The grand challenge in the development of Platinum (Pt)-based electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst is their high-cost, low utilization and less controllable, limiting its wide application in hydrogen economy field. Therefore, exploring a new technique to construct catalyst require minimal amounts of Pt and maintain high performance is very necessary. Herein, we first designed a high-efficiency electrocatalyst based ultralow Pt loading (1.27 μg cm ‒2 ) on two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene support by controlling Cu monolayer underpotential deposition (UPD), and then galvanic replacement Cu monolayer with Pt. Due to the energetically favorable metal-support interaction, in acidic media the as-prepared Pt-Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene catalyst achieved a current density of 10 mA cm ‒2 at low overpotential of 30 mV. Furthermore, the Pt-Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene catalyst also exhibited a superior HER activity with high turnover frequency (TOF) of 41.8 s ‒1 and mass activity of 41.3 A mg Pt –1 , which were about nearly 47 times those of commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst, respectively. This work demonstrate the potential of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as support for design of ultralow Pt loading electrocatalyst through Cu UPD-Galvanic replacement method that can be used for a wide range of catalytic reaction .

As a novel two-dimensional material, MXene is considered as a good candidate for pollutants removal. In this report, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets suspension was synthesized by intercalating and delaminating of the multi-layered Ti 3 C 2 T x using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH). Given to its unique properties, it showed excellent performances on cationic methylene blue (MB) adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity was figured to be 1026 mg/g at 318 K, which is much higher than most absorbents reported in previous studies. Mechanistic studies revealed that electrostatic attraction and ion exchange are the main factors for MB removal. Additionally, the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets composite membrane was prepared and applied to the MB removal through filtration, which showed good removal efficiency and dye water flux. The current Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene suspension should be a promising absorbent for MB removal from water.

It is a challenge to manufacture pressure sensing materials with flexibility, high sensitivity, wide detection range for the development of intelligent electronic products. Herein, a pressure sensor based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/polydopamine (PDA)/MXene conductive composite foam (TPMF) was prepared by a combination of directional freezing and dip-coating methods. The compressive strength of anisotropic TPU foam (TF) in the vertical direction is increased by 48.1% compared with isotropic foam. Besides, the conductive foam (0.25 S/m) with an MXene content of 3.45 wt% exhibits low density (105.5 mg/cm 3 ), high porosity (91.2%) and good resistance response behavior. The sensor based on TPMF exhibits excellent flexibility, fast response times (∼40 ms), and good durability over 5000 cycles. Furthermore, the composite foam has excellent recognition ability for different compressive strain amplitudes (up to 80%) and a wide stress range (10 Pa-122.5 kPa), as well as a high gauge factor (GF) up to 2.36 in the strain range of 2.5%-20%. The sensor has shown application potential in many fields, including voice recognition, health monitoring, motion monitoring, and artificial electronic skin.

In recent years, flexible high-performance piezoresistive pressure sensors have attracted considerable attention for the important application potential in the emerging fields of smart robots, wearable electronics and electronic skin. Herein, inspired by human skin, a new strategy was proposed for the fabrication of a double-layer piezoresistive pressure sensor with wide sensing range and high sensitivity. It was based on the utilization of sandpaper as template and MXene for the constructions of micro-protrusion rough surface on polydimethylsiloxane film and electrically conductive pathways, respectively. The prepared sensor demonstrated high sensitivity of 2.6 kPa −1 in wide linear range of 0–30 kPa, fast response/recovery time of 40/40 ms and excellent repeatability. Importantly, the sensor was successfully applied for the real-time detection of radial artery heart rate, limb movement, handwriting and vocal cord vocalization. Moreover, the integrated device by the sensors had the capability of identifying and visualizing spatial pressure distribution. The findings conceivably stand out a new methodology to prepare flexible high-performance piezoresistive pressure sensors for wearable electronics, human-computer interaction, intelligent robots and health monitoring.

