Motivated by the advancement of 5G communication technology, electronic devices encounter the challenge of performance fluctuations when exposed to multiband electromagnetic radiation and subjected to temperature variations. Aiming at the problem of limited performance of single-component materials, this paper proposes a design strategy for synergistically enhanced composite films. Through the collaborative action of multiple components and modulation of multidimensional architectures, the performance limitations of functional materials are overcome. Caffeic acid (CA) is employed to modify the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and a three-dimensional interconnected conductive network is assembled with MXene nanosheets. Through the hydrogen-bond interfacial strengthening effect, combined with aramid nanofibers (ANF) as the matrix, CA-MWCNTs/MXene-ANF composite films are prepared. This composite film retains excellent mechanical properties with a tensile strength of 49.5 MPa and an elongation at break of 6.4%, exhibits an electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of 46 dB in the X-band, and possess a rapid electrothermal response capability, achieving a temperature increase from room temperature (25 °C) to 169 °C within 10 s when powered by a low voltage of 3 V. It overcomes the performance limitations resulting from the nonuniform dispersion of conventional fillers and poor interfacial adhesion. These advantages endow it with significant potential in diverse fields such as smart wearables, aerospace engineering, flexible electronics, and medical applications.

The real-time and accurate detection of ammonia is critical for food freshness testing, agricultural monitoring, and respiratory health diagnostics. Recently, flexible gas sensors have garnered attention owing to their potential for integration into smart wearable electronics and display devices. However, the development of high-performance, low-power, and stable devices remains challenging. In this study, a chemoresistive sensor based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/MXene composites is designed, wherein the application of a genetic algorithm-optimized back propagation neural network to compensate for humidity leads to a significantly enhanced detection accuracy. Notably, the use of a genetic algorithm-optimized back propagation neural network reduces the detection error from 8.06 % to 1.3 % in the presence of 50 ppm NH 3 . A wireless Bluetooth monitoring system is integrated to enable real-time data transmission and remote monitoring. This sensor detects ammonia within the range of 0.6–1000 ppm, demonstrating an excellent stability, selectivity, and flexibility, thereby confirming the synergistic effects between PEDOT:PSS and MXene. Importantly, in application tests, the developed system reliably assesses meat spoilage and farm ventilation levels, indicating its high applicability and reliability. Successful human breath tests also open new possibilities for the application of this sensor in respiratory health monitoring. Ultimately, this study offers a convenient and efficient approach for food quality assurance, disease diagnosis, and environmental monitoring.

The integration of microscopic material designs and macroscopic structural layouts offers unlimited potential for developing advanced electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers. Herein, a pyrolysis-based strategy is reported for the hybridization of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets to achieve relaxation processes and high-density magnetic coupling at the nanoscale. The stratified structure of Ti 3 C 2 T x /Fe-MOF considerably amplifies the active contact region with electromagnetic radiation, thereby inducing numerous reflection/scattering phenomena. Through pyrolytic transformation, derived nanoparticles including Fe, C, Fe 3 O 4 , and TiO 2 establish continuous metal–carbon and carbon-oxide interfaces below 50 nm. Consequently, the heterogeneous interfaces formed between these components establish a harmonious electromagnetic coupling network, where interfacial polarization from numerous heterojunctions promotes charge accumulation and relaxation processes, converting electromagnetic energy into thermal energy. Remarkably, findings indicate that this composite material demonstrates a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −47.05 dB when the thickness reaches 1.8 mm. Additionally, this investigation broadens the spectrum of design strategies for premium microwave absorption materials through systematic interface engineering and thermally-controlled phase conversion.

Nanothermite has gained significant attention for its exceptional energy release rate and reactivity, making it a promising material for energetic applications. However, nanoparticle agglomeration significantly hinders its energy release efficiency. To overcome this challenge, we developed an innovative bottom-up strategy and a straightforward preparation method to construct a hierarchical Al/CuO/V 2 C nanocomposite. This is achieved through the ordered self-assembly of Al and CuO nanoparticles in an ethanol suspension, using V 2 C MXene as a template. Our findings show that the Al/CuO/V 2 C nanocomposite exhibits distinct morphologies based on V 2 C concentration: nanosheets at lower concentrations and microspheres at higher concentrations. CuO and Al nanoparticles form the first and second layers outside the V 2 C, respectively, due to the interplay between electrostatic forces and covalent Cu-O-V bonds. This unique structure, along with high reactivity of V 2 C, enables complete Al oxidation, achieving a heat release of 3156.2 J g -1 with a 10 wt% V 2 C addition—seven times greater than the Al/CuO control group. The concentration-dependent structure allows for tunable energetic performance, from a rapid 3-ms deflagration to a prolonged 16-ms combustion. Reduced gas release enhances safety, paving the way for applications in microinitiators and advancing nanothermite technology.

