Ti 2 AlC can be used as a microwave absorbent due to its good electrical conductivity. However, Ti 2 AlC powders synthesized using conventional solid phase reaction show low reflection loss (RL) and narrow effective absorption width (EAB), which greatly limits its application in the field of microwave absorption. Herein, porous lamellar Ti 2 AlC powders were firstly synthesized in NaCl/KCl molten salt using Ti powders, Al powders, and starch as reaction precursors, and then they were selectively etched with Lewis acid molten salt (CuCl 2 ) to prepare Ti 2 AlC/Cu/Ti 2 C hybrids. The results indicated that when the mass fraction of porous lamellar Ti 2 AlC powder in paraffin was 40 %, the maximum RL and EAB were −44.15 dB and 2.68 GHz, respectively. After Lewis acid molten salt etching, the RL and EAB of Ti 2 AlC/Cu/Ti 2 C hybrids increased to −54.88 dB and 4.48 GHz, respectively. The improvement of microwave absorption property could be attributed to the enhancement of polarization and conductivity losses caused by the formation of Ti 2 C MXene and copper nanoparticles. This study provides a simple way to tune the microstructure and microwave absorption capability of Ti 2 AlC.

The electrochemical properties of carbides and nitrides dominated two dimensional MXenes can be effectively engineered for a wide variety of applications. Herein, we report a hydrothermal Alkali etching process to prepare Ti 3 C 2 T x @Al-NaOH (T x = -OH, -O) MXene without fluorine from Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and MAX solution. The T i3 C 2 T x @Al-NaOH sample etched for 15 h in NaOH solution exhibits optimal electrochemical properties. Also, the T i3 C 2 T x @Al-NaOH samples, which have NaOH concentrations of 22.5, 25, 30, 35 and 40 M, respectively, show higher rates of charge-discharge and pseudocapacitive effect in 1 M sulfuric acid electrolyte solution, while the corresponding specific capacity values are 378, 445, 565, 365 and 176 Cg −1 , respectively. Meanwhile, their retention rates are still retained at 94 %, 119 %, 150 %, 113 % and 29 %, after continuous cycling of about 8000 times. It is demonstrated that the Ti 3 C 2 T X @Al-NaOH (30 M) for 15 h shows great potential as a candidate electrode for supercapacitors and other energy storage devices, since its capacitance value surpasses (by ∼465 %) to that of the multilayer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene prepared via normal hydrofluoric acid etching. As a consequence, our Alkali-assisted hydrothermal reaction treatment is a highly advantageous process to realize fine-tune of surface chemistry.

Stress shielding is caused by the mismatch of stiffness between bone and implant materials, which may give rise to bone resorption and loosening, thereby causing implantation failure. There is a huge gap between Young's modulus of human bone and low Young's modulus β Ti alloys. A porous structure design can achieve the target of low Young's modulus, and thus achieve the matching between human bone and implant materials. However, a suitable space holder (SH) that can be applied at high temperatures and sintering pressure has not been reported. In this study, the TiZrNbTa/Ti titanium matrix composite (TMC) with high strength and large ductility was used as scaffold materials and combined the SH technique with the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique to obtain a porous structure. A novel space holder, i.e., MgO particles was adopted, which can withstand high-temperature sintering accompanied by a sintering pressure. The porous TiZrNbTa/Ti with 40 vol.% MgO added exhibits a maximum strength of 345.9 ± 10.4 MPa and Young's modulus of 24.72 ± 0.20 GPa, respectively. It possesses higher strength compared with human bone and matches Young's modulus of human bone, which exhibits great potential for clinical application.

The simultaneous detection of multiple diabetes markers is important for the diagnosis and typing of diabetes because of the complex causes of diabetes. Two-dimensional titanium carbide (MXene), an emerging material, has great potential for biomedical sensing, in addition to its electrical applications. In this study, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) aptasensor with high sensitivity and specificity was constructed using monolayer Ti 3 C 2 MXene for the simultaneous detection of insulin and visceral adipose tissue-derived serotonin (vaspin). Fluorescein-labeled insulin binding aptamers (IBAs) and Cy7-labeled vaspin-binding aptamers (VBAs) were attached to Ti 3 C 2 , and their fluorescence was effectively quenched by FRET between the fluorescein and Ti 3 C 2 . Insulin and vaspin were preferentially bound to IBA and VBA for a higher affinity. This process led to the subsequent shedding of fluorescein from Ti 3 C 2 , resulting in fluorescence recovery. The high fluorescence quenching efficiency and broad wavelength absorption of Ti 3 C 2 MXene enabled the quenching of two different, wide spectrum fluorescence at two different wavelengths, thus enabling the simultaneous detection of both insulin and vaspin. The aptasensor was highly sensitive, with a low detection limit of 36 pM for insulin and 45 pM for vaspin. Importantly, this Ti 3 C 2 -based aptasensor can precisely detect insulin and vaspin in human serum and diagnose a specific type of diabetes and identify its cause to facilitate subsequent treatment. The above results indicate that the Ti 3 C 2 -based aptasensor has promising applications in the clinical diagnosis and typing of diabetes mellitus.

