Deep ultraviolet photodetectors (deep-UV PDs) are promising for multiple applications due to their high detecting accuracy and sensitivity in the absence of background sunlight disturbance. By alloying, the bandgap of ZnO can be extended for deep-UV optoelectronics . However, it is limited by the solubility and the crystal quality degradation for a high-component alloy, which hinders the practical applications. In this work, we simply use the 2D Ti 3 C 2 nanoflakes to anchor on ZnO surface to enhance the deep-UV band absorption. Moreover, van der Waals heterojunctions formed at the dispersed Ti 3 C 2 /ZnO interfaces create surface depletion and passivation, which suppresses the dark current and enhances the photocurrent simultaneously. As a result, the Ti 3 C 2 nanoflakes anchored ZnO PD shows enhanced photoresponse in the entire UV region. Particularly, in the deep-UV range this enhancement is much more significant, with a peak light to dark ratio, EQE , responsivity and detectivity of 1.64 × 10 4 , 128.3 mA/W, 66.3% and 5.7 × 10 11 Jones respectively achieved at 240 nm light illumination, which is enhanced by 284, 72, 74 and 55 times respectively compared to the pristine ZnO PD. This work provides a newly non-alloyed strategy to broaden ZnO-based deep-UV, high-performance photodetection applications.

Owing to their enhanced catalytic stability and cyclability, two-dimensional (2D) material-supported Pd-based bimetallic alloys have promising applications for catalytic reactions. Furthermore, the alloying strategy can effectively reduce costs and improve catalytic performance. In this paper, we report a one-step reduction method to synthesize a novel heterogeneous catalyst, PdCu@Ti3C2, with good catalytic performance. The composition and structure of the as-prepared catalyst were characterized by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalyst particles, which were identified as a PdCu bimetallic alloy, exhibited good dispersion on the substrate. The performance of the catalyst in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction was studied, and the results showed that PdCu@Ti3C2 had excellent catalytic activity, similar to that of homogeneous Pd catalysts such as Pd(PPh3)4. Moreover, the prepared catalyst could be reused at least 10 times in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction with high yield.

Streptomycin (STR) residue excess in animal-derived foods can cause severe side-effects, such as ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Herein, a novel electrochemical aptasensor based on Ti 3 C 2 and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) nanomaterials was developed for the rapid detection of STR in milk samples. The nanocomposites were synthesized using an impregnation method, and their morphology and structure were characterized via several characterization methods. The nanocomposites exhibited excellent electrochemical properties. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor offered a wide STR detection range from 0.01 to 200 nM with a lower limit of detection of 0.0033 nM. Furthermore, the aptasensor demonstrated remarkable reproducibility, stability, and selectivity and was successfully applied for the STR detection in milk samples with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 94.0% to 105.0%. The proposed method can be considered a new and effective method for the rapid detection of STR. Moreover, it provides a new sensing platform for the detection of other toxins.

Titanium dioxide is a mainstream photocatalyst, but it still confronts great obstacles of poor visible light absorption and rapid recombination rate of photogenerated carriers. Herein, we describe the design of a highly active visible-light photocatalytic system of graphited carbon layers anchored V2O5/TiO2heterojunctions derived from Ti3C2MXene, which demonstrates about 4.58 and 2.79 times higher degradation activity of MB under visible light (λ > 420 nm) than pure V2O5and TiO2-carbon. Combined with the characterization results, the formed V2O5/TiO2heterojunction promotes the separation of photogenerated carriers, while the graphitized carbon derived from MXene acts as an electronic reservoir to enhance the absorption of visible light. The ESR results show that superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals are the main active species in the reaction system. Therefore, we propose a possible mechanism model to provide a feasible idea for the subsequent design of high-efficiency photocatalysts for environmental treatment.Keywords:MXene;heterojunction;degradation;visible light;photocatalysis

