Problems occurring in oilfields after secondary oil recovery can include low oil content, difficulty in tracing, and high production costs. The use of two-dimensional nanomaterials can improve the efficiency of oil exploration and extraction. In this study, we designed a new nanofluid based on lecithin-modified MXene (lecithin@MXene-COOH) for directional oil extraction and tertiary oil recovery. MXene has good interfacial affinity, and 0.02 % lecithin@MXene-COOH can be effectively enriched at the oil–water interface. The nanofluid based on lecithin@MXene-COOH has excellent emulsifying properties, and we found that the optimal formulation has an emulsifying volume of 12.8 mL. The efficient enrichment of lecithin@MXene-COOH at the oil–water interface means that it can effectively define the position of oil droplets. The lecithin@MXene-COOH nanofluid has excellent oil displacement effect, and can efficiently drive oil, with an improvement of recovery efficiency of up to 15.95 % after the traditional flooding stage. This research has developed a new application of MXene-based nanomaterials, and the lecithin@MXene-COOH nanofluid is predicted to have a successful future in the field of oilfield tracing and extraction.

The effect of etching solution on the synthesis process of two-dimensional vanadium carbide (V2C MXene) was researched. Three etching solutions were used to etch ternary carbide V2AlC at 90 °C. The three solutions were: lithium fluoride + hydrochloric acid (LiF + HCl), sodium fluoride + hydrochloric acid (LiF + HCl), and potassium fluoride + hydrochloric acid (KF + HCl). It was found that only NaF + HCl solution was effective for synthesizing highly pure V2C MXene. The existence of sodium (Na+) and chloridion (Cl−) in etching solution was essential for the synthesis. The thermal stability of the as-prepared V2C MXene in argon or air was studied. From thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis, V2C MXene was found to be stable in argon atmosphere at a temperature of up to 375 °C. As the temperature increased, V2C MXene was gradually oxidized to form nanoparticles composed of vanadium trioxide (V2O3) and a part of V2C MXene was broken and transformed to vanadium carbide (V8C7) at 1000 °C. In air atmosphere, V2C MXene was stable at 150 °C. At 1000 °C, V2C MXene was oxidized to form vanadium pentoxide (V2O5).Keywords:MXene;V2C;synthesis;thermal stability

Sustainable biomass materials are promising for low-cost wearable piezoresistive pressure sensors, but these devices are still produced with time-consuming manufacturing processes and normally display low sensitivity and poor mechanical stability at low-pressure regimes. Here, an aqueous MXene ink obtained by simply ball-milling is developed as a conductive modifier to fabricate the multiresponsive bidirectional bending actuator and compressible MXene-plant fiber sponge (MX-PFS) for durable and wearable pressure sensors. The MX-PFS is fabricated by physically foaming MXene ink and plant fibers. It possesses a lamellar porous structure composed of one-dimensional (1D) MXene-coated plant fibers and two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanosheets, which significantly improves the compression capacity and elasticity. Consequently, the encapsulated piezoresistive sensor (PRS) exhibits large compressible strain (60%), excellent mechanical durability (10 000 cycles), low detection limit (20 Pa), high sensitivity (435.06 kPa–1), and rapid response time (40 ms) for practical wearable applications.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet materials (MXenes) have unparalleled advantages in the field of flame-retardant multifunctional composites, but their dispersibility, flame retardancy and compatibility with the matrix are poor and need to be enhanced. In this research, we employed interfacial decoration and grafting modification to firstly introduce proanthocyanidins (PCs) onto MXenes surface (forming PC-MXenes) to increase the number of available active sites. On this basis, phosphorylated A-POSS was grafted onto PC-MXene (resulting in PAP@P-MXene) via a one-pot method, organic–inorganic hybrid flame-retardant PAP@P-MXene nano-coatings were subsequently constructed on the surface of cotton fabrics via an immersion method, and their structure-property relationships were verified. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results revealed that PAP@P-MXene displayed a high char residue content of 32.0 % at 800 °C, illustrating its pretty good fire-safety properties. Typically, the residual char amount of coated cotton fabric with 12 wt% PAP@P-MXene (C-PAP@P-MXene-3) under a N 2 atmosphere was as high as 37.1 %. Additionally, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) increased to 31 %, while the peak heat release decreased by 79.83 %. C-PAP@P-MXene-3 also displayed a UL-94 V-0 rating and self-extinguishing ability, all of which demonstrated excellent fire safety performance. The unique 2D nanosheet structure of MXenes, along with their innovative structural design and synergistic flame-retardant strategy, endows the nanomaterials with good dispersibility and flame-retardant effects, which has led to the development of new flame-retardant strategies and expanded the potential applications of MXene materials.