The application of microwave absorption materials, which can effectively convert electromagnetic energy into thermal energy and/or other forms of energy, can effectively solve the increasingly serious electromagnetic pollution. As a type of promising microwave absorption material, ternary transition metal carbides/nitrides MAX phases possess layered structure and superior conduction loss capability. However, poor impedance matching and single polarization loss type seriously hinder their improvement of microwave absorption performance. High-entropy engineering is expected to be an effective strategy to address the above problems simultaneously. Herein, a series of low-, medium-, and high-entropy MAX phases with Ti 2 AlC structure were successfully synthesized and their structure, composition, and morphology were comprehensively characterized. High-entropy MAX phase (Ti 1/5 Zr 1/5 V 1/5 Nb 1/5 Ta 1/5 ) 2 AlC presents excellent microwave absorption performance with the optimal minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −47 dB at 11.92 GHz (a thickness of 2.4 mm) and optimal effective absorption bandwidth of 3.92 GHz between 8.48 and 12.4 GHz (a thickness of 2.78 mm), which are better than those of our prepared low-/medium-entropy MAX phases as well as most of the other previously reported MAX phases. Such excellent microwave absorption performance of (Ti 1/5 Zr 1/5 V 1/5 Nb 1/5 Ta 1/5 ) 2 AlC is attributed to high-entropy engineering, which not only optimizes the impedance matching through regulating permittivity but also introduces more polarization loss type and amount. This work reveals that high-entropy engineering is not only a workable method to enhance the microwave absorption performance in MAX phases, but also an effective strategy to tailor the balance between impedance matching and loss capability through compositional design in single-phase systems.

This work investigates the influence of sintering temperature on phase constitution, microstructure, and properties of Ti 2 AlC-reinforcing Ag-based composite. Part of active Al atomic layer in Ti 2 AlC migrates outward under the induction of relatively low sintering temperature (≤ 800 °C) and then generates the Ti-Al compounds and TiC. By means of elemental analysis, obvious Ag-Al inter-diffusion is detected at Ag-Ti 2 AlC interface at 900 °C and then Al-deficient layer forms around slightly dissociated Ti 2 AlC particles. At elevated temperature (950 °C), more significant interface diffusion and dissociation accelerate the decomposition and oxidation of Ti 2 AlC and subsequently generate mixture of titanium and aluminum oxides (Ti x O y , Al x O y ). The oxides’ agglomeration and residual Ti 2 AlC lead to form network-like and ravine-like structure. The moderate Ag-Al inter-diffusion slightly increases the resistivity (94.59 × 10 −3 μΩ·m), but contributes to improving the interface bonding and mechanical properties (106 HV hardness, 298.6 MPa tensile strength) of Ag/Ti 2 AlC at 900 °C. However, the severe Ti 2 AlC decomposition and oxides agglomeration account for the significant deduction in electrical conductivity (132.79 × 10 −3 μΩ·m) and mechanical properties (87 HV, 222.3 MPa) at 950 °C. A mechanism is proposed to further understand the phase transition, microstructure evolution, and interface reaction of the Ag/Ti2AlC with the elevated sintering temperature.

Using TiN-Ti-AlN as the binder, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) composites containing Y 2 O 3 and not containing Y 2 O 3 were prepared under high temperature and ultra-high pressure conditions, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to analyze the phase composition, microstructure and surface crack morphology of the composite material. At the same time, the compactness, microhardness and bending strength of the composite material were tested. The research results show that the phase composition of PCBN sample is mainly composed of BN, TiB 2 , TiN, AlN and Y 2 O 3 at an ultra-high pressure of 5.5 GPa and a temperature of 1500 °C. With the increase of Y 2 O 3 content, the relative density of PCBN first increases and then decreases, and the changes in mechanical properties also tend to be similar. As the content of Y 2 O 3 increases, it can be seen that the peak intensity of the main peak of TiB 2 also increases, indicating that the addition of Y 2 O 3 promotes the reaction between cBN and Ti. When the Y 2 O 3 content is 3.6%, PCBN has the best comprehensive mechanical properties, with a microhardness of 34.56 GPa and a bending strength of 890 MPa.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) micro-nanostructures are widely utilized in photochemical applications due to their unique band gaps and are of huge demand in scientific research and industrial manufacture. Herein, this work reports a controllable, facile, economical, and green solid-phase synthesis strategy to prepare TiO2 with governable morphologies containing 1D nanorods, 3D microbulks, and irregular thick plates. Specifically, Ti powders are transformed into TiO2 micro-nanostructures through dispersing them into a solid NaOH/KOH mixture with a low eutectic point, followed by grinding, heating, ion exchange, and calcination. As no solvents are utilized in the alkali treatment process, the usage of solvents is decreased and high vapor pressure is avoided. Moreover, the band gaps of TiO2 micro-nanostructures can be regulated from 3.02 to 3.34 eV through altering the synthetic parameters. Notably, the as-prepared TiO2 micro-nanostructures exhibit high photocatalytic activities in the degradation of rhodamine B and methylene blue under simulated solar light illumination. It is believed that the solid-phase synthesis strategy will be of huge demand for the synthesis of TiO2 micro-nanostructures.

