construction of the Schottky-junction is considered to be a valid route to boost the spatial charge separation and transfer of the photocatalytic system. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were prepared by an annealing route, and then a 2D/2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction was fabricated using an in-situ electrostatic assembly of negatively charged Ti 3 C 2 MXene and positively charged O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction exhibited almost two times enhanced hydrogen evolution (25124 μmol/g/h) in comparison to pristine O-doped g-C 3 N 4 (13745 μmol/g/h) and Ti 3 C 2 MXene/pristine C 3 N 4 (15573 μmol/g/h). Based on fully characterizations and theory calculation, the enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the synergy effect of intimate 2D/2D interfacial contact and the construction of Schottky-junction, which result in the short charge transport distance from HCN to Ti 3 C 2 MXene and efficient separation of the photo-generated charge. This study will provide new insight into developing 2D/2D Schottky-junction photocatalysts for the solution of the energy crisis.

Separation membrane with laminar structure, assembled by two-dimensional materials, has been widely explored to achieve precise molecular separation and high water permeability in the field of water purification. Herein, a novel GO-based nanofiltration membrane intercalated with TiO2 nanoparticles was fabricated by the in situ oxidation of MXene nanosheets. The formation of TiO2 nanocrystals, derived from the oxidation of MXene, created additional channels for water permeation. Particularly, the consecutively distributed TiO2 nanocrystals acted as intercalators owing to their laminar structure and created continuous nanochannels within GO membrane for water transport, which shows great advantages over the membrane prepared using traditional methods. Water permeability of the obtained membrane reached 89.6 L m−2 h−1 bar−1, which is 7.3 times that of pristine GO membrane and 2.4 times that of GO/TiO2 membrane fabricated using traditional methods. The rejection rate for four different organic dyes is above 97%. The highly improved water permeability with no obvious sacrifice of rejection rate was attributed to the presence of continuous nanochannels obtained via the in situ oxidation of MXene without destroying the intrinsic stacking structure of GO sheets. This study offers a novel strategy to fabricate continuous nanochannels within the separation membrane with a two-dimensional laminar structure.

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media is key for the cathodic reaction of electrochemical water splitting, but it suffers sluggish kinetics due to the slow water dissociation process. Here, we present a simple strategy to enhance the HER activity in alkaline media by engineering Co-doped MoS2 coupled with Mo2CTx MXene. The improved HER activity might be ascribed to the synergistic regulation of water dissociation sites and electronic conductivity. Co doping could effectively regulate the electronic structure of MoS2 and further improve the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. Mo2CTx MXene served as both the active and conductive substrate to facilitate electron transfer. As a result, the Co-MoS2/Mo2CTx nanohybrids showed dramatically enhanced HER performance with a low overpotential of 112 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and exhibited excellent long-term stability in alkaline media.

The presented work compared the etching behavior between combustion synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 (SHS-Ti 3 AlC 2 ) and pressureless synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 (PLS-Ti 3 AlC 2 ). Because the former had a more compact structure, it was harder to be etched than PLS-Ti 3 AlC 2 under the same conditions. When served as anode material for Li-ion batteries, SHS-Ti 3 C 2 showed much lower capacity than PLS-Ti 3 C 2 at 1 C (52.7 and 87.4 mAh g −1 , respectively) due to the smaller d -spacing. Furthermore, Potentiostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (PITT) was used to determine the Li-ion chemical diffusion coefficient ( D Li + ) of Ti 3 C 2 in the range of 10 −10 − 10 −9 cm 2 s −1 , indicating that Ti 3 C 2 could exhibit an excellent diffusion mobility for Li-ion.

