Conductive hydrogels are viewed as the most promising materials for flexible devices. However, their applications in aquatic environments are severely limited by their inevitable swelling behavior. Herein, we report a MXene-based polyampholyte anti-swelling hydrogel possessing high stretchability (1391%), good conductivity, admirable self-healing ability (healing efficiency reached 66% after healing for 1 h), and fast photoresponsive behavior. Besides, the hydrogel-based sensor displayed a wide sensing range (2–400%) and could realize underwater monitoring and communication. More importantly, an underwater warning system was assembled, which can offer efficient real-time underwater positioning and urban waterlogging pre-warning. This work provides a new strategy for developing anti-swelling hydrogel sensors and expands their potential applications in marine exploitation and urban construction.

The magnesium (Mg) metal anodes of magnesium batteries have attracted significant attention because of their high theoretical capacity, high safety, and low cost. Their development is hindered by the passivation characteristics of magnesium, especially the serious voltage lag and corrosion polarization in aqueous solutions. This study demonstrates a novel approach involving the electrophoresis deposition on the surface of a magnesium electrode with MXene@ZIF-67. MXene@ZIF-67 is a heterojunction material with a core-shell structure obtained from MXene and ZIF-67 by the in-situ growth method. The addition of ZIF-67 not only solves the problem of MXene layer-to-layer instability, but also improves the corrosion resistance of magnesium metal by utilizing the properties of ZIF-67 material topology. The core-shell structure design of the modified film layer enables MXene and ZIF-67 to achieve efficient synergy. On the one hand, the unique lamellar structure of MXene is utilized to achieve uniform Mg 2 + flux and reduce the interfacial resistance of the magnesium anode, and on the other hand, the unique ionic conductor performance of ZIF-67 enables precise separation of solvent molecules and simultaneous selective Mg 2+ transport. So, the film is beneficial for interfacial stability and reaction kinetics. The modified Mg battery exhibits a reduction in voltage lag time from 7.2 seconds to 1.3 seconds. A notable reduction in polarity and enhanced stability in plating and stripping was observed in magnesium metal battery for 300 cycles. The DFT calculations show that there is a high adsorption energy between the MXene@ZIF-67 film and the magnesium alloy.

Efficient recovery of Li + from lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), which also include Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , or Mn 2+ in the cathode material, remains a formidable challenge because the sizes and physicochemical properties of these ions. Composite lamellar membranes are emerging as highly ion-selective nanochannels with controllable interlayers. Herein, Li + /Co 2+ was precisely separated through two-dimensional MXene/δ-MnO 2 composite nanochannels under an electric field. The nanochannels were constructed on tubular ceramic membranes via hydroxyl crosslinking. The membrane layer spacing can be extended to 5.7 Å by electrostatic repulsion between MXene and δ-MnO 2 nanosheets, which is suitable for Li + /Co 2+ separation. Under an electric field of 2 mA cm −2 , Li + /Co 2+ was nearly completely separated, with a high Li + flux of 0.0094 mol m -2 h −1 , and the energy consumption was ∼0.315 kW h (mol Li + ) -1 . Similarly, near-complete separation of Li + /Ni 2+ and Li + /Mn 2+ can be achieved at a current density of 2 mA cm −2 . The transport of Li + in solution was accelerated under a positive electric field and by partial dehydration in the nanopores. Meanwhile, the zeta potential was distinctly more negative in the composite membranes than in individual MXene or δ-MnO 2 . Consequently, Co 2+ was rapidly adsorbed on the negatively charged membrane surface through electrostatic interactions and complexation, forming a positively charged Co 2+ layer that electrostatically repelled further Co 2+ adsorption, ultimately achieving near-complete separation of Co 2+ . Owing to their stable and robust structure, the MXene/δ-MnO 2 membranes maintained high separation efficiency in acidic solutions containing Li + and Co 2+ and remained stable over eight cycles (up to 14 h) of ion separation under an electric field. This approach can potentially realize 2D membrane composites for efficient ion separation in practical applications.

This work proposed introducing nanoscale Fe-Zr oxides onto the layered-surfaces of MXene carriers to maintain well dispersion and anchoring stabilization. The results indicated that Fe-Zr oxide/MXene has a superior adsorption capacity of 209.1 mg/g at pH 7.0. The mass transfer of antimonite onto Fe-Zr oxide/MXene was investigated by numerical solving the homogeneous surface diffusion model. The external mass transfer coefficient ( k f ) and surface diffusion coefficient ( D S ) were determined to be 6.48 × 10 −4 and 1.86 × 10 −8 cm/min, respectively, and the latter was rate-limited. The 2-D profiles of Sb(III) diffusion within the adsorbents were visualized. Data mining and knowledge discovery using machine learning models indicated that the gradient boosting regression (GBR) model successfully predicted the test datasets. The operational conditions outweigh adsorbent properties in capacity prediction, and equilibrium concentration and adsorbent dose, are the most two important features. Using the trained GBR model, the Sb(III) adsorption capacities of MXene (Ti 3 C 2 ) and Fe-Zr/MXene were well predicted. This work provides insights on understanding the mass transfer mechanisms of Sb(III) in functionalized-MXene adsorbents and employing machine learning models for tuning the treatments for better achievements.

