Ti 3 C 2 T x can be released into the groundwater environment due to its widespread application. It poses a severe environmental risk due to its cytotoxicity but has received little attention. In the groundwater, the dynamic groundwater flow and solution chemistry will affect the transport behavior of Ti 3 C 2 T x which is still unclear and necessary for the assessment of its environmental impact. Thus, this study investigated the influential mechanisms of groundwater flow and solution chemistry on the transport of Ti 3 C 2 T x by considering its 2D shape and degradation characteristics via column experiments with numerical models. The results showed that the transport of Ti 3 C 2 T x in the quartz sand column significantly increased with the decrease of ionic strength (IS) and increase of pH and sodium humate. Face-on oriented Ti 3 C 2 T x particles were reversibly attracted in the secondary minimum, whereas edge-on orientation favored the irreversible attachment in the primary minimum that was facilitated by the nanoscale charge heterogeneity. The retention of Ti 3 C 2 T x significantly increased during the FI period due to the enhanced residence time, facilitating edge-on attachment by diffusion and diffusion into stagnation zones. This study demonstrated the controlling roles of the shape and degradation characteristics of Ti 3 C 2 T x on its mobility, suggesting that such unique properties should be considered in assessing the environmental fate of emerging nanoparticles.

MXenes are promising materials for energy storage due to their high electrical conductivity and unique layered structure. This study demonstrates the dual role of 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMImBF4) as both an etching agent and an intercalation medium for synthesizing Ti3C2Tx MXene with enhanced electrochemical performance. In-situ Raman and XRD analyses show that BMIm+ ions intercalate between MXene layers, stabilizing the nanoscale (002) interlayer spacing, preventing restacking and improving ion transport. When tested in the H2SO4–BMImBF4 hybrid electrolyte, the Ti3C2Tx MXene delivers a capacitance of 228.7 F g–1 at a scan rate of 1 mV s–1, compared to 179.9 F g–1 in pure H2SO4, measured on the same batch of materials. This demonstrates that incorporating BMImBF4 into H2SO4 significantly enhances the charge storage capability of Ti3C2Tx MXene. These findings highlight the effectiveness of BMImBF4 in optimizing charge storage and reinforce the potential of ionic liquids for advanced MXene-based energy storage systems.

MXene film electrodes for supercapacitors, assembled with MXene nanosheets as structure units, inevitably suffer from self-restacking, which severely restrains ion transport kinetics and results in insufficient active site utilization and poor rate capability. Herein, an in situ foaming strategy employing the accumulated gas generated during the etching of sacrificial templates, combined with the confinement between the MXene film, has been proposed to fabricate pores between stacked MXene sheets and along the vertical direction of the film. The surface chemistry of the foamed film was further modified by alkali washing treatment to replace hydrophobic –F groups with hydrophilic –OH groups to improve electrolyte penetration and introduce more active sites. The resultant porous MXene film electrode exhibits a greatly improved specific capacitance (354.1 F g−1 at 5 mV s−1) and unparalleled rate capability (with a capacitance retention of 96.1% at 2000 mV s−1). This work demonstrates a facile but efficient method for the construction of porous MXene films, simultaneously providing insights into the promising applications of MXenes.

Sweat pH is a critical indicator for evaluating human health. With the extensive attention on the wearable and flexible biosensing devices, the technology for the monitoring of human sweat can be realized. In this study, a sensitive, miniaturized, and flexible electrochemical sweat pH sensor was developed for the continuous and real-time monitoring of the hydrogen-ion concentration in human sweat. A flexible electrode was fabricated on the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate by a simple and low-cost screen-printing technology, which was based on the integration of fluoroalkyl silane-functionalized Ti3C2Tx (F–Ti3C2Tx) and the polyaniline (PANI) membrane technology instead of the traditional ion-sensitive membrane. The surface functionalization strategy for Ti3C2Tx with perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane can provide environmental stability. Functionalized Ti3C2Tx (F–Ti3C2Tx) was doped with PANI to obtain improved responsiveness, sensitivity, and reversibility. The constructed microsize, portable, and wearable F–Ti3C2Tx/PANI pH sensor aimed to real-time monitor the pH value of human sweat during exercise. On-body sweat pH monitoring for females and males, respectively, exhibited high accuracy and continuous stability compared with ex situ analyses. This study thus offers a facile and practical solution for developing a highly reliable MXene-based mini-type pH sensor to realize the online monitoring of human sweat pH.

