Nitrogen-doped Ti 3 C 2 T y MXene with multivalent cobalt and oxygen vacancy (Vo) modification was obtained by using molten salt method and greatly improved electrocatalytic performance. The structural properties of MXene and the valence state of cobalt were adjusted by controlling the molten salt temperature. When the molten salt treatment temperature was 377 °C, the obtained 377-CoO x N 1-x -Ti 3 C 2 T y maintained the chemical structure of MXene well, and also has high Co 2+ content and Vo content. Electrochemical test results showed that 377-CoO x N 1-x -Ti 3 C 2 T y had the lowest Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) overpotential of 87.73 mV and good electrocatalytic stability. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) results and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations showed that the introduction of polyvalent cobalt and Vo in the nitrogen-doped Ti 3 C 2 T y structure effectively reduced the energy barrier of the electrocatalytic reaction of MXene.

MXenes, a class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, hold great promise for electrochemical energy storage applications due to their exceptional electronic conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and pseudocapacitive charge storage mechanisms. This study introduces a one-step approach to deposit Mo and Ti-dual oxide nanoparticles in situ onto Mo2Ti2C3Tx MXene using the Lewis acid molten salt method (LAMS), meticulously optimizing annealing conditions. The incorporation of Mo and Ti dual oxide nanoparticles improves the pristine Mo2Ti2C3Tx MXene by preventing collapse of the layered structure and restacking of MXene sheets. Both three-electrode and coin cell devices are assessed in an aqueous electrolyte, illustrating the favorable role of the nanoparticles acting as spacers. Remarkable outcomes include a specific capacity of 434 C g–1 at 5 mA cm–2, exceptional capacity retention of 94% after 5000 charge–discharge cycles at 50 mA cm–2, and a high gravimetric energy density of 52.5 W h kg–1 at a power density of 1442 W kg–1 in an aqueous 3 M KOH electrolyte. This research underscores the potential of double transition metal MXenes as energy storage electrodes and an eco-friendly mass synthesis route, contributing to sustainable advancements in energy storage technology.

Precise anchoring and high-density utilization of platinum single atoms (Pt SA ) remain critical challenges in advancing efficient hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Here, we present an innovative magnetic-field-assisted electrodeposition strategy for the controllable synthesis of high-density Pt SA on two-dimensional MXene substrates. Application of a 0.6 T magnetic field significantly enhanced Pt SA deposition kinetics, yielding a 2.1-fold increase in the deposition rate. Numerical simulations confirmed that magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects induced by the magnetic field were the primary mechanism driving this enhanced deposition efficiency. The optimized Pt SA -0.6@MXene/NF catalyst exhibited outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance in 1 M KOH, achieving an ultralow overpotential of 12 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , along with a Tafel slope of 29 mV dec −1 . Notably, the catalyst demonstrated 66.1-fold higher Pt mass activity (3458.7 A g −1 ) compared to commercial Pt/C (52.3 A g −1 ) at a 50 mV overpotential. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the high-density Pt SA configuration synergistically enhances MXene's electrical conductivity while lowering the d-band center, thereby optimizing the energy barrier for hydrogen intermediate (H*) adsorption. This work provides a novel strategy for regulating the magnetic-field-assisted deposition of Pt SA catalysts, offering a new avenue for designing high-performance water electrolysis catalysts.

Aiming to enhance permeation and anti-fouling performance of PVDF membrane, IL/PVDF and MXene-IL/PVDF mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated by incorporating 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ionic liquid (IL) and MXene-IL. The microstructures of IL/PVDF and MXene-IL/PVDF MMMs were characterized by TEM, SEM, FTIR, XRD, and XPS analysis. The performance of the MMMs was evaluated in the dead-end filtration, and results showed that IL addition would increase the pore size and hydrophilicity of IL/PVDF MMMs, thereby enhancing water flux and anti-fouling performance of the MMMs. However, IL would be dissolved out from IL/PVDF MMMs during the filtration process, which would depress the flux recovery rate of the MMMs. For MXene-IL/PVDF MMMs, IL was encapsulated by intercalating into the MXene nanosheets and effectively prevented the loss of IL from Mxene-IL/PVDF MMMs in the running process. MXene-IL/PVDF MMMs had high water flux and antifouling performance, and the maximum flux recovery rate of MXene-IL co-incorporated PVDF MMMs reached 96% after four-cycle filtration, and the corresponding water flux was 129.37 L·m −2 ·h −1 . Compared with PVDF membrane, pure water flux and flux recovery rate of MXene-IL/PVDF mixed matrix membranes increased by 4.37 and 1.83 times, respectively.

Herein, the MXene@Cu nanocomposites were prepared via electrostatic adsorption of Cu 2+ and then in-situ reduction. The Cu 2+ is uploaded on the surface of MXene nanosheets via electrostatic adsorption, which was followed by in-situ reduction with NaBH 4 to obtain Cu nanoparticle attached MXene (MXene@Cu) hybrids. The results revealed that the friction coefficient of MXene@Cu decrease from 0.434 to 0.110 and the wear volume loss decreased by 88.1% via changing the loading amount of Cu nanoparticles. The excellent tribological performance of MXene@Cu is attributed to the synergistic effect of MXene nanosheets and Cu nanoparticle , which can adsorb on the surface of friction pair and induce tribochemical reaction. A stable protective film is formed on the worn surface, thereby reducing fiction and wear.