Solar interfacial evaporation technology, as an emerging sustainable water purification strategy, provides both an economical and environmentally friendly way to solve water resource problems. However, it still faces certain limitations and challenges in treating polluted wastewater containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this paper, MXene-TiO 2 -Ag composites were embedded into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel system using kapok fibres as biomass templates, and a bifunctional and environmentally friendly solar evaporation system (MTAH) was successfully constructed for both efficient solar freshwater production and phenol removal (typical VOC). The MTAH evaporator demonstrated excellent evaporation performance with an evaporation rate as high as 3.09 kg m −2 h −1 and a photothermal conversion efficiency as high as 93.16 % under 1 solar light intensity. The self-growth property of TiO 2 on the MXene surface endowed the evaporator with the ability of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. In addition, the incorporation of trace Ag nanoparticles played positive roles, which not only significantly enhanced the photothermal conversion performance of MXene, but also broadened the light response range of TiO 2 and effectively suppressed the complexation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The MTAH evaporator shows an excellent removal rate of 91.84 % for high VOC concentrations (100 ppm phenol), effectively avoiding secondary contamination of the condensate. The finding paved the course for the sustainable and eco-friendly solution for freshwater scarcity.

Inspired by the ultralight and structurally robust spider webs, flexible nanofibril-assembled aerogels with intriguing attributes have been designed for achieving promising performances in various applications. Here, conductive polyimide nanofiber (PINF)/MXene composite aerogel with typical “layer-strut” bracing hierarchical nanofibrous cellular structure has been developed via the freeze-drying and thermal imidization process. Benefiting from the porous architecture and robust bonding between PINF and MXene, the PINF/MXene composite aerogel exhibits an ultralow density (9.98 mg cm −3 ), intriguing temperature tolerance from -50 to 250 °C, superior compressibility and recoverability (up to 90% strain), and excellent fatigue resistance over 1000 cycles. The composite aerogel can be used as a piezoresistive sensor, with an outstanding sensing capacity up to 90% strain (corresponding 85.21 kPa), ultralow detection limit of 0.5% strain (corresponding 0.01 kPa), robust fatigue resistance over 1000 cycles, excellent piezoresistive stability and reproductivity in extremely harsh environments. Furthermore, the composite aerogel also exhibits superior oil/water separation properties such as high adsorption capacity (55.85 to 135.29 g g −1 ) and stable recyclability due to its hydrophobicity and robust hierarchical porous structure. It is expected that the designed PINF/MXene composite aerogel can supply a new multifunctional platform for human bodily motion/physical signals detection and high-efficient oil/water separation.

The rapid development of thermoelectric-piezoresistive dual-mode sensors has opened new avenues for enhancing the functionality, miniaturization, and integration of flexible tactile sensors. However, existing research primarily focuses on decoupling temperature and pressure responses, which leaves a significant gap in optimizing sensor performance and exploring multifunctional applications. To address this limitation, a composite aerogel with a layered porous structure is developed, integrating carbon nanotubes and MXene as conductive materials and reinforced with cellulose nanofibers. The innovative design, characterized by ultra-low thermal conductivity along with superior electrical and thermoelectric properties, allows the resulting sensor to monitor temperature and pressure stimuli without interference through thermoelectric and piezoresistive mechanisms. Demonstrated results reveal exceptional sensing capabilities, including a minimum detectable temperature variation of 0.03 K and a pressure detection limit of 0.3 Pa. The sensor exhibits high sensitivities of 33.5 µV K −1 and −45.2% kPa −1 , along with stability across both temperature and pressure stimuli. Furthermore, the unique multi-modal sensing mechanism supports various applications, such as thermoelectric energy harvesting, material recognition, complex information transmission, smart wearable devices, electronic skin, and human-computer interaction interfaces. This research presents a robust solution for designing high-performance dual-modal tactile sensors and significantly advances their practical applications across multiple domains.

