Converting water into hydrogen fuel and oxidizing benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde simultaneously under visible light illumination is of great significance, but the fast recombination of photogenerated carriers in photocatalysts seriously decreases the conversion efficiency. Herein, a novel dual-functional 0D Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S/2D Ti 3 C 2 hybrid was fabricated by a solvothermally in-situ generated assembling method. The Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S nano-spheres with a fluffy surface completely and uniformly covered the ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, leading to the increased Schottky barrier (SB) sites due to a large contact area, which could accelerate the electron-hole separation and improve the light utilization. The optimized Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S/Ti 3 C 2 hybrid simultaneously presents a hydrogen evolution rate of 5.3 mmol/(g·h) and a benzaldehyde production rate of 29.3 mmol/(g·h), which are ∼3.2 and 2 times higher than those of pristine Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S, respectively. Both the multiple experimental measurements and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations further demonstrate the tight connection between Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S and Ti 3 C 2 , formation of Schottky junction, and efficient photogenerated electron—hole separation. This paper suggests a dual-functional composite catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and benzaldehyde production, and provides a new strategy for preventing the photogenerated electrons and holes from recombining by constructing a 0D/2D heterojunction with increased SB sites.

The bioelectronic tongues based on taste receptors have been emerging with human-like taste perception. However, the practical applications of the receptor-based biosensors were restricted by their narrow and low dynamic ranges. Here, a novel immobilization strategy based on [email protected] /Ti 3 C 2 MXene was developed to immobilize the umami ligand binding domain (T1R1-VFT), to fabricate an umami biosensor for umami substances detection. Through the synergic effect of [email protected] and Ti 3 C 2 MXene, the capacity to load T1R1-VFT was effectively increased, and the response signal was also amplified by approximately 3 times. The proposed biosensor showed an ultrawide dynamic range of 10 −11 –10 −3 M, and a high upper limit of detection, which was closer to the human taste threshold and suitable for detecting foods rich in umami substances. Additionally, the biosensor was successfully applied to detect real samples and analyze the synergistic effects of binary umami substances.

High-resolution electrochemical sensors with excellent sensitivity and selectivity are urgently needed for simultaneous monitoring of heavy metal ions (HMIs) in the environment. In this study, a nitrogen-doped carbon-coated Ti 3 C 2 -MXene heterostructure (Ti 3 C 2 @N-C)-based electrochemical sensor was developed for simultaneously determining (Cd 2+ ) and (Pb 2+ ) in seawater and tap water via square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). The sensor exhibits excellent performance with a low limit of detection (LOD) (Cd 2+ 2.55 nM, Pb 2+ 1.10 nM), as well as excellent selectivity in the presence of interfering ions (Zn 2+ , Fe 3+ , Fe 2+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , Cu + , Cu 2+ , and K + ) and high resolution for simultaneous detection of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ . The N-C and Ti 3 C 2 -MXene heterostructure improves the conductivity of the composites by accelerating the electron transfer. The nitrogen-doping in Ti 3 C 2 @N-C provides adsorbent sites for electrons to coordinate with HMIs. Due to the heterostructure and the coordination by nitrogen, the interface charge transfer is enhanced and the number of selective adsorption sites is increased, improving the metals determination performance. This study proposes a new strategy for improving the electrochemical characteristics of Ti 3 C 2 -MXene by using heterostructure and nitrogen-doping effect, and develops a highly sensitive sensor for selective and simultaneous determination of HMIs.

The enhanced effect of metal catalysts is crucial to achieve advanced performance of hydrogen storage system. Rational design of catalysts with superior catalytic activity is significant to regulate the re-/hydrogenation kinetics of MgH 2 . Herein, Ti 3 C 2 -supported praseodymium(III) fluoride (PrF 3 ) nanoparticles (PrF 3 /Ti 3 C 2 ) composite was prepared by hydrothermal method , which exhibited superior catalytic activity toward hydrogen storage of MgH 2 . The onset temperature of dehydrogenation was reduced to 180 °C after adding 5 wt% PrF 3 /Ti 3 C 2 , corresponding to a reduction of 107 °C compared with pristine MgH 2 . About 7.0 wt% hydrogen was rapidly desorbed within 3 min at 260 °C and 6.6 wt% hydrogen was absorbed within 36 s at 200 °C for MgH 2 -5 wt% PrF 3 /Ti 3 C 2 . Moreover, MgH 2 -5 wt% PrF 3 /Ti 3 C 2 exhibited an excellent capacity retention of 92.5% even after 10 cycles. Experimental results reveal that the electron transfer among Ti-species (Ti 0 , Ti 2+ , and Ti 3+ ) occurred due to the striking enhanced effect of PrF 3 on Ti 3 C 2 MXene during the reaction process, and the synergistic action between Ti-species and PrF 3 are responsible for the markedly enhanced hydrogen storage properties of MgH 2 . This study is helpful to the design and optimization of hydrogen storage materials for mobile application.