Hydrogel-based wearable sensors have gained great interest on account of their huge application in human-machine interfaces, electronic skin, and healthcare monitoring. However, there are still challenges in designing hydrogel-based sensors with high stability in a wide temperature range, superior adhesion, and excellent sensitivity. Herein, sensors based on oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)/polyacrylamide (PAm)/polydopamine-Ti 3 C 2 T X (PMXene) /glycerol/water (Gly/H 2 O) organohydrogels were designed. The organohydrogels exhibited excellent mechanical properties (elongation at break of 1037%, tensile strength of 0.17 MPa), predominant self-healing ability (self-healing efficiency of 91%), as well as high sensing stability in a wide temperature range (from −20 to 60 °C). The introduction of PDA (polydopamine) and viscous glycerin (Gly) provide organohydrogels with superior adhesion. Organohydrogels sensors demonstrated high sensitivity (Gauge Factor, GF = 2.2) due to the combination of ionic and electron conduction. Sensors could stably detect human movement under different strain levels at high and low temperatures, providing a new solution for wearable sensors in extreme conditions.

Developing advanced noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is still a great challenge. Herein, a novel HER catalyst with quasi zero-dimensional (0D) MoS 2 quantum dots (QDs) supported on two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets is facilely synthesized. The MoS 2 QDs/Ti 3 C 2 T x nanohybrid retains the unique layer structure, and the MoS 2 QDs are in situ formed and distributed uniformly. The obtained MoS 2 QDs/Ti 3 C 2 T x catalyst exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity due to its excellent conductivity, abundant of active sites exposed and a high percentage of 1T metallic phase (∼76%) of MoS 2 QDs. Remarkably, an early HER overpotential of 220 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a small Tafel slope of 72 mV dec −1 of MoS 2 QDs/Ti 3 C 2 T x are achieved in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution. In addition, the exchange current density of MoS 2 QDs/Ti 3 C 2 T x is ∼5 times larger compared with pure MoS 2 , thus demonstrating an accelerated charge transfer during the electrocatalytic process.

The delamination of 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene endows the injection of various ions and small organic molecules into its layers, thus leading to a tunable distance between layers and adjustable electrochemical properties. A suitable selection of intercalators needs to be considered according to the relevant metal-ion-based energy storage device because of the different radii of metal ions such as Li + , Na + , Mg 2+ Zn 2+ , etc. Herein, the intercalation of N , N -dimethylacetamide (DMAC), acetonitrile (ACN), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), LiCl (H 2 O) into Ti 3 C 2 T x cathodes and their electrochemical performance comparisons by fabricating Zn-ion microsupercapacitors (MSCs) is reported. Studies found that an increased calculated interlayer space of 3.42, 7.47, 7.79, 8.3 Å is obtained for the H 2 O, DMSO, ACN, DMAC intercalated Ti 3 C 2 T x cathodes, and a decreased calculated binding energy of −0.03, −0.78, −1.91, and −3.06 eV is obtained for the Ti 3 C 2 T x -H 2 O, Ti 3 C 2 T x -DMSO, Ti 3 C 2 T x -ACN, and Ti 3 C 2 T x -DMAC, respectively. The highest interlayer space, lowest binding energy, and amide groups make the DMAC intercalated Ti 3 C 2 T x - based MSC exhibit volumetric capacitance of 1873 F cm −3 at a scan rate of 5 mV s −1 , much higher than 1103 F cm −3 for Ti 3 C 2 T x -H 2 O, 1313 F cm −3 for Ti 3 C 2 T x -ACN, 544 F cm −3 for Ti 3 C 2 T x -DMSO. The superior flexibility that results in invariable capacitance under 5000 bending cycles, together with the lighting test of the fabricated MSC, demonstrates its application in the wearable integrated system.