Two-dimensional (2D) few-layered Ti3C2TX MXene (f-Ti3C2TX) has been proved to be one of the most promising electromagnetic interference (EMI) materials, but its electromagnetic (EM) absorption properties and loss mechanism have not been studied so far. Herein, for the first time, ordered lamellar f-Ti3C2TX/SiCnws hybrid foams with ultralow density are synthesized by a combination of self-assembly and bidirectional freezing processes. The freestanding foams exhibit excellent EM absorption properties superior to most of the current foam-based counterparts. The effective absorption bandwidth is always able to cover the whole X-band, when the sample thicknesses of f-Ti3C2TX/SiCnws hybrid foams distribute in any value between 3.5 and 3.8 mm, and the minimum reflection coefficient reaches −55.7 dB at an ultralow density of only about 0.029 g·cm–3. The fundamental mechanism associated with optimized impedance matching, enhanced polarization loss, and conductive loss is discussed in detail. Our results evidence that 2D flexible f-Ti3C2TX MXene has great potential in EM absorption field like graphene.

Wearable, noninvasive sensors enable the continuous monitoring of metabolites in sweat and provide clinical information related to an individual’s health and disease states. Uric acid (UA) is a key indicator highly associated with gout, hyperuricaemia, hypertension, kidney disease, and Lesch–Nyhan syndrome. However, the detection of UA levels typically relies on invasive blood tests. Therefore, developing a wearable device for noninvasive monitoring of UA concentrations in sweat could facilitate real-time personalized disease prevention. Here, we introduce 1,3,6,8-pyrene tetrasulfonic acid sodium salt (PyTS) as a bifunctional molecule functionalized with Ti3C2Tx via π–π conjugation to design nonenzymatic wearable sensors for sensitive and selective detection of UA concentration in human sweat. PyTS@Ti3C2Tx provides many oxidation–reduction active groups to enhance the electrocatalytic ability of the UA oxidation reaction. The PyTS@Ti3C2Tx-based electrochemical sensor demonstrates highly sensitive detection of UA in the concentration range of 5 μM–100 μM, exhibiting a lower detection limit of 0.48 μM compared to the uricase-based sensor (0.84 μM). In volunteers, the PyTS@Ti3C2Tx-based wearable sensor is integrated with flexible microfluidic sweat sampling and wireless electronics to enable real-time monitoring of UA levels during aerobic exercise. Simultaneously, it allows for comparison of blood UA levels via a commercial UA analyzer. Herein, this study provides a promising electrocatalyst strategy for nonenzymatic electrochemical UA sensor, enabling noninvasive real-time monitoring of UA levels in human sweat and personalized disease prevention.

Artificial ion channels with controllable mono/monovalent cation separation fulfill important roles in biomedicine, ion separation, and energy conversion. However, it remains a daunting challenge to develop an artificial ion channel similar to biological ion channels due to ion-ion competitive transport and lack of ion-gating ability of channels. Here, we report a conductive MXene membrane with polydopamine-confined angstrom-scale channels and propose a voltage gating and ion charge comediation strategy to concurrently achieve gated and selective mono/monovalent cation separation. The membrane shows a highly switchable “on-off” ratio of ∼9.9 for K+ transport and an excellent K+/Li+ selectivity of 40.9, outperforming the ion selectivity of reported membranes with electrical gating (typically 1.5 to 6). Theoretical simulations reveal that the introduced high-charge cations such as Mg2+ enable the preferential distribution of target K+ over competing Li+ at the channel entrance, and the surface potential reduces the ionic transport energy barrier for allowing K+ to pass quickly through the channel.

Achieving multifunctional integration with comfortability and durability comparable to conventional textiles is one of the ultimate pursuits of personal protective wearables. Herein, a multi-protective textile with breathable, moisture-permeable and washable properties is reported, which is realized by cross-linking of electroactive MXene@gallic acid (MG) with the cationized cotton. Cationic modification reduces the charge repulsion between MG and cotton fibers, and promotes the deposition of conductive media on textile surface. After borax (STB) cross-linking, the obtained textile exhibits superior service stability and can be subjected to conventional washing, exhibiting antioxidant stability during natural storage. Importantly, the cross-linked textile inherits the properties of good breathability, softness and bendability as the original fabric. With the outstanding conductivity (260 mS/cm) and high absorptivity of the solar spectrum (0.920), the textile was used for Joule heating and solar heating, demonstrating their potential in the field of thermal management. Meanwhile, the textile demonstrates excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus , and maintained satisfactory antibacterial effect (>90 %) even after ten washing cycles. This facile strategy for fabricating personal protective textiles, based on cross-linking cotton fiber with electroactive mediators offers favorable durability, comfortability and multifunctionality, providing a scalable and sustainable approach for manufacturing multi-protective wearables.