Fiber-based wearable electronics represent an advanced technology, enabling innovative applications in flexible, lightweight, and textile-integrated systems for continuous, non-invasive health monitoring. This research introduces a novel method for fabricating highly stretchable, conductive microfibers through a wet-spinning process that incorporates carboxylated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene into a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) fiber matrix. By employing the synergistic effects between the one-dimensional (1D) CNTs and two-dimensional (2D) MXene, our approach significantly improves both mechanical robustness and sensitivity to deformation in the composite conductive network, effectively overcoming the limitations typically encountered in single-filler fibers. The SEBS/CNTs-Ti 3 C 2 T x composite fibers exhibit outstanding mechanical performance, with an elongation at break surpassing 1000 %, and are capable of enduring substantial strain without compromising electrical conductivity. These fibers maintain exceptional electromechanical stability and sensitivity across a wide range of strain conditions, ensuring reliable, real-time monitoring of human motion signals. Furthermore, a textile woven from these composite fibers shows impressive electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance, achieving an effectiveness of 45.1 dB within the 8.2–12.8 GHz frequency range. This bi-functionality emphasizes the substantial potential of the SEBS/CNTs-Ti 3 C 2 T x composite fibers for both healthcare and smart textile industries.

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 paramount target in advancing high-efficiency lithium-sulfur (Li–S) batteries lies in hindering polysulfides shuttling and enhancing redox kinetics. Herein, the covalent organic frameworks (designated as TBCOF) are grafted in-situ on the surface of MXene to achieve MXene@TBCOF heterostructure at ambient temperature, modulating the kinetics behavior of ions owing to its unparalleled ionic sieving functionality. The resultant compound possesses a gradient (non-conductive/ conductive) electric field effect, well-defined porous architecture, and abundant sulfophilic/lithiophilic sites, enriching the chemical space of 0D-2D heterostructures. By harnessing the multiple-in-one characteristics of MXene@TBCOF heterostructure, the formed electron-bridge of integrated conductive MXene in heterostructures prohibits the accumulation of TBCOF and MXene, serving as a versatile accelerator for the polysulfides bidirectional evolution, as comprehensively evidenced by theoretical analysis and pouch cells. Therefore, the batteries equipped with MXene@TBCOF functional separator acquire a brilliant cyclicity at a current density of 1C (with capacity decaying rate of merely 0.0191 % per cycle) during 1500 cycles. Impressively, even with a sulfur loading up to 9.31 mg cm −2 , the batteries exhibit a superior area capacity of 7.14 mAh cm −2 after enduring 90 cycles. This work proposes an innovative one-step synthesis strategy to construct catalytic “ion-sieving” heterostructure via covalent coupling for practical Li-S batteries.

Wound dressings can generally complete hemostasis and provide temporary protection after skin damage. Herein, a MXene-based hydrogel was prepared from MXene, gelatin, poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA) and N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (HEAA) to prepare wound-dressing hydrogels for skin repair. HEAA and PEGDA crosslink polymerization formed the first layer of the network. Hydrogen bonds between MXene, PHEAA, and gelatin formed the second layer of the network. To make the hydrogel more suitable for skin repair, the mechanical properties of the hybrid hydrogel were adjusted. The MXene-based hydrogel could recover its original shape in 16 s upon immersion in water or for a few minutes under light irradiation. The obtained hydrogel showed good photothermal properties upon light irradiation (808 nm, 1 W cm−2) for 20 s, and its temperature on the surface could reach 86.4 °C. Due to its good photothermal properties, this MXene-based hydrogel was suitable for skin repair.