2D MXene has attracted tremendous attention for developing high-performance energy storage devices regarding its good metallicity and relatively large accessible surface area. However, the electrochemical performance of MXene-related devices was hindered due to the pronounced self-stacking characteristic of MXene. Herein, a convenient aerosol jet printing (AJP) process is developed for the synthesis of MXene nanospheres with crumpled and eccentric structures by modulating the migration and assembly of MXene nanosheets on heat substrate. The existing temperature gradient between the apex and the edge of the deposited droplet causes thermocapillary flows carrying MXene nanosheets toward the edge and the MXene nanosheets are further shaped and assembled along the droplet surface during the solvent evaporation. Interdigital microelectrodes of crumpled MXene nanospheres are tentatively developed for electrochemical performance characterization, a competitive areal capacitance performance is demonstrated in comparison with other MXene-based devices. Importantly, this work highlights the great potential of the AJP technique for developing functional devices with fascinating hierarchical features as well as further extending applications in miniaturized and intelligent microelectronics.

Encapsulated phase-change materials (PCMs) have been widely studied in the field of solar thermal energy storage due to the advantages of stable shape and repeatability. In this work, a series of potatoes phase-change materials (PPMs) were conceived and synthesized via a common vacuum impregnation method, with biomass porous potatoes (PP) as substrate, polyethylene glycol (PEG) as phase change medium and MXene nanosheets as functional filler . The experimental results show that the introduction of MXene nanosheets not only significantly improve the photo-to-thermal conversion efficiency, but also help to increase the adsorption rate of PEG in PCMs. The PEG percentage of potatoes phase-change material (PPM) increases from 60.9% (PPM-0) to 82.1% (PPM-12.5), melting/freezing enthalpy values are also increases from 94.08 J/g/100.46 J/g of PPM-2.5 to 135.57 J/g/139.88 J/g of PPM-12.5, and its enthalpy efficiency λ and relative enthalpy efficiency η also increase from 57.6%/91.5% to 77.7%/98.3%. The results show that the prepared PPMs can be effectively applied to solar photo-to-thermal energy storage.

To overcome the effect of high actuation voltages causing dielectric elastomer films to breakdown, fabricating films with excellent dielectric properties and high durability is the current focus. Previously reported dielectric elastomer films, nevertheless, still require better dielectric properties and suffer from a lack of self-healing properties, which reduces the service life of the films. In this work, polysulfide polyurethane–urea (PSPU) elastomers with self-healing properties were synthesized through the insertion of dynamic disulfide bonds into the polymer chain segments via hydrogen transfer reactions. In addition, PSPU-based composites were fabricated in which the filler was MXene loaded with CeO2 obtained using a hydrothermal method. Benefiting from dynamic disulfide bonding and multiple hydrogen bonding interactions, PSPU attained a self-healing efficiency of 95%. Moreover, the 5.25 vol% CeO2@MXene/PSPU composite exhibited a dielectric constant of 206 at 100 Hz, maintaining a loss of 0.19 while having a self-healing efficiency of 97.9%. In contrast to PSPU, the dielectric constant of 5.25 vol% CeO2@MXene/PSPU was 34 times higher than that of the former at 100 Hz. These distinctive properties promise to render the films an integral part of the actuator.

Quantitative detection of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived food is of great significance. In this work, a simple and label-free electrochemical aptasensor for the highly sensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) in milk was successfully developed based on a new biosensing method, where the single- or few-layer Ti3C2MXene nanosheets functionalized via the specific aptamer by self-assembly were used as electrode modifiers for a glassy carbon electrode (aptamer/Ti3C2MXene/GCE). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and so on were utilized for electrochemical and morphological characterization. Under the optimized conditions, the constructed aptasensor exhibited excellent performance with a wider linearity to CAP in the range from 10 fM to 1 μM and a low detection limit of 1 fM. Aptamer/Ti3C2MXene/GCE demonstrated remarkable selectivity over other potentially interfering antibiotics, as well as exceptional reproducibility and stability. In addition, the aptasensor was successfully applied to determine CAP in milk with acceptable recovery values of 96.13% to 108.15% and relative standard deviations below 9%. Therefore, the proposed electrochemical aptasensor is an excellent alternative for determining CAP in food samples.Keywords:label-free;electrochemical aptasensor;chloramphenicol;Ti3C2MXene nanosheets

