Recent years have witnessed the ever-increasing achievements of Ti3C2 MXene quantum dots (Ti3C2 MQDs) and their vital contributions to fluorescent biosensing. However, the applicability and flexibility of most Ti3C2 MQDs-based sensors are limited by their emission of a single blue wavelength. To address this issue, we present a facile strategy to utilize carbon dots as the model to construct a ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer to quantitatively monitor crystal violet. The fabricated probe exhibited dual emission at 440 and 565 nm respectively, when introducing crystal violet, the peak at 565 nm was quenched but 440 nm remained constant. Further aiming for portable, convenient, and on-site analysis, an innovative smartphone-assisted platform provides promising perspectives on the future in-situ quantitation. This work creates a general strategy for constructing the Ti3C2 MQDs-based composite fluorescent system, as well as suggests great application potential in food security monitoring.

Solar photocatalysis has long relied on the rational design of semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, a ternary meso-TiO2@ZnIn2S4/Ti3C2 MXene photocatalyst is prepared and demonstrated with a core–shell structure accompanied by few-layered Ti3C2 Mxene on the ZnIn2S4 shell. The success of the synthesis depends on a two-step method consisting of hydrothermal and electrostatic self-assembly procedures. The ternary heterojunction exhibits a good behavior for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. A mechanism study of the photocatalytic reaction indicates that the photogenerated charges transfer in a Z-scheme pathway. Moreover, the construction of the Schottky junction between metallic Ti3C2 and TiO2@ZnIn2S4 is extremely effective for the reduction reaction. Consequently, the photocatalytic rates toward CO and CH4 production are up to 30.5 and 34.0 μmol/g within 3 h of illumination by simulated sunlight, respectively, while the CH4 selectivity reaches 52.7%. This work provides a good strategy to achieve highly efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Construction of heterojunction and nitrogen doping is an effective approach for synthesizing photocatalysts with high quantum yield and efficient electron-hole separation. 2D MXene Ti 3 C 2 has been considered a good carbonaceous nanomaterial for designing heterojunction, while the original surface groups and stacked structure limit the electron-hole separation. Herein, a hybrid of nitrogen-doped Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets and TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) composed of TiO 2 NPs in situ growing on isopropyl amine (iPA) modified Ti 3 C 2 (iN-Ti 3 C 2 ) was developed for the first time. The novel iN-Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 hybrid exhibited an excellent ultraviolet-light photodegradation of methylene blue (MB), with a degradation rate (0.02642 min −1 ) significantly higher than that of pure TiO 2 NPs, bulk-Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 , dimethyl sulfoxide modified Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 hybrid, and hydrazine monohydrate modified Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 hybrid. The formation of heterojunction between iN-Ti 3 C 2 and TiO 2 and its role in the photocatalysis were systematically analyzed using various characterization techniques and density functional theory calculation. The iPA modification exfoliated Ti 3 C 2 and doped N on Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets; the in situ grown TiO 2 NPs formed efficient heterojunctions with the nanosheets; the N-doping facilitated electron migration in Ti 3 C 2 and inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs; •OH dominated the photodegradation of MB. This work provides a new approach of constructing efficient photocatalysts for the treatment of organics-polluted water.

MXene has emerged as one of the most interest two-dimensional layered materials that has been extensively explored for various applications. In this work, a novel biomimetic method has been developed for the first time to fabricate Ti 3 C 2 MXene based magnetic Fe 3 O 4 composites that relied on the self-polymerization of dopamine and subsequent mild temperature pyrolysis. We demonstrated that many organic dyes could be rapidly degraded by the MXene-MNPs composites through Fenton reaction with extremely high efficiency. The degradation efficiency could be greater than 97 % under the optimized experimental conditions. Moreover, the catalysts displayed a good recyclable property after five continuous cycles. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and quenching results indicated that both OH and O 2 − were the reactive species and involved in the degradation process. Owing to the universality and mild reaction conditions of mussel-inspired biomimetic method, many other multifunctional composites with great research interest could also be fabricated. We also believe that this work will provide some new insights for fabrication of highly efficient catalysts for advanced oxidation processes and exploring the critical roles of polydopamine in advanced oxidation procedures.