The merits of excellent electrical conductivity , good hydrophilicity, and large specific capacitances render MXene film electrodes attractive in supercapacitors (SCs). However, the tortuous ion transfer in restacked nanosheets limits the electrochemical performance of dense film electrodes. To solve the ion transfer issue, we propose a strategy to produce porous films assembled by Ti 3 C 2 nanomesh via the chemical oxidation-etching process. The rich in-plane pores in Ti 3 C 2 nanomesh provide abundant pathways and new active sites for ion transfer/adsorption, greatly improving the electrochemical activity. Specifically, the obtained Ti 3 C 2 nanomesh films exhibit high specific capacitances of 235 F g -1 at 1 A g -1 and 184 F g -1 at 10 A g -1 in 6 M KOH, which are ∼2 times higher than the pristine Ti 3 C 2 films (118 F g -1 at 1 A g -1 and 90 F g -1 at 10 A g -1 ). Furthermore, hybrid capacitors, composed of the Ti 3 C 2 nanomesh films as the negative electrodes and Ni-Co layered double hydroxides as the positive electrodes, in KOH electrolytes, are also demonstrated to show practicability. This work provides an opportunity to develop high-performance energy storage devices with the 2D nanomesh.

Adsorbents with high adsorption efficiency and excellent biosafety for biomedical applications are highly required. MXene is a promising candidate owning these advantages, yet pristine MXene faces dilemmas including insufficient utility of surface site as well as limited processibility. Here, we develop MXene-encapsulated porous microcapsules via microfluidics. The microcapsules have a biomass hydrogel shell that provides robust support for MXene in the core, by which the microcapsules are endowed with high MXene dosage and remarkable biosafety. Additionally, the MXene nanoflakes assemble into a three-dimensional network via metal ion-induced gelation, thereby avoiding restacking and significantly improving surface utilization. Moreover, a freeze-pretreatment of the microcapsules during preparation results in the formation of a macroporous structure in the shell, which can facilitate the diffusion of the target molecules. These features, combined with additional magneto-responsiveness rendered by the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles, contribute to prominent performances of the microcapsules in cleaning uremia toxins including creatinine, urea, and uric acid. Thus, it is anticipated that the MXene-encapsulated microcapsules will be promising adsorbents in dialysis-related applications, and the combination of microfluidic encapsulation with metal ion gelation will provide a novel approach for construction of hybrid MXene materials with desired functions.

Ubiquitous electromagnetic waves have a negative effect on precision instruments and damage human health. Therefore, multifunctional and versatile flexible transparent conductive films, which can solve the challenge of microelectronic device encapsulated and protected in harsh conditions (e.g., extreme temperature) in specific scenarios, are demanded to process electromagnetic shielding and electric heating properties. Herein, AgNWs/MXene@Ni/PET films were fabricated by MXene template-guided electrochemical deposition of nickel nanosphere as flexible transparent conductive films. The films exhibit excellent optoelectrical properties (9.8 Ω/sq @ transparency 80.3%), splendid EMI shielding performances (35.1 dB), outstanding electric heating performance (85°C at 4 V), and rapid heating capability (reaching the saturation temperature with 40 s), which are potential to be widely applied under the complex surrounding as electromagnetic shielding and electric heating. Noticeably, nickel nanosphere are regarded as resistor-capacitor circuit model on the surface of MXene, forming the structure of the capacitor. Furthermore, magnetic nickel nanospheres have synergistic effect with dielectric MXene and AgNWs, defined Dielectric-Magnetic-Dielectric synergistic absorption. In addition, Ni nanosphere generate dielectric dipole interactions with MXene, to enhance the capability of absorbing EMW. Finally, this work has the potential to be conducive to practical and commercial applications as flexible transparent electromagnetic interference and electric heating devices.

In response to growing concerns about the greenhouse effect, the direct conversion of atmospheric CO2has become a pivotal research focus. This research utilizes hydrothermal synthesis to develop Bi2WO6/MXene(Ti3C2Tx), which efficiently reduces CO2directly at the gas–solid interface through photothermal synergy, without requiring additional sacrificial agents or alkaline absorption solutions. The results indicate that the CO formation rate is about 216.9 μmol·g−1h−1. Notably, this system demonstrates exceptional selectivity for reducing CO2to CO. The outstanding photothermal catalytic efficiency is attributed to the introduction of MXene, which serves as an efficient and economical co-catalyst. The integration of MXene improves the composite material’s specific surface area and pore structure, enhances its CO2adsorption capacity, and results in the Bi2WO6/MXene hybrid having a shorter charge transfer distance and a larger interface contact area. This ensures superior charge transfer capabilities, ultimately leading to a significant enhancement in the catalytic efficiency of the composite. This study presents a straightforward and highly selective method for capturing and converting atmospheric CO2, offering fresh insights for developing efficient photothermal catalytic materials.