Textile-based wearable electronic devices have gained significant attention due to their promising applications in personal thermal management, human healthcare monitoring, and human motion detection. Herein, a multifunctional MXene-decorated textile has been fabricated as a promising wearable electronic textile for thermal management, durable self-cleaning, bio-protection and wearable strain sensor. In this study, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets , which are followed by surface engineering with mussel-inspired polydopamine coatings and hydrophobic octadecyl trimethoxysilane, are chosen as active materials for constructing multifunctional MXene-decorated textile. Thus, the multifunctional MXene-decorated textile (Cotton@ODMX) is fabricated by spray-coating the hydrophobic MXene-based composites (ODMX) onto the surface of the cotton textile. Such a Cotton@ODMX epitomizes a highly innovative electronic textile that not only retains the flexibility of the original textile, but also possesses remarkable superhydrophobic properties, outstanding photothermal conversion performance, photothermal self-healing capabilities, environmental stability and exceptional photothermal sterilization capabilities. More importantly, Cotton@ODMX is demonstrated to serve as a wearable strain sensor to monitor fundamental human movements, thus highlighting its impressive sensing capabilities. This work offers valuable insights for the development of multifunctional, flexible and wearable electronic devices with promising potential in personal thermal management, human healthcare monitoring, and human motion detection.

Two-dimensional (2D) catalytic ultrafiltration membranes, tightly assembled with MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) lamellae and significantly dispersed Co single atoms (∼ 2.4 wt%), were prepared by a simple solvothermal and low-temperature reduction method. The Co-MXene membrane overcomes the conventional trade-off between selectivity and permeability, and demonstrated an instant water purification (100 % carbamazepine degradation within 240 ms) and a high membrane permeability (∼900 LMH/bar). It has been confirmed that coordinatively unsaturated Co-N 1 O 2 accelerated electron transfer and activated the formation of 1 O 2 and high-valent Co-oxo species. Nano-confinement channels assembled by the small-sized lamellae facilitated the transport of water molecules. A stable treatment performance with natural surface water was achieved at 3000 L/m 2 . Good anti-fouling capabilities were also demonstrated with a 96 % alleviation of membrane fouling in the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These comprehensive mechanistic investigations and stable performances provide a valuable basis for preparing SACs-catalyzed membranes with highly dispersed single atoms and high permeability.

The growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has posed challenges in treating associated bacterial infections, while the development of multi-model antibacterial strategies could efficient sterilization to prevent drug resistance. High-entropy MXene has emerged as a promising candidate for antibacterial synergy with inherent photothermal and photodynamic properties. Herein, a high-entropy nanomaterial of MXene/CDs was synthesized to amplify oxidative stress under near-infrared laser irradiation. Well-exfoliated MXene nanosheets have proven to show an excellent photothermal effect for sterilization. The incorporation of CDs could provide photo-generated electrons for MXene nanosheets to generate ROS, meanwhile reducing the recombination of electron-hole pairs to further accelerate the generation of photo-generated electrons. The MXene/CDs material demonstrates outstanding synergistic photothermal and photodynamic effects, possesses excellent biocompatibility and successfully eliminates drug-resistant bacteria as well as inhibits biofilm formation. While attaining a remarkable killing efficiency of up to 99.99% against drug-resistant Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , it also demonstrates outstanding antibacterial effects against four additional bacterial strains. This work not only establishes a synthesis precedent for preparing high-entropy MXene materials with CDs but also provides a potential approach for addressing the issue of drug-resistant bacterial infections.