Advanced synthesis of nanoflower structures consisting of TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 nanoflowers with three-dimensional (3D) porous frameworks from two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 MXene was done and applied for degradation of organic pollutant. The special structure of material was created by the in situ transformation, starting from Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as provision of Ti source. The basis properties of material were characterized by SEM, TEM , XRD and XPS. The Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene showed layered structure and then this morphology was replaced by nanoflower spheres with rapid growth of TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 nanowhiskers. In terms of application, the TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 heterojunction showed an extraordinary photocatalytic efficiency toward Rhodamine B (RhB) compared to performances of pristine Ti 3 C 2 , and commercial TiO 2 . In addition, the TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composite also displays the good recyclability even after 5th degradation cycles. Based on the finding, it gains a deeper insight into practical applications of 2D transition metal carbide for treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater.

Ti3C2 has been considered as a potential material for lithium-ion storage because of its abundant surface terminals, excellent metal-like conductivity, and modifiable layered structure. However, the Li+ diffusion rate in interlayer is limited by the small interlayer spacing determined by the van der Waals forces. Herein, the dehydration condensation reaction between amino-functionalized Ti3C2 (Ti3C2-NH2) and maleic acid (MA) molecules was utilized to enlarge the interlayer spacing of Ti3C2. The MA molecules were successfully welded into interlayers of Ti3C2 by HN–C═O bonds (namely, chemical welding) and MA chemical welded Ti3C2 (MA-Ti3C2) with self-adaption layered structure were obtained. The MA molecules can contribute double effects to the layered structure of Ti3C2, and they act as chains to remit the volume change during Li+ insertion and serve as pillars to enhance the structure stability during Li+ extraction. The MA-Ti3C2 exhibits an interlayer spacing of 1.28 nm, a fast Li+ diffusion rate (1.4 × 10–8 to 5.8 × 10–7 cm2 s–1), and improved Li+ storage performance. The MA-Ti3C2//AC lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) demonstrates an excellent energy density of 102.5 Wh kg–1 at 200 W kg–1 and cycle stability with 76.3% at 1.0 A g–1 after 1000 cycles. This novel chemical welding delivers an effective perspective for modifying the layered structure, enhancing the structure stability, and achieving fast Li+ diffusion and high-rate capability of two-dimension materials.

construction of the Schottky-junction is considered to be a valid route to boost the spatial charge separation and transfer of the photocatalytic system. Herein, two-dimensional (2D) O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets were prepared by an annealing route, and then a 2D/2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction was fabricated using an in-situ electrostatic assembly of negatively charged Ti 3 C 2 MXene and positively charged O-doped g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 MXene/O-doped g-C 3 N 4 Schottky-junction exhibited almost two times enhanced hydrogen evolution (25124 μmol/g/h) in comparison to pristine O-doped g-C 3 N 4 (13745 μmol/g/h) and Ti 3 C 2 MXene/pristine C 3 N 4 (15573 μmol/g/h). Based on fully characterizations and theory calculation, the enhanced photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the synergy effect of intimate 2D/2D interfacial contact and the construction of Schottky-junction, which result in the short charge transport distance from HCN to Ti 3 C 2 MXene and efficient separation of the photo-generated charge. This study will provide new insight into developing 2D/2D Schottky-junction photocatalysts for the solution of the energy crisis.

The presented work compared the etching behavior between combustion synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 (SHS-Ti 3 AlC 2 ) and pressureless synthesized Ti 3 AlC 2 (PLS-Ti 3 AlC 2 ). Because the former had a more compact structure, it was harder to be etched than PLS-Ti 3 AlC 2 under the same conditions. When served as anode material for Li-ion batteries, SHS-Ti 3 C 2 showed much lower capacity than PLS-Ti 3 C 2 at 1 C (52.7 and 87.4 mAh g −1 , respectively) due to the smaller d -spacing. Furthermore, Potentiostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (PITT) was used to determine the Li-ion chemical diffusion coefficient ( D Li + ) of Ti 3 C 2 in the range of 10 −10 − 10 −9 cm 2 s −1 , indicating that Ti 3 C 2 could exhibit an excellent diffusion mobility for Li-ion.

