Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene has been explored as an efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material because of its high electrical conductivity , large specific surface area, rich surface defects , and abundant functional groups. Herein, core-shell Fe 3 O 4 @PANI composites were prepared, followed by the preparation of a flexible and lightweight Ti 3 C 2 T x /Fe 3 O 4 @PANI composite film with sandwich intercalation structure by vacuum-assisted filtration, using Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as a matrix material. The ultrathin composite film with a Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets to Fe 3 O 4 @PANI weight ratio of 12:5 reached a maximum EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) value of 58.8 dB at a thickness of only 12.1 μm. This is much higher than the SE of pure conductive Ti 3 C 2 T x films of the same thickness. After adjusting the film thickness by increasing the concentration of Ti 3 C 2 T x , an SE of 62 dB was achieved at a thickness of 16.7 μm. The ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 T x /Fe 3 O 4 @PANI films exhibit potential for application in packaging, wearable electronic equipment, and military fields. Moreover, they provide insight into the preparation of lightweight and progressive electromagnetic shielding materials.

Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based coaxial zinc-ion hybrid fiber supercapacitors (FSCs) were fabricated with braided structure, which can be prepared continuously and present excellent flexibility and ultrastability.
A sports watch driven by the watch belts which weaved uses the obtained zinc-ion hybrid FSC and LED arrays lighted by the FSCs under embedding into textiles, demonstrating the great potential application in smart wearable textiles.
Abstract Zinc-ion hybrid fiber supercapacitors (FSCs) are promising energy storages for wearable electronics owing to their high energy density, good flexibility, and weavability. However, it is still a critical challenge to optimize the structure of the designed FSC to improve energy density and realize the continuous fabrication of super-long FSCs. Herein, we propose a braided coaxial zinc-ion hybrid FSC with several meters of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene cathode as core electrodes, and shell zinc fiber anode was braided on the surface of the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene fibers across the solid electrolytes. According to the simulated results using ANSYS Maxwell software, the braided structures revealed a higher capacitance compared to the spring-like structures. The resulting FSCs exhibited a high areal capacitance of 214 mF cm –2 , the energy density of 42.8 μWh cm −2 at 5 mV s −1 , and excellent cycling stability with 83.58% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. The coaxial FSC was tied several kinds of knots, proving a shape-controllable fiber energy storage. Furthermore, the knitted FSC showed superior stability and weavability, which can be woven into watch belts or embedded into textiles to power smart watches and LED arrays for a few days.

The efficient electroreduction reaction of nitrate (NO3−RR) at low concentrations to ammonia is energetically favorable for ammonia production and environmentally essential to treat water contamination. Copper-based conjugated molecule electrocatalysts for the NO3−RR are advantageous in terms of their customizable Cu-coordinative micro-environment and facile preparation; however, they easily agglomerate due to their large π-conjugating system, which severely lowers the active site density and increases the internal resistance. This study demonstrates that Ti3C2Tx MXenes are promising supports to disperse and anchor a molecular catalyst (copper phthalocyanine, CuPc) to construct a CuPc@MXene electrocatalyst in order to significantly promote NO3−RR performance. 10% CuPc@MXene achieved higher ammonia selectivity (94.0%) and higher nitrate conversion (90.5%) compared to those of unsupported CuPc, and retained high ammonia selectivity (∼80%) after seven recycling tests. The combination of online differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations has showed that CuPc molecules are able to inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction and effectively convert nitrate into ammonia through the ONH reaction pathway. The results showed that the MXene support is applicable to many metal phthalocyanines (MPcs, M = Fe, Co, Ni), demonstrating its potential in other electrochemical catalysis applications.

Two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes exposing different active facets are introduced into MgH 2 , and their catalytic effects are systematically investigated in depth through experimental and theoretical approaches. Excluding factors such as interlayer space, surface functional groups and experimental contingency, the exposed facets is considered to be the dominant factor for catalytic activity of Ti 3 C 2 T x towards MgH 2 . More exposed edge facets of Ti 3 C 2 T x displays higher catalytic activity than that with more exposed basal facets, which also leads to different rate-controlling steps of MgH 2 in the de/hydrogenation process. The low work function, strong hydrogen affinity and high content of in situ metallic Ti for the edge facet contribute the high catalytic activity. This work will give insights into the structural design of two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene used for enhancing the catalytic activity in various fields.