Lithium–Sulfur battery is deemed as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage systems. Identifying the reduction of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is critical for rational material designs for Lithium–Sulfur batteries. In this work, a simple molten-salt method is applied to synthesize titanium nitride/silicon nitride (TiN–Si 3 N 4 ) core-shell nanoparticles to inhibit soluble polysulfides shuttling. This Ti-reacted strategy has outstanding advantages such as facile and recyclable preparation process, tunable TiN morphology, and good polysulfide adsorption. With the modified separator, Li–S cells exhibit an outstanding initial capacity of 1243 mA h g −1 at 0.5C, good rate capacity of 782 mA h g −1 at 2C, and high capacity retention of 49.2% after 500 cycles. This low-cost and eco-friendly Ti-reacted strategy provides a practical route for the actual application of separator modification in the field of lithium-sulfur battery.

Oxygen solid solution-strengthened titanium-oxygen (Ti–O) alloys with ultrahigh yield strength and large ductility were designed and synthesized via high-energy ball milling (BM) combined with spark plasma sintering (SPS) in compression. The morphology, dispersion state, and solid solution microstructure of the Ti–O alloys were optimized by regulating the mixing method, sintering temperature, and added oxygen content. Outstanding properties that include a compressive yield strength of 1220 MPa and large ductility of 36.3% were achieved after 1 h high-energy BM and 1000 °C SPS with the addition of about 1.8 at% oxygen. The grain refinement and oxygen solid solution strengthening indicate that the dense morphology, refined grain size, and oxygen solid solute atoms are responsible for the balance between the superior strength and ductility of the titanium alloys.

Since the synthesis of non-oxidized ceramic and alloy powders requires both high temperature and oxygen insulation conditions, here we demonstrate a cost-efficient molten salt sealing/shielded synthesis method with dynamic gas tightness. Compared to conventional synthesis method, it can prevent the loss of reaction materials at high temperature, cut off the connection between reacting material and outside air, and does not require long-time ball milling mixing treatment or provision of applied pressing before or during heating. Only low-cost salts (e.g., NaCl, KCl), a few minutes of raw material mixing, and regular heating molds are required to obtain high-purity (>96 wt%), micron-sized Ti 3 AlC 2 and Ti 3 SiC 2 powders with narrow size distribution, which significantly decreased the complexity and production costs in the synthesis process. The effect of temperature and raw material content on the products were investigated. The mechanism of diffusion reaction between reactants in molten salt environment was analyzed. The new method developed here was also applicable to Ti 2 AlC, V 2 AlC and Cr 2 AlC MAX phases, as well as provided new ideas for the preparation of other MXenes precursors with certain stoichiometric ratios, air-sensitive materials and nanopowders .

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) was synthesized at high temperature and ultra-high pressure, using cBN, TiN, AlN and Ti as starting materials. The effects of CBN content (48–63 wt%) and sintering temperature (1300–1600 °C) on the composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of PCBN materials were studied. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope were used to analyze the phase composition, microstructure and surface crack morphology of PCBN. At the same time, the compactness, microhardness, fracture toughness and flexural strength of PCBN were tested. Research shows that the phase components of PCBN samples are mainly composed of BN, TiB 2 , TiN and AlN. Almost all Ti reacts with cBN during the sintering process to form TiN and TiB 2 phases. When the sintering temperature is 1500 °C, the reaction has been fully completed. When the cBN content increases from 48 to 63 wt%, the relative density, flexural strength and hardness of PCBN increase with the increase in cBN content. When sintered at 1500 °C and the cBN content is 63 wt%, the relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and microhardness of the composite are 99%, 820.8 MPa, 6.6 MPa.m 1/2 and 3362 Hv, respectively.