Na 2 MnPO 4 F and Ti 3 C 2 ‑carbon quantum dots (CQDs) nanocomposites were prepared by wet mixing method combined with spray drying method, and the two materials were further compounded by heat treatment to get different ratios of Na 2 MnPO 4 F/Ti 3 C 2 -CQDs cathode material (NTC), the effects of Ti 3 C 2 -CQDs on the structure and electrochemical performance of the composite of Na 2 MnPO 4 F as a lithium-ion battery cathode material were investigated. The results showed that Na 2 MnPO 4 F was uniformly attached to the surface and between layers of Ti 3 C 2 -CQDs. The initial specific discharge capacity of NTC-2 at 0.1C was 67.8 mAh·g −1 , and the reversible capacity after 100 cycles was 60.7 mAh·g −1 , the capacity retention rate was as high as 90%, which all showed that Ti 3 C 2 -CQDs can enhance the cycle performance, rate performance and capacity retention rate of Na 2 MnPO 4 F. It also showed good rate performance under high current density . After the high current test, the current returned to 0.1C, and the capacity can be restored to the original value, which showed that the material has good structural stability. Therefore, Ti 3 C 2 -CQDs doped Na 2 MnPO 4 F is an important way to improve the electrochemical performance of polyanionic compounds.

The development of novel and efficient heterojunction photocatalysts is still a challenging issue for achieving highly efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Herein, we report the construction of Ti 3 C 2 MXene@TiO 2 /CuInS 2 (M@T/CIS) integrated Schottky/step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction by two-step hydrothermal process for boosting photocatalytic hydrogen generation activity. The as-prepared M@T/CIS hybrid photocatalysts exhibit the synergistic effects for enhanced visible-light harvesting, improved charge transfer and increased active site for photocatalytic H 2 evolution. They deliver a H 2 evolution rate of 356.27 μmol g -1 h −1 , which is ∼ 69 and 636 times higher than those of M@T and CIS, respectively, representing their potential applications towards photocatalytic H 2 evolution.

MXenes have a broad application in electrochemical energy storage. However, the smooth surface of high-density MXenes makes it difficult to stabilize the anchored active material. In this study, ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 MXenes were doped with a high density of NiMoS 4 nanoparticles with the assistance of dopamine (DA). DA was adsorbed by the Ti 3 C 2 surface (Ti 3 C 2 -DA) to form a negatively charged layer, which was beneficial for the enrichment of metal ions. NiMoS 4 was anchored to Ti 3 C 2 -DA via a hydrothermal reaction . The resultant Ti 3 C 2 -DA-NiMoS 4 heterostructure increased the exposure of NiMoS 4 active sites, and reduced the decrease in specific capacitance caused by volume changes. Consequently, Ti 3 C 2 -DA-NiMoS 4 exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with a high specific capacitance of 1288 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 . In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor based on a Ti 3 C 2 -DA-NiMoS 4 positive electrode achieved a high energy density of 40.5 Wh kg −1 at 810 W kg −1 , and demonstrated excellent cycling stability (capacitance retention of 89% after 9000 cycles at 10 A g −1 ). These results demonstrate that the Ti 3 C 2 -DA-NiMoS 4 heterostructure is a prospective candidate material for high-performance supercapacitors.

Mimicking the natural photosynthesis process to convert carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals is vital to solving both the climate crisis worldwide and the depletion of fossil fuels. Herein, we explore the synthesis of 2D FAPbBr 3 nanoplate combined with 2D Ti 3 C 2 nanosheet to form a 2D/2D FAPbBr 3 /Ti 3 C 2 Schottky heterojunction using facile hot-injection and in-situ growth approaches. The Schottky heterojunction of FAPbBr 3 /Ti 3 C 2 over large interfacial contact provides abundant channels for transferring photogenerated carriers from FAPbBr 3 nanoplate to Ti 3 C 2 nanosheet. The experimental results showed a CO yield of 93.82 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 with ethyl acetate/deionization water as a sacrificial reagent for FAPbBr 3 /Ti 3 C 2 composite, which was 1.25-fold enhancement that on pristine FAPbBr 3 nanoplates. The large 2D heterointerface can efficiently accelerate the spatial separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers and result in the superior photocatalytic activity and favorable stability of FAPbBr 3 /Ti 3 C 2 photocatalysts, which are proved by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, transient absorption spectra, and Mott-Schottky measurement. Thus, this work unveils that 2D/2D Schottky heterostructures would significantly improve the reaction activities of halide perovskite-based photocatalysts.