An appropriate electron transport layer (ETL) or cathode buffer layer (CBL) is critical for high-performance perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). In this work, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH)-functionalized Ti3C2Tx MXene (TBAOH-Ti3C2Tx) is developed to improve the photovoltaic performance of PVSCs. TBAOH-Ti3C2Tx is synthesized by HF etching and then TBAOH intercalation, and TBAOH can effectively attach to the Ti3C2Tx surface during the intercalation process. In hole transport material (HTM)-free carbon-based PVSCs with the structure of ITO/ETL/MAPbI3/carbon, the SnO2 doped by TBAOH-Ti3C2Tx (SnO2:TBAOH-Ti3C2Tx) as ETL shows decreased WF and increased conductivity and improves the growth of the perovskite film with a larger grain and significantly reduced defects, which synergistically facilitate charge transport and extraction and reduce charge recombination. The HTM-free carbon-based PVSC with SnO2:TBAOH-Ti3C2Tx ETL exhibits a significantly higher PCE of 14.93% with enhanced device stability compared to the control device with pristine SnO2 ETL (11.95%) and also outperforms most of the HTM-free carbon-based PVSCs with MAPbI3 perovskite reported so far. In traditional inverted PVSCs with the structure of ITO/PTAA/MAPbI3/PCBM/CBL/Ag, the TBAOH-Ti3C2Tx is utilized as a CBL to significantly enhance device performance with a high PCE of 21.16%, which is obviously superior than that (16.26%) of the control device without CBL. The impressive results indicate that tetrabutylammonium hydroxide-functionalized Ti3C2Tx MXene possesses great application potential in different functional layers for high-performance PVSCs.

Carbon nanofibers can be widely used in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption due to corrosion resistance, low density and good chemical stability. Here, we report a strategy to achieve strong microwave absorption capability by adjusting the crystallinity of carbon nanofibers containing Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 . TiO 2 with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as a precursor decreases the crystallization temperature of Al 2 O 3 from 1400 °C to 800 °C in the carbon nanofibers. The diameter distribution of carbon nanofibers is uniform, though the surface of carbon nanofibers is getting rough with Ti 3 C 2 T x content increasing. The minimum reflection loss of carbon nanofibers is -55.78 dB at a thickness of 4.32 mm; the effective absorption bandwidth reaches 5.41 GHz (12.59-18 GHz) at a thickness of 1.67 mm, almost covering the Ku band. The excellent microwave absorption performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the non-crystalline carbon matrix and crystalline Al 2 O 3 /TiO 2 , in which the former improves impedance matching with free space, while the latter enhances the attenuation capability to the electromagnetic wave.

Although hydrophilic and electrically conductive transition-metal carbon/nitride (MXenes) nanosheets hold great promise for electrically conductive and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications, the weak interaction among MXene nanosheets makes them difficult to form compressible three-dimensional architectures with high conductivity. Herein, inspired by the plant “Parthenocissus tricuspidata”, an efficient approach is demonstrated to fabricate conductive and lightweight Ti3C2Tx MXene/acidified carbon nanotube anisotropic aerogels (MCAs) with superelasticity and high thermal insulation. The MXene nanosheets construct the anisotropic and porous skeleton, while the acidified carbon nanotubes reinforce the pore walls of MXene nanosheets, making the MCAs superelastic and compressible. The superelastic MCA with only 5 wt % of the acidified carbon nanotubes is structurally stable during cyclic compressions at both high and ultralow temperatures. Its high conductivity (447.2 S m–1) and ultralow density (9.1 mg cm–3) endow its paraffin composite with a high EMI shielding efficiency of ∼51 dB at an ultralow filler content of 0.3 vol %. When the density of MCA increases to 18.2 mg cm–3, its EMI shielding effectiveness reaches 90 dB. Additionally, the porous and ultralight MCAs exhibit better thermal insulation performances as compared to commercial melamine and polystyrene foams. Therefore, the superelastic, electrically conductive, lightweight, and thermally insulating MCAs would be promising for EMI shielding applications in space equipment and portable wearable devices.

Charge/light-related advancements have greatly pushed the development of modern technology, and the relationship between charge and light is worth exploring. While research into the applications of light and charge flow (photoelectric current) is in full swing, studies on the reaction between light and electrostatic charge have made little progress on rare ways to realize photo-stimulated discharge. Herein, we link electrostatic charge and light using a bridge of intense heat, which is produced from the efficient photothermal conversion of Ti3C2Tx MXene. The in situ photothermal conversion and selective thermally stimulated discharge are successfully combined, then novel light-induced electrostatic lithography can be realized on both polymethyl methacrylate glasses and nanofilms. In this process the surface temperature of Ti3C2Tx film can be as high as 300 °C using 808 nm near-infrared irradiation at a power density of 1.7 W cm−2. The combination of light and electrostatic charge is also successfully applied to electrostatic printing and chemical reactions.

Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene has been regarded as a promising candidate for advanced microwave absorption materials. However, the microwave absorbing performance of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene is suppressed by the single dielectric loss mechanism and impedance mismatch because of the high conductivity. To effectuate a good absorption capability of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, this paper constructs a heterostructured Co/Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrid by atomic layer deposition of magnetic Co nanoparticles on Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets . The microstructures, magnetism , and microwave absorption behaviors of the Co/Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrids are investigated systematically. The results show that the frequency-dependent electromagnetic parameters of the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene become tunable by controlling the content of Co decorations, which are conducive to both magnetic loss and impedance matching . The Co/Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrid with ultralow Co decoration content (only 1.52 wt%) achieves the minimum reflect loss of −54.32 dB at a thin matched thickness of 1.29 mm, and the corresponding effective absorption bandwidth with reflection loss below −10 dB reaches 4.29 GHz. The atomic layer deposited magnetic metal nanostructures provides an effective strategy for preparing MXene-based hybrids which not only have high absorption efficiency but also significantly reduce the use of magnetic metals.

Aerogel-based composites, renowned for their three-dimensional (3D) network architecture, are gaining increasing attention as lightweight electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers. However, attaining high reflection loss, broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB), and ultrathin thickness concurrently presents a formidable challenge, owing to the stringent demands for precise structural regulation and incorporation of magnetic/dielectric multicomponents with synergistic loss mechanisms within the 3D networks. In this study, we successfully synthesized a 3D hierarchical porous Fe3O4/MoS2/rGO/Ti3C2Tx MXene (FMGM) composite aerogel via directional freezing and subsequent heat treatment processes. Owing to their ingenious structure and multicomponent design, the FMGM aerogels, featured with abundant heterogeneous interface structure and magnetic/dielectric synergism, show exceptional impedance matching characteristics and diverse EM wave absorption mechanisms. After optimization, the prepared ultralight (6.4 mg cm–3) FMGM-2 aerogel exhibits outstanding EM wave absorption performance, achieving a minimal reflection loss of −66.92 dB at a thickness of 3.61 mm and an EAB of 6.08 GHz corresponding to the thickness of 2.3 mm, outperforming most of the previously reported aerogel-based absorbing materials. This research presents an effective strategy for fabricating lightweight, ultrathin, highly efficient, and broad band EM wave absorption materials.

Pathogenic bacteria represent a considerable threat to public health and food safety, necessitating the development of advanced detection methodologies. In this study, a novel fluorescence sensing platform based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was established to detect Pathogenic bacteria with rapid response, exceptional sensitivity, and stable selectivity. Using carboxyl-modified Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x -COOH) as nanocarriers, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) were assembled to functionalize the MXene for rapidly efficient quenching of fluorescence dye-labeled aptamers and specific recognition of target bacteria. Upon the incorporation of target bacteria, the aptamer preferentially bound to bacteria, dissociating from the MXene and resulting in a significant and rapid increase in fluorescence intensity. Using E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus as exemplar biotargets, the sensor demonstrated ultra-sensitive detection of E. coli O157:H7 and S. aureus with limits of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) as low as 0.61 CFU/mL and 1.62 CFU/mL, respectively, within a rapid response time of 15 min, thereby demonstrating superior performance in comparison to the majority of existing FRET-based biosensors. Moreover, this method demonstrates excellent reproducibility and stability, having been successfully applied to spiked milk samples. The recovery rates for S. aureus ranged from 90.2 % to 114.3 %, with acceptable RSDs of 1.4 % to 7.4 %, while those for E. coli O157:H7 ranged from 91.7 % to 93.6 %, with acceptable RSDs of 5.2 % to 8.7 %, confirming its strong potential for practical sample analysis. The present study establishes a foundational framework for subsequent research into biosensors for detecting targets and provides a new pathway for the analysis of other biological factors.

Designing transition metal phosphides (TMPs) with remarkable performance and high stability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a significant role in the commercial application of water splitting. Bimetallic phosphide (NiCoP) exhibits favorable electrocatalytic activity; however, it still suffers from intrinsic limitations such as insufficient intrinsic activity, inferior electrical conductivity, and a tendency toward particle agglomeration. To address these issues, a CeO 2 modified NiCoP particle catalyst (referred to as CeO 2 -NiCoP/Ti 3 C 2 T x ) loaded on a few layers of Ti 3 C 2 Tx MXene was synthesized using an HCl/LiF etching and hydrothermal phosphorization method. The CeO 2 -NiCoP/Ti 3 C 2 T x catalyst exhibits significantly lower overpotentials (287 mV for OER and 147 mV for HER) to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the catalyst demonstrates outstanding durability, with 93.6% and 84.6% retention of its activity after 27 h of OER and 25 h of HER, respectively.The favorable performance of CeO 2 -NiCoP/Ti 3 C 2 T x in HER and OER can be attributed to several advantages. Few-layer Ti 3 C 2 T x enhances the electrical conductivity of the material, and its large specific surface area prevents particle agglomeration, thus improving the material stability.The -O/-OH functional groups on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x endow the material with strong hydrophilicity, which facilitates the full contact between active sites and the electrolyte and accelerates the mass transfer and charge transfer kinetics. CeO 2 effectively optimizes the adsorption energy of NiCoP toward hydrogen intermediates by regulating the microelectronic structure of NiCoP, thereby boosting the HER kinetics.