Herein, we designed and fabricated hollow N -doped carbon polyhedrons with atomically dispersed Zn species (Zn@HNCPs) through a topo-conversion strategy by utilising metal–organic frameworks as precursors. Zn@HNCPs achieved efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfaguanidine (SG) and phthalyl sulfacetamide (PSA) sulfonamides through the high intrinsic catalytic activity of the Zn-N 4 sites and excellent diffusion from the hollow porous nanostructures. The combination of the novel Zn@HNCPs with two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets resulted in improved synergistic electrocatalytic performance for the simultaneous monitoring of SG and PSA. Therefore, the detection limit of SG for this technique is much lower than those of other reported techniques; to the best of our knowledge, this is the first detection approach for PSA. Moreover, these electrocatalysts show promise for the quantification of SG and PSA in aquatic products. Our insights and findings can serve as guidelines for the development of highly active electrocatalysts for application in next-generation food analysis sensors.

Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant is widely used in plenty of cutting-edge technologies because of its extraordinary properties. However, poor boundary lubrication and creep limit their further applications. Here, we demonstrated a PFPE supramolecular gel with surface-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T x as additives for highly efficient boundary lubrication and prevention of creep. It turned into an oily liquid at 124.5 °C, accompanied by a rapid decrease in viscosity. Additionally, the phase transition could be achieved by shear stress. This kind of gel reduced wear volume by 90.75% compared with pure PFPE oil. Its friction coefficient (∼0.113) varied slightly with time. Notably, its load-bearing capacity exceeded 1500 N. This work puts forward an approach to the preparation of PFPE-based supramolecular gel lubricant with surface-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T x additive.

MXenes are considered as an emerging class of two-dimensional (2D) adsorbent for various environmental applications. In this work, two different morphologies of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (multilayer (ML-Ti 3 C 2 T x ) and delaminated titanium carbide (DL-Ti 3 C 2 T x )) were prepared through mild in situ HF etching and further delamination . The structural differences between the two were explored with a focus on their effects on the performance and mechanism of removing heavy metals from water. In comparison to ML-Ti 3 C 2 T x , DL-Ti 3 C 2 T x had more oxygen-containing functional groups, higher specific surface area (19.713 vs. 8.243 m 2 /g), larger pore volume (0.135 vs. 0.040 cm 3 /g), higher maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity (77.0 vs. 56.68 mg/g), but lower maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity (23.08 vs. 55.46 mg/g). Further investigation revealed that the removal of Pb(II) by the MXenes was mainly controlled through electrostatic attraction and surface complexation mechanisms, while Cu(II) was removed mainly through surface reduction by Ti-related groups. Because delamination of ML-Ti 3 C 2 T x increased the surface area and surface functional groups, DL-Ti 3 C 2 T x became a better sorbent for Pb(II) in water. During sonication, however, delamination inevitably led to partial oxidation of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets and thus weakened the reducing ability of DL-Ti 3 C 2 T x for Cu(II) in water. Nevertheless, both ML- and DL-Ti 3 C 2 T x not only exhibited excellent heavy metal adsorption capacity under different solution conditions, but also showed good reusability. Findings of this study indicate that Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes are promising adsorbents for treating heavy metal pollutants in water.

As a kind of clean energy, magnesium batteries have become the main research direction of next-generation batteries. A long voltage lag time and irreversibility in aqueous electrolytes are problems faced by magnesium aqueous batteries. For the first time, we modified the anode of a magnesium aqueous battery with MXene . The modified battery not only reduced the voltage lag time of the battery but also improved the reversibility, cycle stability, and intermittent discharge performance of the magnesium aqueous battery. The calculation results of density functional theory showed that there is a high adsorption energy between MXene film and magnesium alloy . The calculation results of the ion diffusion energy barrier indicated that magnesium ions have a lower migration barrier on the surface of the MXene film layer. This research is of great significance to the development and application of magnesium batteries.
