM, which is smaller than ones reported in previous literatures, indicating a higher affinity of the fabricated enzyme biosensor to acetylthiocholine chloride. The biosensor exhibits a well linear relationship with chlorpyrifos concentration ranging from 2.852 × 10 −12 M to 2.852 × 10 −6 M. The multicomponent 1D/2D/2D CuCo 2 S 4 /CuS/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heteromaterial may shine a light in more electrochemical applications.

There exists an obvious contradiction between Cu(III) generation and Cu(I) contribution in reductants enhanced Cu(II)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process because the involved electron transfer pathways were always ignored in previous studies. This study investigated the MXene-mediated electron transfer mechanism in Cu(II)/PMS for the first time. The introduction of MXene significantly promoted atrazine degradation under acidic condition because the in-situ generation of Cu(I) was an excellent activator for PMS. Under alkaline condition, although addition of MXene generated a large amount of Cu(I), the degradation of atrazine was inhibited due to that the conversion of Cu(I) to Cu(III) was interrupted. The strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) altered the reactive intermediate species from Cu(III) (two-electron transfer) to hydroxyl radical (HO • ) and sulfate radical (SO 4 •- ) (one-electron transfer) under alkaline condition. This work proposed a novel MXene-mediated electron transfer mechanism and improved the understanding of Cu(III)/Cu(I) transformation pathway.

MXene Ti 3 C 2 T x and Ti 2 CT x were introduced as CDI electrodes to investigate the effect of oxidation on desalination performance. In NaCl solution, Ti 3 C 2 T x maintained 65.6% of initial desalination capacity (14.05 mg/g) after 38 cycles and Ti 2 CT x maintained 23.5% after 12 cycles (10.14 mg/g). However, in deoxygenated NaCl solution, Ti 3 C 2 T x still maintained 87.8% after 134 cycles while Ti 2 CT x maintained 17.9% after 16 cycles. Subsequent analysis indicated that MXene was partially oxidized to TiO 2 , resulting in an increase of electrical resistance, which ultimately reduced cycling stability. This work implied that deoxygenating seawater is a significant method for the industrial application of Ti 3 C 2 T x .

The bioelectronic tongues based on taste receptors have been emerging with human-like taste perception. However, the practical applications of the receptor-based biosensors were restricted by their narrow and low dynamic ranges. Here, a novel immobilization strategy based on [email protected] /Ti 3 C 2 MXene was developed to immobilize the umami ligand binding domain (T1R1-VFT), to fabricate an umami biosensor for umami substances detection. Through the synergic effect of [email protected] and Ti 3 C 2 MXene, the capacity to load T1R1-VFT was effectively increased, and the response signal was also amplified by approximately 3 times. The proposed biosensor showed an ultrawide dynamic range of 10 −11 –10 −3 M, and a high upper limit of detection, which was closer to the human taste threshold and suitable for detecting foods rich in umami substances. Additionally, the biosensor was successfully applied to detect real samples and analyze the synergistic effects of binary umami substances.

Compared with most transition metal based electrode materials, 2D M n+1 X n T x has high conductivity and good solvent compatibility. However, its low energy density hinders its application as supercapacitior electrode for electrochemical energy storage applications. Herein, the interface-pillared of Fe-MOF (MIL-100(Fe)) onto Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene layer, which provide rich electrochemical active sites, is achieved, and the MOF nanospheres with MXene nanosheets are subsequently converser into three dimensional multilayer porous nanostructures through the chemical bond couping. Therefore, the MOF nanospheres are anchored between the nansheets of MXene, enabling the fast ion transportation in the three dimensional nanostructures. Menanwhile, the MOF nanospheres prevent the aggregation of MXene nanosheets, and the laminar structure is maintained for more redox reaction sites within the hybrid electrodes through fast charge–discharge cycles. As a result, the MIL-100(Fe)/Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene electrode displays superior energy density (85.53 Wh kg −1 ), which is much higher than the other MXene-based electrodes as far as we know. This design strategy of 2D hybrid electrodes opens up a new way for the commercial application of high perfermance supercapacitor.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are highly necessary to solve the problem of electromagnetic radiation. Transition-metal carbide/nitride (MXene) materials offer great potential for the construction of high-performance EMI shields because of their high electrical conductivity and versatile surface chemistry. However, MXene generally suffers from poor mechanical and oxidation-resistant properties, which hinders its practical applications. Herein, flexible, strong, and hydrophobic sandwich-structured composite films (H-S-MXene), consisting of a conductive MXene layer and supporting aramid nanofiber layer, were fabricated using step-by-step vacuum-assisted filtration and dip coating. Given the unique sandwich structure, hydrogen bonding interactions, and covalent cross-linking of the MXene sheets, the H-S-MXene composite films demonstrated simultaneously excellent EMI shielding and mechanical properties. The EMI shielding effectiveness of the H-S-MXene composite film with 20 wt % MXene content reached 46.1 dB at thickness of 23.2 ± 0.5 μm, and the tensile strength of the film reached 302.1 MPa, which outperformed other reported EMI shielding materials. The excellent mechanical flexibility and hydrophobicity of the H-S-MXene composite films ensured a stable EMI shielding performance, which could withstand cycled bending, torsion, and exposure to aqueous environments. These impressive features made the H-S-MXene composite films promising candidates for electronic devices and aerospace. This study provides important guidance for the rational design of stable MXene-based composites with advanced properties.

The reactive species including hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and hydrated electrons (eaq–) produced by radiolysis of liquid water play a central role in radiation chemistry. However, most quantification studies of the reaction of these species have been established in a homogeneous phase rather than in heterogeneous systems, which greatly limited the in-depth understanding of the knowledge of heterogeneous systems such as nanoparticle suspension. MXenes as active antioxidants and catalysts have been widely studied. Herein, the yields of radiation-induced •OH and eaq– in Ti3C2Tx (TC) MXene suspension were investigated by a simple fluorescence spectroscopy using the optimized coumarin method. The results indicate that the yield of •OH in TC suspension decreased by increasing the TC concentration with a reaction rate constant of 1.58 × 108 L g –1 s–1 between •OH and TC, which implies that TC acts as an •OH scavenger and a radioprotectant. Also, the oxidation state of Ti in TC nanosheets increased after reacting with •OH. In addition, a higher yield of eaq– was achieved in N2O-saturated TC suspension than in liquid water. The generated eaq– per gram of TC nanosheets decreased and H2 produced by TC suspension after irradiation increased by increasing the TC concentration, which indicates the competing recombination reaction of eaq– to form H2 in high-concentration TC suspension. The work provides a facile method to study the reaction of •OH and eaq– with nanoparticles dispersed in water.