Optimizing the performance of layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrodes by MXene is of significant importance for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors. In this paper, CoAl-LDH nanosheet-doped s-MXene composites were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method, and two-dimensional layered microstructured CoAl-LDH/s-MXene electrode materials with excellent performance were prepared. The homogeneous growth of CoAl-LDH on s-MXene successfully hinders the agglomeration of CoAl-LDH and provides more layered channels for electron and ion transfer across the electrode material. In addition, CoAl-LDH can effectively suppress the stacking of s-MXene, which increases the electrochemical active site of the material, resulting in an increase in specific capacity. The CoAl-LDH/s-MXene electrode material has a high specific capacity of 1259.9 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 , which has outstanding specific capacity and rate capability. The assembled asymmetric CoAl-LDH/s-MXene//AC supercapacitor achieves the desired energy density of 104 and 88 Wh kg −1 at 1500 and 6000 W kg −1 . After 5000 laps at 10 A g −1 , CoAl-LDH/s-MXene//AC has a capacitance retention rate of 86.6% and a coulomb efficiency of nearly 100%, demonstrating its splendid cycling stability. Therefore, this paper adopts a simple hydrothermal method to prepare CoAl-LDH/s-MXene active material, which provides an effective strategy for constructing supercapacitors with excellent performance.

The waste MXene sediments (MXS) generated during the Ti 3 AlC 2 MAX etching process could not be further utilized, resulting in a significant waste of resources. Herein, the ice-template freeze-drying process was used to promote the spontaneous aggregation of waste MXS into 2D layers with micrometer-scale lateral dimensions. A polydopamine (PDA) layer was constructed on the MXS surface to enhance its mechanical strength while providing its abundant surface-active groups. The fibrillation of cellulose was achieved by deep eutectic solvent treatment of waste wood for lignin cleavage and further sodium chlorite bleaching process to obtain nanocellulose (NC). The low-speed ball-milling process was used to achieve homogeneous mixing and structural self-assembly between MXS@PDA and NC to achieve high value-added applications for MXS and wood materials. The polymer-based composites (named as NMP) with excellent photo-thermal conversion properties and mechanical stability were obtained by compounding NC/MXS@PDA with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The NMP-50 film has the tensile strength of 223.30 MPa and toughness of 5.99 MJ/m 3 , which are 110.78% and 252.35% higher than NC/PVA films. The introduction of NC/MXS@PDA reduces the wear rate of NMP films by 85.04%, resulting in an obvious increase in photothermal conversion efficiency and a significant improvement in thermal stability as compared to NC/PVA films. The strategy of preparing functionalized composites by MXS layers and NC self-assembly process provides a valuable reference for the preparation of high-strength and recyclable photothermal materials.

Sheets stacking of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene dramatically reduces the ion-accessible sites and brings a sluggish reaction kinetics. While introducing transitional metal oxides or polymers in the MXene films could partially alleviate such issue, their enhanced performances are realized at the expense of electrode conductivity or cycling stability. Herein, we report an alternative spacer of conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) hollow spheres (HSs) which are fabricated by a facile template-assisted interfacial polymerization. The Fe 3+ ions electrostatically adsorbed on the –SO 3 H groups of the sulfonated polystyrene spheres (S-PS) initiate the polymerization of uniform PEDOT shell, yielding uniform PEDOT HSs after dissolving the S-PS core. Introducing these PEDOT HSs in the MXene film generates the highly flexible MXene-PEDOT (MP) films featuring hierarchically porous network and high conductivity (283 S cm −1 ). Consequently, specific capacitance of 218 F g −1 at 3 mV s –1 , along with a forty-folds decrease in relaxation time constant (1.0 vs 39.8 s) has been achieved. Moreover, the MP film also exhibits nearly thickness-independent capacitive performances with film thickness in the range of 10–46 μm. A maximal energy density of 21.2 μWh cm −2 at 1015 μW cm −2 together with 92 % capacitance retention over 5000 cycles are achieved for the MP-based solid-state supercapacitor. The intrinsic high conductivity, excellent mechanical flexibility and good structure integrity are responsible for such outstanding electrochemical behaviors.

A label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing strategy was constructed based on a Cu 2 MoS 4 @Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene heterojunction for the sensitive detection of tetracycline (TC) in milk. The Cu 2 MoS 4 @Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene heterojunction substantially facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, a key element in enhancing the photocurrent response. Cu 2 MoS 4 , renowned for its visible-light absorption and photocatalytic properties, is combined synergistically with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, contributing a large surface area and outstanding electrical conductivity. The heterojunction not only elevates photocatalytic efficiency but also provides abundant π–π stacking sites on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. These sites enable the direct immobilization of the TC aptamer without chemical modification, thereby minimizing marker interference and improving the detection accuracy. Furthermore, the heterojunction structure broadens the light-absorption spectrum and enhances charge-transfer efficiency, resulting in a higher photocurrent response. The proposed PEC aptasensor demonstrates a favorable linear response to TC within the concentration range 5 to 300 nM, with a detection limit of 1.24 nM. These results are comparable to those achieved by high-performance liquid chromatography. This study is expected to pioneer a novel approach for the design of a label-free PEC aptasensor applicable to the bioanalysis of food samples. Graphical abstract
