Ga-based liquid metal (LM) suffers from severe corrosiveness toward chips and heatsink metals, posing a major obstacle to its practical use. Herein, we propose MXene films as barrier layers to mitigate Ga-induced corrosion. Combining first-principles density functional theory and experimental analyses, anti-corrosion performance and reliability were systematically evaluated. MXene nanosheets were found to self-assemble on Cu surfaces via van der Waals interactions, providing an interfacial adhesion force of 17.23 mN. The coatings effectively inhibit Ga corrosion while maintaining high thermal conductivity and long-term stability. This strategy offers a simple and efficient solution to corrosion issues in Ga-based TIM applications.

Membrane fouling and wetting limit the applications of membrane distillation (MD) for wastewater treatment , especially when treating the wastewater with a high concentration of low surface tension substances such as oil and surfactants. In this paper, virgin polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was modified by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to enhance anti-wetting ability. Then a thin polydopamine (PDA) layer was coated as a reaction platform for further modification. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) was cross-linked with PDA to form a uniform and stable layer, through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction to immobilize hydrophilic MXene, which formed a Janus MXene-PVDF membrane. The MXene layer was the key for superoleophobicity and high liquid entry pressure (LEP) of membrane, capable of mitigating membrane fouling and wetting when dealing with low surface tension wastewater (LSTW). From the experiments results, pristine PVDF membrane showed severe fouling and wetting with flux decline and salt leakage during treatment of LSTW (surfactants containing water, oil-in-water emulsion and sodium dodecyl sulfate stabilized oil-in-water emulsion). However, under the same conditions, the Janus MXene-PVDF membrane exhibited remarkably stable flux (9.3 kg m −2 h −1 , 9.1 kg m −2 h −1 , 10.2 kg m −2 h −1 ) and salt rejection (almost 99.9%) after 15 h operation. Excellent fouling and wetting resistance of MXene-PVDF membrane was mainly attributed to its superhydrophilic and superoleophobic top surface (in-air water contact angle: 30.2°, under-water oil contact angle: 169.9°) and hydrophobic substrate (in-air water contact angle: 130.8°), together with high LEP value (91.1 Kpa). This study provides a viable route to fabricated a Janus membrane with outstanding fouling and wetting resistance for LSTW, oily wastewater and it has great potential for sewage treatment in the future.

With the rapid advancement of digital and communication technologies, electromagnetic pollution poses an increasingly serious threat to the environment and precision instruments. In this study we report a three-dimensional MXene/PPy/Fe 3 O 4 (3D MPF) composite with an ordered three-dimensional network structure constructed by an in-situ self-assembly method. The porous structure of 3D MPF was adjusted to induce the assembly of MXene nanosheets through different EDA additions. The 3D MPF exhibits cross-linked and interpenetrating conductive networks that facilitate efficient electron transfer and reflection. The multi-layer heterogeneous interfaces and functional groups of the 3D MPF generate more polarization defects, causing significant reflection and scattering of incident electromagnetic waves. Moreover, the inclusion of Fe 3 O 4 supports magnetic loss and optimizes the impedance matching of the 3D MPF. The 3D MPF exhibits a maximum reflection loss of −55.21 dB at a thickness of 3.31 mm when the ratio of MXene to Fe 3 O 4 is 1:1. At a thickness of 1.41 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth reaches 3.44 GHz (from 13.84 GHz to 17.28 GHz). By adjusting the matching thickness, the effective absorption bandwidth of the 3D MPF ranges from 3.44 GHz to 18 GHz, with reflection losses below −10 dB, indicating its significant potential in electromagnetic wave absorption.

The development of composite membranes utilizing transition metal carbides and nitrides, exemplified by Ti 3 C 2 T x (MXene), has proven efficacious in the treatment of oily wastewater. However, challenges arise from the prolonged and convoluted transport paths within MXene interlayer nanochannels, significantly impeding mass transfer and diminishing membrane permeability. This investigation incorporated porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as intercalating agents into two-dimensional (2D) MXene-based membranes to expand the interlayer nanochannels. The resulting MXene@COF-TpBD functional layer polyethersulfone (PES) composite membrane exhibited a distinctive dual superoleophobic surface, concurrently manifesting underwater superoleophobicity and underoil superhydrophobicity (underwater oil contact angle >150°, underoil water contact angle >150°). The membranes exhibited excellent water flux (up to 4092.7 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 ), efficient oil-water emulsion separation (up to 1908.4 L m −2 h −1 ·bar −1 , rejection rates >99.78 %), noteworthy fouling resistance and structural stability, outperforming most of existing similar membranes. Furthermore, supported by the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory, the incorporation of COF-TpBD improved the antifouling characteristics of the composite membrane. This work presents innovative insights into the improvement of 2D MXene membranes and the use of COF-TpBD for the specific remediation of oily wastewater.