Dendrite growth and low Coulombic efficiency caused by uneven diffusion and electrodeposition of Zn2+ ions have emerged as a barrier to exploit the Zn metal anode. In this work, we demonstrate the stoichiometric halogenated MXenes (Ti3C2Cl2, Ti3C2Br2, and Ti3C2I2) as an artificial layer that can induce the uniform Zn deposition. The efficient redistribution effect results from the coherent heterogeneous interface reconstruction and regulated ion tiling by halogen surficial termination. The synergetic effects of high lattice matching (90%) between the adopted MXenes and Zn, as well as the positive halogen regulation, Zn2+ ions are guided to nucleate uniformly on the most extensive (000l) crystal plane of the MXene matrix and grow in a planar manner. In terms of Zn ion regulation, Cl termination is found to be more effective than O/F, Br, and I due to its moderate adsorption and diffusion coefficiency for Zn2+ ions. The Ti3C2Cl2–Zn anode achieves a life extension of over 12 times (840 h at 2 mA cm–2//1 mAh cm–2) over that of the bare Zn anode and serves more than 9000 cycles in a battery with a Ti3C2I2 cathode at a high rate of 3 A g–1. Given the abundance of lattice parameters and terminations of MXene materials, the developed strategy is expected to be extended to other metal anode systems.

Quantitative detection of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived food is of great significance. In this work, a simple and label-free electrochemical aptasensor for the highly sensitive detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) in milk was successfully developed based on a new biosensing method, where the single- or few-layer Ti3C2MXene nanosheets functionalized via the specific aptamer by self-assembly were used as electrode modifiers for a glassy carbon electrode (aptamer/Ti3C2MXene/GCE). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and so on were utilized for electrochemical and morphological characterization. Under the optimized conditions, the constructed aptasensor exhibited excellent performance with a wider linearity to CAP in the range from 10 fM to 1 μM and a low detection limit of 1 fM. Aptamer/Ti3C2MXene/GCE demonstrated remarkable selectivity over other potentially interfering antibiotics, as well as exceptional reproducibility and stability. In addition, the aptasensor was successfully applied to determine CAP in milk with acceptable recovery values of 96.13% to 108.15% and relative standard deviations below 9%. Therefore, the proposed electrochemical aptasensor is an excellent alternative for determining CAP in food samples.Keywords:label-free;electrochemical aptasensor;chloramphenicol;Ti3C2MXene nanosheets

Novel sandwich-like ZnIn 2 S 4 /Ti 3 C 2 composites with strong interfacial coupling were prepared by a facile solvothermal approach for U(VI) photocatalytic reduction immobilization. The integration of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets into ZnIn 2 S 4 hierarchical structures endowed the composite outstanding photocatalytic performance through improving the utilization of solar energy and boosting the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, evidenced by a fast reaction rate of 0.0247 min −1 , which was 3.20 times of that for pristine ZnIn 2 S 4 . The corresponding U(VI) removal efficiency of 50 ppm U(VI) solution reached 96.1% under visible light irradiation without sacrificial agents. In addition, the excellent stability and reusability of ZnIn 2 S 4 /Ti 3 C 2 has been demonstrated.

Herein, a novel, recognition-molecule-free electrode based on Ti3C2/TiO2composites was synthesized using Ti3C2as the Ti source and TiO2in situ formed by oxidation on the Ti3C2surface for the selective detection of dopamine (DA). The TiO2in situ formed by oxidation on the Ti3C2surface not only increased the catalytically active surface for DA binding but also accelerated the carrier transfer due to the coupling between TiO2and Ti3C2, resulting in a better photoelectric response than pure TiO2. Through a series of experimental conditions optimization, the photocurrent signals obtained by the MT100 electrode were proportional to the DA concentration from 0.125 to 400 µM, with a detection limit estimated at 0.045 µM. We also monitored DA in human blood serum samples using the MT100 electrode. The results showed good recovery, demonstrating the promising use of the sensor for the analysis of DA in real samples.Keywords:photoelectrochemical;MXene;dopamine sensor