Intra-articular drug injection is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). However, the rapid clearance of drugs from the joint cavity results in low drug utilization and suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. This study describes MXene-based cartilage-adhesive microspheres for photothermal-controlled hydrophobic drug release and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) delivery. Nano cationic amylose (NCA) was obtained by modifying amylose with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTAC), and hydrophobic drug Kartogenin (KGN) was encapsulated in the hydrophobic helical cavity of NCA through ultrasonic treatment, resulting in nano cationic amylose@KGN complexes (NCA@KGN). HAMA/MXene-NCA@KGN (H/M-NCA@KGN) microspheres were prepared using a microfluidic device. These microspheres exhibited excellent biocompatibility, effectively adhered to the cartilage surface, and carried BMSCs. H/M-NCA@KGN microspheres demonstrated photothermal-controlled release of the hydrophobic drug KGN. Notably, KGN promoted the differentiation of BMSCs into chondrocytes, thereby improving the loss of extracellular matrix in joint cartilage. Additionally, appropriate thermal stimulation induced the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in OA chondrocytes, providing a protective effect and delaying the progression of OA. H/M-NCA@KGN microspheres enable controlled hydrophobic drug release and stem cell delivery for potential OA treatment applications.

NiIn intermetallic compounds are constructed over V 2 CT x MXene for the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) to cinnamyl alcohol (COL). Ni 4 In/V 2 CT x demonstrated a conversion rate of 93.6% for CAL, with a high selectivity of 77.4% for COL. The COL yield of Ni 4 In/V 2 CT x is much greater than that of Ni 4 In, Ni/V 2 CT x , and Ni 4 In/Al 2 O 3 . Moreover, the V 2 CT x support is the key to the formation of NiIn intermetallic compounds, which effectively inhibit the oxidation of metallic Ni. NiIn metal particles are uniformly distributed on the surface of V 2 CT x , increasing the metal‒support interaction. Electron-deficient metallic Ni and In inhibit the hydrogenation of the C=C bond. Furthermore, the introduction of In provides more abundant and stronger Lewis acid sites, facilitating the adsorption of C=O bonds and thereby enhancing the selectivity for COL.

Homocysteine (Hcy) is a key biomarker for various diseases, and its precise detection is essential for early clinical diagnosis. Herein, an innovative ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was constructed to overcome the limitations in sensitivity, selectivity, and stability in conventional Hcy detection methods. Firstly, we synthesized a novel 3D MXene/rGO aerogel loaded AuNPs composite (Au/MGA-40) with outstanding specific surface area and remarkable electrical conductivity. Next, the Hcy aptamer was self-assembled to the Au/MGA-40/MB modified electrode surface by gold sulfur bonds (Au-S). Finally, a ratiometric detection mode was established based on the linear relationship between the oxidation peak current ratios (I Hcy /I MB ) and the Hcy concentrations. The aptasensor exhibited excellent analytical behavior for Hcy, with a ultrawide detection range from 2.14 nM to 200 μM and a detection limit as low as 0.835 nM. It also displayed remarkable selectivity due to the specific recognition between Hcy and the aptamer, enabling discrimination of Hcy from structurally similar molecules such as cysteine (Cys), glutathione (GSH) and methionine (Met). The ratio signal mode demonstrated superior long-term stability performance compared to conventional single signal sensors. As evidenced by the successful detection of Hcy in human serum, which underscores its potential for early screening of Hcy-related diseases.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful analytical tool for trace molecular detection, enabling identification of target analytes through their characteristic vibrational fingerprints. Its high sensitivity, selectivity, and non-destructive detection capabilities make it extremely valuable in fields such as biological detection, food safety, and environmental detection. Currently, metal carbonitride (MXene) as an emerging two-dimensional material has become a hot topic in the field of SERS. In this work, by combining the advantages of bimetallic nanoparticles and MXene nanosheets, Ni/Ag nanoparticles with different proportions were modified on monolayer MXene nanosheets through chemical reduction and transmetallation reactions for the rapid detection of thiram. The evaluation of the SERS performance of the MXene–Ni/Ag composite substrate for the Raman reporter molecule mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) demonstrates a high SERS performance factor (SPF) of 8.2 × 106, and a low detection limit of 10−10 M. Also, for the detection of the pesticide thiram, the substrate exhibits high sensitivity and reliable quantitative analysis capabilities, retaining detectable spectral features even at concentrations down to 10−9 M. Meanwhile, the substrate also exhibits a low relative standard deviation (RSD) value in reproducibility and maintains good stability over a certain period. Ni/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles provide high SERS activity, while MXene nanosheets effectively concentrate target molecules through their strong adsorption capacity. These results indicate that MXene–Ni/Ag composite substrates can serve as a highly effective SERS platform for sensitive and reliable environmental monitoring.