MXene has gradually become hot photocatalyst in recent years due to its unique properties. This work successfully synthesized rare Ag-doped partial etched Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 composite nanosheets via a reduction process. The obtained ternary Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 @Ag can be deemed a promising photocatalyst in photodegradation fields. Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 @Ag-50 exhibited excellent catalytic degradation performance towards methylene blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene orange (MO), with the obtained degradation efficiency of 99.7%, 98.9% and 99.3%, respectively. Furthermore, there is a synergistic effect between Ag nanoparticles and partial etched Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ti 3 AlC 2 nanosheets, as demonstrated by the transfer of photogenerated carriers and the generation of reactive oxygen species, which can improve the catalytic degradation performance of the three organic dye molecules.

It is meaningful to search high-efficient and inexpensive electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Here, we report the preparation of ultrafine Ru nanoparticles from a hybrid of ZIF-L(Co) MOF and polydopamine coated few-layered Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (FL-Ti 3 C 2 T x ). FL-Ti 3 C 2 T x is used as a template to grow regular leaf-shaped ZIF-L(Co) nanosheets through the reaction of Co ions anchored on the MXene surface with 2-methylimidazole. The obtained hybrid is then doped with Ru ions through ion exchange between Ru and Co ions, followed by thermal annealing at a temperature of 350 °C in an Ar atmosphere to produce ultrafine Ru nanoparticles. The obtained Ru@ZIF-L(Co)/FL-Ti 3 C 2 T x nanocomposite shows outstanding HER performance with a low overpotential of 16.2 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , a small Tafel slope of 21.0 mV dec −1 and excellent stability in 1.0 M KOH solution. This work provides a new strategy for the design and synthesis of highly efficient HER catalyst via MOFs with tunable composition and structure.

Multilayered structures with abundant interfaces are highly desired for reducing the thickness and improving electromagnetic (EM) attenuation ability. Herein, elaborately designed laminar Fe 3 O 4 /MXene nanosheets exhibit great potential as high-efficiency and lightweight absorbers due to heterogeneous structure coupled with intensive magnetic-dielectric synergistic effect. The MXene nanosheets with metallic conductivity not only serve as a supporter to carry the magnetic Fe 3 O 4 , but also provide massive interfaces to facilitate the transport of charge carriers. Hollow Fe 3 O 4 microspheres were evenly dispersed without apparent agglomeration on the MXene surface, giving rise to largely enhanced consumption ability of –42.7 dB over a broad qualified bandwidth (5.7 GHz) at 2.5 mm. Besides, static density functional theory (DFT) method was introduced to shed light on the absorption mechanism by portraying the interaction between the Fe 3 O 4 and MXene. This study provides a crucial strategy for designing magnetic-supported composites by means of a large family of MXenes as thin and lightweight EM absorbers.

Conductive hydrogels are promising in the flexible wearable electronic applications due to their unique feature of intrinsic stretchability, reversible flexibility, and high electrical conductivity . However, severely poor adaptability under cold or hot environmental conditions along with inferior adhesiveness to various substrates greatly hinders the potential applications in such emerging field. Herein, we describe a mechanically flexible and electrically conductive nanocomposite hydrogel composed of polyacrylamide-co-acrylic acid/chitosan covalent-network reinforced by Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets within water-glycerol binary solvent via a simple one-pot free radical polymerization . Notably, incorporation of a low content (0.1–0.3 wt%) of MXene promotes the rapid gelation of the polymer molecules in only 10 min. The optimized hydrogel containing 0.2 wt% MXene not only possesses excellent mechanical performance (e.g., tensile elongation of ~1000%) and improved electrical conductivity (~1.34 S/m), but also shows stable temperature tolerance from − 20 to 80 °C and self-adhesion with various substrates (e.g., steel, glass, rubber, plastics and skin) as well as a rapid self-healable feature (~1.3 s). Further, such hybrid MXene hydrogel exhibits dual sensations under different strain (1–600%) and stress (80–3200 Pa) ranges, good applicability for various deformation conditions (tension/bend/compression), and wide temperature adoptability with stable repeatability. Clearly, this versatile MXene nanocomposite hydrogel developed may provide a new route for the rational design and development of advanced skin-like sensor for complex environmental application.