Photocatalytic removal of tetracycline (TC) from wastewater is an advantageous method with green and efficient potentials, while the low light utilization and severe charge carrier recombination of conventional photocatalysts limit their practical application. The TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 derived from in-situ partly oxidation of Ti 3 C 2 MXene precursors on which Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) was tightly loaded was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal synthesis route. The introducing TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 accelerated the transfer of electrons, improving the efficiency of electron-hole separation, thus strengthened the photocatalytic performance. Under optimum conditions, the BMO/TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 composite significantly removed 87.54 % TC from wastewater within 150 min, which was higher than the original counterparts and remained almost unchanged after four cycles. The active species trapping experiments and ESR analysis displayed that •O 2 - played a dominant role in TC degradation. The possible degradation pathways were also deduced through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis experiments, demonstrating that the terminal products of degradation were mainly CO 2 and H 2 O, confirming the potential of BMO/TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 photocatalyst for the environmentally friendly treatment of antibiotic pollutants in wastewater.

Herein, a collection of novel N-Ti 3 C 2 /BiOCl x Br 1−x composites are fabricated via a simple in-situ sonochemical process. Not only the preparation method for N-Ti 3 C 2 but also the photocatalytic system of N-Ti 3 C 2 /BiOCl x Br 1−x are firstly developed. Multiple characterizations jointly demonstrate the successful fabrication of the composites. Compared to that of BiOCl x Br 1−x , the maximum improvements of 1.16, 1.25 and 1.26 folds are severally confirmed for the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin, Rhodamine B, and methylene blue over N-Ti 3 C 2 /BiOCl x Br 1−x composites. In addition, through radicals trapping tests, the primary active species in photocatalytic degradation process are verified to be O 2 − . Moreover, N-Ti 3 C 2 /BiOCl x Br 1−x composites also exhibit 1.18 and 1.14 times enhancements for NH 3 production compared with that of BiOCl x Br 1−x with or without the presence of methanol, respectively. In addition, the maximum improvements of photo-current and photo-potential for BiOCl x Br 1−x are 1.29 and 1.86 folds with the introduction of N-Ti 3 C 2 , respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of N-Ti 3 C 2 /BiOCl x Br 1−x composites is owing to the heightened light absorption, increased specific surface area, and accelerated separation of photoinduced carriers. Additionally, the stable photocatalytic properties of N-Ti 3 C 2 /BiOCl x Br 1−x are confirmed by three photocatalytic recycle tests on pollutant degradation and nitrogen reduction combined with X-ray diffraction patterns before and after three recycles. This study suggests that N-Ti 3 C 2 is an efficient ornamentation for boosting photocatalytic activity of BiOCl x Br 1−x , which can also be expanded as a promising modifier for other semiconductors.

Ti 3 C 2 MXene (TM) has great application potential in the field of wave absorption and corrosion resistance due to its unique performance, such as high specific surface area, high electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical and good chemical stability. However, it is difficult to obtain uniformly dispersed TM in the resin matrix due to rapid agglomeration behavior. It is difficult to obtain uniformly dispersed Ti 3 C 2 MXene (TM) in the resin matrix due to rapid agglomeration behavior. Herein, a novel method is presented to improve the corrosion protection and dispersion of TM by polymerizing polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles between layers. The waterborne epoxy (WEP) coating with PANI-TM had high mechanical properties including impact resistance, adhesion, and flexibility and wear resistance. The PANI-TM-WEP composites can effectively absorb more than 90 % of the electromagnetic waves and demonstrate a decreased glass transition temperature of WEP from 128.0 to 107.6 ℃. Moreover, the |Z| 0.01Hz value of the PANI-TM 0.5 % was 1.2369 × 10 6 Ω·cm 2 , which was one order of magnitude larger than WEP coating. The high-performance anticorrosion of PANI intercalated TM coating is attributed to the synergistic effect of impermeable TM nanosheets and passivation effect of PANI. Therefore, PANI-TM is a potential choice for applications in the fields of anticorrosion and microwave absorption.