Two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene-based hybrids-anchored magnetic metal nanoparticles show a huge potential application as effective wave absorbers due to the synergistic electromagnetic (EM) loss effect. In this work, uniform and size-controllable nickel, cobalt, or nickel–cobalt alloy nanoparticles were in situ grown on the surface of MXene via a facile and moderate co-solvothermal method for the first time. As an example, a nickel nanoparticles-anchored MXene (Ni@MXene) hybrid was homodispersed into dielectric polyvinylidene fluoride to develop its EM wave-absorbing capacity to a great extent. As expected, the results showed strong reflection loss (RLmin = −52.6 dB at 8.4 GHz), broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB = 3.7 GHz including 71% of X-band), low loading (10 wt % Ni@MXene), and thin thickness (3.0 mm). By adjusting the sample thickness, EAB can cover completely the whole X-band with a maximum of 6.1 GHz, showing a huge potential of Ni@MXene hybrid applying as aircraft stealth coating. The mechanism analyses revealed that the excellent impedance matching, magnetocoupling effect, conductance, magnetic loss, and multiple scatterings contribute to the splendid EM wave-absorbing performance of the Ni@MXene hybrid. Considering the excellent overall performance, the Ni@MXene hybrid was identified as a promising candidate for EM wave absorption.

The removal and recovery of radioactive Sr(II) from wastewater and seawater has been of great concern due to the negative environmental impacts of nuclear energy development and the potential risk of nuclear accidents. Herein, a facile molten salt synthesis strategy was developed to systematically investigated the reaction of different types of MXenes with nitrates. Among the products, K + intercalated hierarchical titanate nanostructures (K-HTNs) obtained from the direct chemical transformation of multilayered Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibited unique layered structures, good physicochemical properties, and outstanding adsorption performance for Sr(II). The maximum adsorption capacity of Sr(II) by K-HTNs reached 204 mg·g −1 at ambient temperature, and the good regeneration and reusability of the titanate was also demonstrated. K-HTNs showed preferential selectivity for Sr(II) in different environmental media containing competing ions, and the removal efficiency of Sr(II) in real seawater was as high as 93.3 %. The removal mechanism was elaborated to be the exchange of Sr 2+ with K + /H + in the interlayers of K-HTNs, and the adsorbed Sr(II) had a strong interaction with Ti−O − termination on the titanate surface. Benefiting from the merits of rapid and scalable synthesis and excellent adsorption performance, MXene-derived K-HTNs have broad application prospects for the purification of 90 Sr-contaminated wastewater and seawater.

The emerging energy-saving and environmentally friendly capacitive deionization (CDI) technology has attracted more and more attention. However, it remains a great challenge to develop CDI electrode materials with excellent comprehensive properties. Herein, the porous N, P co-doping Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (N, P-Ti 3 C 2 T x ) was prepared successfully by combining simple flocculation with an annealing process. Benefitting from the synergistic effect of the combination of porous structure and co-doping of N and P heteroatoms, the N, P-Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibits substantial specific surface area, which provides more surface bounding active sites for electrochemical reactions, thus assisting to boost the CDI performance. As a result, the N, P-Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibited an admirable salt (Na + ) adsorption capacity of 53.3 mg g −1 and exceptional recycling property. Impressively, the N, P-Ti 3 C 2 T x also exhibited superior desalination performance of Pb 2+ , characterized by an exceptionally high desalination capacity of up to 168.2 mg g −1 at 1.2 V, and the corresponding desalination rate reached 0.047 mg g −1 s −1 . Additionally, the deionization mechanism involved was elucidated through a series of characterizations. This work will furnish an effective avenue for the innovative design of MXene-based electrode materials toward high-performance CDI.

