In this study, vanadium powder (V) was employed as a cocatalyst to enhance the Fenton-like system. The V-Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 system can rapidly produce hydroxyl radicals and completely oxidize chloramphenicol with exceptionally high stability for long-term operation. The low-valent vanadium sites on the surface during the stepwise oxidation of vanadium from V 0 to V(IV) can donate electrons for direct H 2 O 2 activation and indirect Fenton reaction by reducing Fe(III) to produce hydroxyl radicals. Meanwhile, density functional theory (DFT) calculation unveils that low-valent vanadium sites of vanadium can lengthen Fe-O bonds of FeOH 2+ to elevate the oxidation potential of Fe(III) and promote Fe(III) reduction induced by H 2 O 2 . The self-cleaning effect of vanadium under acidic conditions can maintain reactive sites for sustainable electron donation and long-lasting enhanced Fenton oxidation. This study provides a novel enhanced Fenton oxidation for water remediation and the first mechanistic insights into the origins of V-based advanced oxidation technologies , it may also be beneficial to treat vanadium-contained wastewater.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are a green, low-cost and high-safety energy storage technology. Although MoS 2 is a promising electrode material, low conductivity and poor stability still limit their application in AZIBs. Constructing conductive heterostructures is an effective strategy to overcome these problems. Herein, metallic 1 T-MoS 2 nanosheets are innovatively combined with conductive Ti 3 C 2 MXene, resulting in enlarged 1 T-MoS 2 interlayers (from 9.5 to 9.9 Å) and enhanced hydrophilicity. This novel 1 T-MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene heterostructure exhibits exceptional high-rate capability (284.3 mAh/g at 0.10 A/g with 105.2 mAh/g at 10.00 A/g) and long-term cycling stability (93.2 % capacity retention after 3000 cycles). High capacity comes from the expanded ion storage space caused by the extended layer spacing of the metallic 1 T-MoS 2 . Outstanding rate capability thanks to ultrafast electrons and ions transport from Ti 3 C 2 MXene. Prominent long-term cycling stability is attributed to the efficient synergistic effect of 1 T-MoS 2 and Ti 3 C 2 MXene in the 3D interconnected networks. As a proof of concept, the wearable quasi-solid-state Zn-ion battery employing the 1 T-MoS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene cathode exhibits stable electrochemical performance under different bending conditions. This work explores a new route to design high-performance layered cathode materials for AZIBs.

Palladium is an important metal as it has a wide range of applications in different fields but can cause cancer in human beings. Therefore, precise quantification of palladium is important. For this purpose, new material Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase having unique properties like high stability, thermal conductivity and environmental friendly has been synthesized. To increase its surface area of Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase, graphene oxide (GO) has been incorporated to form Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase GO nanocomposite. Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase GO nanocomposite was used as solid phase extracting material for microextraction and preconcentration of Pd(II) in environmental samples and medical appliances. Characterization of the adsorbent was achieved by using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and surface area analyzer (SAA). All the parameters that influence the extraction efficiency of the adsorbent like solution pH, amount of adsorbent, volume of sample, vortex time, desorption condition and interferences effect were determined and optimized. The limit of detection (0.327 µg/L) and limit of quantification (1.09 µg/L) show that the method is highly sensitive. The relative standard deviation was calculated as 5.48 % for five repeated measurements, which shows that the developed method is reproducible. The method is highly efficient with large values of preconcentration factor (20) and enhancement factors (20). The method was validated by applying the method to real water samples, soil samples and medical appliances with satisfied recovery results (94–106 %).

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.