Solar-powered atmospheric water harvest (SAWH) with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represents one of the most sustainable, energy-efficient, and low-cost ways to alleviate water shortage stress in arid regions. However, the daily water productivity of previously developed SAWH devices remains low as they are merely allowed to be operated in batch mode and complete one water harvest cycle every day. This inevitably makes it rather challenging to deploy MOF-based SAWH for water production at scales. To overcome this challenge, MXene Ti3C2-incorporated UiO-66-NH2 (TUN) cylindrical monoliths (13 mm diameter, 4 mm thickness) with vertically aligned porous networks have been prepared and exhibited greatly enhanced solar heating capacity and atmospheric water adsorption/desorption kinetics. Using TUN monoliths as atmospheric water adsorbents, a novel SAWH device containing a flippable adsorbent stage with dual TUN monolith layers attached on both sides has been fabricated. Such a novel design enables the prototype to produce water in a continuous mode under sunlight irradiation, delivering 57.8 mLH2O kgMOF–1 h–1 of water productivity in a simulated indoor arid environment (20% relative humidity, 298 K). This is the first exploration in continuous water production with MOF-based SAWH, demonstrating a promising way to achieve scalable and low-cost SAWH in arid areas.

Stemming from its unique structure and properties, Ti 3 C 2 -MXenes have stood out from the crowd of electrode materials due to effectively ameliorating imperfections of common ones for excellent energy storage. However, a major stumbling block in the further development of MXene-based supercapacitors is the inherent low capacities caused by severe restacking of nanosheets. Herein, we develop a simple, effective and innovative strategy, namely, introducing both polymerized polypyrrole (PPy) particles and ionic liquid (ILs)-based microemulsion particles as “dual spacers”, to fabricate functionalized Ti 3 C 2 -MXene composite films for high-performance and wide-temperature application in supercapacitors. The PPy particles acting as one “spacer” circumvent restacking issues of MXene nanosheets, while contribute to desirable capacitance of the hybrid material. ILs-based microemulsions spontaneously adsorbing onto PPy-Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets are conceived to be one more liquid “spacer” for fast ion diffusion kinetics and absent electrolyte imbibition steps, which is rarely reported in previous research for MXene-based electrode materials. These features endow the composite films with excellent specific capacitance, rate capability and cycling stability between 4 °C and 50 °C. At room temperature, the symmetric supercapacitor device based on the composite films delivers a maximum gravimetric energy density of 31.2 Wh kg −1 (at 1030.4 W kg −1 ) and reserves 91% of the initial specific capacitance with a coulombic efficiency of 91% after 2000 cycles. All these impressive results substantiate that the composite films prepared by ingenious structure design showcase huge potentials in advanced MXene-based supercapacitors using various ionic liquid electrolytes.

The chemical conversion of the surface termination of 2D transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) has opened up a design space that previously had not been extensively explored for this functional material . Herein, via a simple sealed thermal method, the amino terminated groups were successfully introduced on Ti 3 C 2 MXene surface. The substitution reaction of amino group to hydroxyl group was proposed to elucidate this aminated process. As the amination would reduce the carrier density on the surface of MXene, the electrical conductivity of MXene-NH 2 film decreased, while it still reached a high conductivity of 2.11 × 10 4 S m −1 . This film also possessed an excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of 16160 dB cm 2 g −1 . Importantly, although the introduction of amino termination altered Zeta potential value, Zeta potential sign remained negative and the MXene-NH 2 exhibited excellent dispersity in water similar to that of traditional MXenes. Furthermore, the existence of covalent bonds endowed MXene-NH 2 polymer composite film with improved mechanical properties . Compared with that of traditional CMC/MXene film, the tensile strength and fracture energy of CMC/MXene-NH 2 increased by 65.5% and 132.7%, respectively. These results demonstrated that the introduction of amino terminated group on MXene surface would be an effective strategy to obtain higher performance MXene-based films.

MXene is a class of 2D materials exfoliated from ternary carbide and nitride ceramics. During synthesis, etching and delamination conditions affect the quality, overall crystallinity, defects and surface functionalization of MXene flakes. In this article, the morphological structure of MXene (Ti 3 C 2 ) nanosheets under temperature between 20 °C and 60 °C were investigated with the application of Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) combined with several complementary techniques, such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The SANS analysis enabled structural information to be obtained about the Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, which consists of layers of transition metal carbides in a multilayer lamella morphology. The results showed that a single Ti 3 C 2 layer is approximately 11.4 – 11.8 Å (1.14 – 1.18 nm) in thickness with a 20.3 – 21.5 Å (2.03 – 2.15 nm) interstacking layer gaps. This results in a total thickness of approximately 32 Å (3.2 nm), which was consistent with the model-dependent lamella model analysis. Furthermore, the thickness of the Ti 3 C 2 layer increased by approximately ~2 Å (0.2 nm) when the temperature increased from 20 - 40 to 50 - 60 °C.