The microstructure, wettability, and electrochemical performance of MXene/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived hybrid carbon nanofiber membranes (MCNFs) as high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials are reported. A series of MCNFs were prepared using electrospinning, carbonization, and vacuum-assisted filtration deposition methods. Carbonized PAN-derived carbon nanofiber membranes were used as substrates, and MXene dispersion was deposited onto both sides of the carbon nanofiber membranes (CNFs). Structural analysis showed that MXene nanosheets were uniformly attached to PAN-derived CNFs, with increasing deposition thickness on the surface as the MXene content in the dispersion increased. The addition of MXene nanosheets improved the hydrophilicity of CNFs, thus effectively promoting electrolyte penetration at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Thereby, the specific capacitance of PAN-derived pure CNFs increased from 60.2 Fg −1 to a maximum of 436.5 Fg −1 for the hybrid membrane MCNFs, showing a significant enhancement compared to CNFs alone, making it an efficient energy storage device.

Solvent-free nanofluids were synthesized by grafting an organic oligomer shell onto the nanomaterial core, demonstrating significant liquid flow behavior at room temperature without any solvents. The synergistic effect within the solid–liquid combination found in solvent-free nanofluids positions them as potential lubricant candidates. In this study, solvent-free MXene@Fe3O4 nanofluids (MXene@Fe3O4 NFs) were successfully synthesized by loading Fe3O4 nanoparticles in situ onto MXene nanosheets, followed by covalent grafting with a silane coupling agent and a flexible long-chain polyetheramine. Its magnetic response properties were then assessed, highlighting its potential for recyclability. The tribological performance of MXene@Fe3O4 NFs as lubricants was examined under varying operating conditions with a focus on the morphology and chemical composition of the worn surface to elucidate the lubrication mechanism. The results reveal that MXene@Fe3O4 NFs, compared to MXene NFs and Fe3O4 NFs, exhibit optimal tribological performance. Additionally, even under severe loads, temperatures, or frequencies, MXene@Fe3O4 NFs show superior friction-reduction and wear-resistant properties. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fluidity endowed by the organic shell layer coupled with the synergistic tribological effects between MXene nanosheets and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. As solid–liquid lubricants with magnetic responsivity, MXene@Fe3O4 NFs present an effective strategy for high-performance lubricants synthesis.

Wearable electronic sensors have recently attracted tremendous attention in applications such as personal health monitoring, human movement detection, and sensory skins as they offer a promising alternative to counterparts made from traditional metallic conductors and bulky metallic conductors. However, the real-world use of most wearable sensors is often hindered by their limited stretchability and sensitivity, and ultimately, their difficulty to integrate into textiles. To overcome these limitations, wearable sensors can incorporate flexible conductive fibers as electrically active components. In this study, we adopt a scalable wet-spinning approach to directly produce flexible and conductive fibers from aqueous mixtures of Ti3C2TxMXene and natural rubber (NR). The electrical conductivity and stretchability of these fibers were tuned by varying their MXene loading, enabling knittability into textiles for wearable sensors. As individual filaments, these MXene/NR fibers exhibit suitable conductivity dependence on strain variations, making them ideal for motivating sensors. Meanwhile, textiles from knitted MXene/NR fibers demonstrate great stability as capacitive touch sensors. Collectively, we believe that these elastic and conductive MXene/NR-based fibers and textiles are promising candidates for wearable sensors and smart textiles.

The development of efficient and robust metal nanoparticle catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol is crucial for advancing green chemistry. This study presents a class of ceria nanoparticle catalysts, designated as Ce-NC/CFMX-T, where “T” denotes the pyrolysis temperature. These catalysts are synthesized by pyrolyzing a mixture of Ce-MOF-801/CFMX and dicyandiamide at high temperatures, aimed at the liquid-phase aerobic oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, using molecular oxygen as the oxidizing agent and avoiding harmful additives or bases. Among the synthesized catalysts, Ce-NC/CFMX-973 exhibited exceptional catalytic efficiency, achieving over 99.9% conversion of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol and complete selectivity for 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. This performance was achieved under moderate conditions, using xylene as the solvent at 373 K over 8 h and an oxygen pressure of 1 atm. Kinetic analysis revealed that the activation energy for oxidizing 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol using Ce-NC/CFMX-973 was 68.5 ± 3.0 kJ/mol, which is lower than the values observed for Ce-C/CFMX-973, Ce-NC-973, and Ce-C-973. The remarkable catalytic performance of the Ce-NC/CFMX-973 catalyst is attributed to the synergistic effects between CeO2 nanoparticles and oxygen vacancies, along with the support’s balanced acidity and basicity properties.