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an intriguing approach for killing tumor cells due to its deeper penetration depth compare to photodynamic therapy. However, the therapeutic efficacy of SDT is usually limited by tumor hypoxia and the sonosensitizers’ inefficient ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we fabricated a novel two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 -based heterojunction nano-sonosensitizer (mTi 3 C 2 –Pt) which deposited with noble metal Pt on its surface and then camouflaged with mature dendritic cell (DC) membrane. The deposited Pt can not only improve the SDT and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) effects of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets due to their enhanced electron capture and oxygen (O 2 ) adsorption ability, but also can break down the endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) into O 2 to moderate tumor hypoxia and relieve the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Moreover, the tumor associated antigens, released as a result of the ROS-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) after mTi 3 C 2 –Pt/R837 treatment, can improve the antitumor immune responses by promoting the DC maturation with the assistance of Toll-like receptor 7 agonist (Imiquimod, R837) and mature DC membrane. The high SDT/CDT and immunotherapy synergistic efficacy of mTi 3 C 2 –Pt/R837 is suggested by both in vivo and in vitro assays. Overall, this research offers an exemplification for developing novel Ti 3 C 2 -based nano-sonosensitizer for cancer therapy.

Hydrogen storage in the solid state is considered a key technology for developing commercial applications of hydrogen energy. With the addition of efficient nanocatalysts, magnesium (Mg) is a promising approach for overcoming the threshold for hydrogen storage materials. Mg–Ni–Ti3C2 composites were created in this study by integrating nanoscale nickel (Ni) and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets with Mg particles using a mechanical ball milling process. Compared with incorporating Ni nanoparticles or Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets alone, the combination of Ni and Ti3C2Tx MXene enhanced the dehydrogenation performance of magnesium hydride (MgH2). The ideal combination of a rapid hydrogen uptake/release rate and high hydrogen storage capability was achieved by properly controlling the proportion of additives. The prepared Mg–2Ni/Ti3C2 composite possessed superior hydrogen storage properties, releasing 3.96 wt % hydrogen at 300 °C, whereas additive-free Mg released almost no hydrogen under the same conditions. Furthermore, Mg–2Ni/Ti3C2 absorbed 3.16 wt % hydrogen even at 275 °C. The Mg–2Ni/Ti3C2 composite exhibited a dehydrogenation activation energy of 75.0 kJ mol–1, which was 60.4 kJ mol–1 less than that of pristine Mg. After 10 cycles, 96.1% of the hydrogen capacity was retained, exhibiting a superior cycling stability. According to the catalytic mechanism study, the surprisingly enhanced hydrogen storage property of MgH2 is attributed to the “hydrogen pump” effect of Mg2Ni/Mg2NiH4 combined with the catalytic, “facilitated hydrogen pump,” and confinement roles of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets.

Infected bone defect repair has long been a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. Apart from bacterial contamination, excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lack of osteogenesis ability also threaten the defect repair process. However, few strategies have been proposed to address these issues simultaneously. Herein, we designed and fabricated a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive, hierarchically porous scaffold to address these limitations in a synergetic manner. In this design, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were used to fabricate the porous PMMA/PEI scaffolds via the anti-solvent vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS) process. Then, Ti3C2 MXenes were anchored on the scaffolds through the dopamine-assisted co-deposition process to obtain the PMMA/PEI/polydopamine (PDA)/MXene scaffolds. Under NIR laser irradiation, the scaffolds were able to kill bacteria through the direct contact-killing and synergetic photothermal effect of Ti3C2 MXenes and PDA. Moreover, MXenes and PDA also endowed the scaffolds with excellent ROS-scavenging capacity and satisfying osteogenesis ability. Our experimental results also confirmed that the PMMA/PEI/PDA/MXene scaffolds significantly promoted new bone formation in an infected mandibular defect model. We believe that our study provides new insights into the treatment of infected bone defects.

The efficiency of the photocatalytic reaction is mainly determined by the effective separation of photogenerated electron (e - ) and hole (h + ). As a high electrical conductivity, two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 MXene is widely used as an electronic transmission intermediary with a large surface area and active terminal. In this work, 1D CuZnInS are loaded on the surface of 2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets to compound 1D/2D CuZnInS/Ti 3 C 2 nanocomposites with effective inhibition of charge-carrier recombination. The H 2 production rate of optimized 1D/2D CuZnInS/Ti 3 C 2 composite reached 15.24 mmol h −1 g −1 , which is 4.5 times than that of pure CuZnInS (3.38 mmol h −1 g −1 ), and the apparent quantum efficiencies (AQEs) of composite photocatalysts can reach 0.39% and 0.24% under light irradiation at 365 nm and 420 nm wavelength, respectively. In addition, 1D/2D CuZnInS/Ti 3 C 2 has high stability after 10 cycles. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the large specific surface area of 2D Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, which facilitates the separation and transfer of photogenerated e - and h + pairs.
