MXenes is considered as one of the most potential sodium ions storage materials due to its superior metallic conductivity, abundant surface functional groups, extensive specific surface area, and tunable interlayer spacing. Nevertheless, its practical application is hindered by severe volumetric expansion/shrinkage and slow sodium ions diffusion during sodium ions insertion/extraction process. Herein, a novel organic acid molecules bridging strategy is reported to stabilize layered structure and adjust the interlayer spacing of Ti 3 CN, which is realized by bridging organic acid molecules (named as TOAA) into Ti 3 CN interlayers (named as Ti 3 CN-TOAA) to form strong amido (HN C=O) bonds. The carbonyl groups of TOAA molecules can not only provide active sites for sodium ions storage, but also inhibit volumetric expansion/shrinkage by providing strain/pillar effects within the Ti 3 CN interlayers, achieving stable and rapid sodium ions storage. Consequently, the interlayer spacing of Ti 3 CN-TOAA (1.42 nm) is enlargered compared with that of Ti 3 CN (1.22 nm), while the sodium ions migration barrier of Ti 3 CN-TOAA is reduced by 0.09 eV Ti 3 CN-TOAA demonstrates superior cycling stability (the capacity retention remains at 83.2% after 2000 cycles at 0.5 A g -1 ) and rate capability (2.5 times the capacity of pristine Ti 3 CN at 5.0 A g -1 ). Significantly, the Ti 3 CN-TOAA||AC sodium ions capacitor (SIC) exhibits excellent cycling stability, retaining 79.3% of its capacity after 8000 cycles at 1.0 A g -1 . This work presents a novel approach to achieving stable and rapid sodium ions storage by stabilizing layered structure and adjusting interlayer spacing.

Photocatalytic water splitting for green H 2 offers a renewable-energy route, yet efficiency is still limited by poor charge separation and slow reaction kinetics. Here, we report a 2D/2D Ti 3 CN/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction with a built-in electric field, synthesized via Lewis acid molten-salt etching and electrostatic self-assembly. The heterojunction promotes directional electron transfer from g-C 3 N 4 to Ti 3 CN, while Ru nanoparticles further enhance charge density and reduce the reaction barrier. The optimized Ru/Ti 3 CN/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst delivers a H 2 evolution rate of 4254 μmol g −1 ·h −1 under visible light, 200 times higher than pristine g-C₃N₄, with excellent cycling stability. Experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that the synergistic effects of the polarized interface and Ru cocatalyst significantly improve charge separation and H 2 adsorption kinetics. This work offering a practical route to couple MXene co-catalysts with polarization-induced built-in electric fields for markedly accelerating solar-driven H 2 production.

Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction to produce value-added products is considered a promising solution to solve the global energy crisis and the greenhouse effect. In this study, Ti 3 CN MXene was synthesized using a Lewis acidic etching method without the usage of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF). Ti 3 CN MXene was then used as a support for the in situ hydrothermal growth of TiO 2 and Ru nanoparticles. In the presence of 0.5 wt% Ru, Ru-Ti 3 CN-TiO 2 shows CO and CH 4 production rates of 99.58 and 8.97 μmol/g, respectively, in 5 h under Xenon lamp irradiation, more than 20.5 and 9.3 times that of commercial P25. The enhancement in photocatalytic activity was attributed to the synergy between the in-situ growth of TiO 2 on Ti 3 CN MXene and Ru nanoparticles. It was proven experimentally that Ti 3 CN MXene can provide abundant pathways for electron transfer. The separation and transfer of the photo-induced charge were further increased with the help of Ru and Ti 3 CN MXene, leaving more electrons to participate in the subsequent CO 2 reduction reaction. We believe that this work will encourage more attention to designing environment-friendly MXene-based photocatalysts for CO 2 photoreduction using the non-HF method.

In this paper, a dual-mode electrochemiluminescence-electrochemical (ECL-EC) sensor was constructed using Ru(bpy) 3 2+ @Ti 3 CN and Zn 4 Sn 3 O 5 via multi-step amplification strategy for the detection of sodium saccharin (SS). The maximum ECL/EC initial signals were obtained by the synergistic action of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ @Ti 3 CN and Zn 4 Sn 3 O 5 in the tri-n-propylamine (TPrA) solution. Given that SS reacted with Ru(bpy) 3 2+ , the ECL/EC signal values both decreased. The relevant mechanism was investigated. Under the best optimization conditions, the ECL detection exhibited a linear range of 5.0 × 10 −15 to 5.0 × 10 −10 mol·L −1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.67 × 10 −15 mol·L −1 (S/N = 3), while EC detection showed a linear range of 5.0 × 10 −9 to 5.0 × 10 −4 mol·L −1 with the LOD of 1.67 × 10 −9 mol·L −1 (S/N = 3). Satisfactory results were obtained in a variety of actual samples.