Smart sensing and excellent actuation abilities of natural organisms have driven scientists to develop bionic soft-bodied robots. However, most conventional robots suffer from poor electrical conductivity, limiting their application in real-time sensing and actuation. Here, we report a novel strategy to enhance the electrical conductivity of hydrogels that integrated actuation and strain-sensing functions for bioinspired self-sensing soft actuators. Conductive hydrogels were synthesized in situ by copolymerizing MXene nanosheets with thermosensitive N -isopropylacrylamide and acrylamide under a direct current electric field. The resulting hydrogels exhibited high electrical conductivity (2.11 mS/cm), good sensitivity with a gauge factor of 4.79 and long-term stability. The developed hydrogels demonstrated remarkable capabilities in detecting human motions at subtle strains such as facial expressions and large strains such as knee bending. Additionally, the hydrogel electrode patch was capable of monitoring physiological signals. Furthermore, the developed hydrogel showed good thermally induced actuation effects when the temperature was higher than 30 °C. Overall, this work provided new insights for the design of sensory materials with integrated self-sensing and actuation capabilities, which would pave the way for the development of high-performance conductive soft materials for intelligent soft robots and automated machinery.

MXene , a new family of 2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides , has been proved to possess excellent electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity. In this work, a single-step method to produce the larger interplanar spacing 2D MXene Ti 3 C 2 by etching Ti 3 AlC 2 with NH 4 HF 2 was demonstrated, and the optimal reaction conditions between Ti 3 AlC 2 and NH 4 HF 2 were systematically researched. The morphology and microstructure of samples were characterized by scanning electron smicroscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal stability of Ti 3 C 2 was investigated by the thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analyzer (DTA). It was found that the lattice parameter c of obtained Ti 3 C 2 was up to 24.9 Å, and the larger interplanar spacing Ti 3 C 2 was more stable than the sample exfoliated by HF. The transition temperature in air from NH 4 HF 2 -etched Ti 3 C 2 to anatase TiO 2 thoroughly is more than 500 ℃, and the multilayered structure of Ti 3 C 2 could be well retained even afer 900 ℃ heat treatment, while the value of HF-etched Ti 3 C 2 is less than 350 ℃. This work is important for exploring a safe synthesis method and well understanding the thermal stability of 2D MXene materials.

The photodegradation technology can improve the status quo of environmental problems seriously which hindered the development and progress of human society. In this work, the two-dimensional transition metal carbide Ti 3 C 2 was prepared by HF etching of Ti 3 AlC 2 , and subsequently TiO 2 crystals were produced by hydrothermal method to prepare TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composite. The Ag nanoparticles were then doped by photoreduction to form a ternary Ag/TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composite. The effect of photocatalytic degradation of the methyl orange solution by Ag/TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 was investigated. The degradation only with Ag/TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 is worser than TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 , so H 2 O 2 was added to improve the catalytic ability and explore the photocatalytic mechanism. In 420 min, the degradation efficiency of methyl orange (MO) solution reached 71.09% due to the active-free radicals preventing the recombination of electron hole pairs to improve the catalytic performance of photocatalytic materials.

Two-dimensional MXene membranes have been successfully used in separation technology. With controllable interlayer nanochannels, abundant surface-terminating groups and hydrophilicity, MXene membranes also exhibit the potential in alcohol dehydration. Here, 2-μm-thick MXene membranes stacked by Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets were fabricated and applied in ethanol dehydration for the first time. Effects of the feed ethanol concentration and operating temperature on the ethanol dehydration performance of the MXene membrane were investigated through a pervaporation process. The water/ethanol separation factor of the MXene membrane increased with increasing feed ethanol concentration. Additionally, the MXene membrane exhibited better ethanol dehydration performance at room temperature compared with that at elevated temperature. It gave a water/ethanol separation factor of 135.2 with a total flux of 263.4 g m −2 h −1 at room temperature for the azeotrope dehydration (95% ethanol mixed with 5% water). MXene membranes are promising in applications of pervaporation dehydration and solvent separation.