Flexible wearable pressure sensors have attracted tremendous interest for applications in human health monitoring, electronic skin, artificial intelligence and so on. However, it is still a critical challenge for pressure sensors to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity and wide sensing range while performing well in response time, stability, reliability and wearing comfortability. Here, conductive MXene/cotton fabric was fabricated using the simple dip-coating technique and then sandwiched between polydimethylsiloxane film and an interdigitated electrode for flexible wearable piezoresistive pressure sensor. The abundant hydroxyl groups of cotton fabric and functional groups of MXene were beneficial for the good adhesion of conductive MXene nanosheets onto the entangled fiber networks, constructing effective conductive network. Taking advantage of the excellent flexibility and three-dimensional porous structure of cotton fabric and the special sandwich architecture of the sensor, the MXene/cotton fabric (MCF) based pressure sensor exhibited high sensitivity (5.30 kPa −1 in the pressure range of 0–1.30 kPa), broad sensing range (0–160 kPa), rapid response/recovery time (50 ms/20 ms), excellent stability and long-term durability. Moreover, the MCF based pressure sensor can be employed to detect and distinguish various human health signals, including finger motion, early stage Parkinson’s static tremor and wrist pulse. Importantly, E-skin was also designed based on the MCF based pressure sensor for the recognition of different tactile stimuli, exhibiting promising potential in next generation wearable electronics.

Controlling the orientation of two-dimensional MXene within layered films is essential to optimize or tune their mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI) performance, but achieving the high orientation MXene layers on an industrial scale remains a challenging goal. In this paper, a scalable layer-by-layer blade coating (LbLBC) method was employed to fabricate highly oriented MXene/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films. During the LbLBC process, MXene/PVA colloid suffered a strong shearing effect, which induced the ordered alignment of MXene nanosheets along the direction of the blade movement. The orientation of MXene can be effectively adjusted by changing the scraping gap of LbLBC, achieving a maximum Herman orientation factor f of 0.81. As a result, the mechanical properties and EMI performance of the as-prepared MXene/PVA films are in direct proportion to their orientation, with the optimal values of tensile strength of 145.5 MPa, fracture strain of 19.6%, toughness of 17.7 MJ·m −3 , and EMI shielding effectiveness of 36.7 dB. Furthermore, the inherently low mid-infrared (mid-IR) emissivity of MXene, combined with the densely oriented structure affords the composite films with IR stealth, resulting in a substantial decrease from 150 to 66.1 °C in the radiative temperature of a surface. Conclusively, these scalable MXene/PVA films exhibit remarkable potential for integration into the next generation of multifunctional protective camouflage materials.

An innovative electrochemical biosensor is proposed for the sensitive detection of ofloxacin (OFL) by integrating exonuclease I (Exo I)–assisted recognition-transduction strategy into the MXene/AuNP-enhanced electrochemical platform. Through ingenious design, the presence of OFL triggers the competitive displacement reaction and enables Exo I to hydrolyze the released single-stranded DNA probe containing the sequence of Pb 2+ -DNAzyme, protecting the signal probes on the electrode surface from DNAzyme cleavage, which eventually brings about a remarkable electrochemical signal positively related to the concentration of OFL. MXene/AuNPs with excellent conductivity, large specific surface area, and good chemical stability are employed as the electrode substrate to efficiently accelerate charge transfer and increase the loading capacity for signal probes, leading to the enhancement of signal output and endowing the biosensor with high sensitivity, rapid response, and fine robustness. Taking advantage of OFL recognition–initiated Exo I hydrolysis to DNAzyme, the electrochemical platform with “signal-off/on” mode can detect OFL with good specificity and reduced background interference. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of the involved sensing elements, the developed electrochemical biosensor achieves a low detection limit of 0.47 pg mL −1 with a broad linear range and exhibits satisfactory detection performance in real food samples, indicating potential practical applicability in food safety monitoring.

The composite electrode materials (rGO/MXene@NiCoO 2 ) have been prepared by tightly wrapping of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and MXene to NiCoO 2 nanosheets . The specific capacitance of rGO/MXene@NiCoO 2 -5wt% is 1614 F·g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 , maintains at 1257.5 F·g −1 when increasing the current density to 10 A·g −1 . And the capacitance retention is 77.29% even after 10,000 cycles. It is attributed to the special interlayer network structure of the rGO/MXene@NiCoO 2 composite, which promotes more ion intercalation/deintercalation and improves the structure stability. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is assembled using rGO/MXene@NiCoO 2 as the positive electrode and rGO/MXene as the negative electrode, respectively. The maximum energy density is 45.15 Wh·kg −1 and the power density is 394.52 W·kg −1 . After 10,000 cycles with current density at 5 A·g −1 , the capacity retention rate is 82.69%. These results demonstrate the potential application of rGO/MXene@NiCoO 2 composite networks as electrode materials for supercapacitors.

The rapid development of communication technologies and flexible human–computer interfaces, necessitates the fabrication of a strain sensor with high sensitivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance. The purpose is to monitor human movement and protection from electromagnetic damage. Herein, we prepared tough, conductive, and self-healing carbon nanotube@cellulose/MXene (CCM) acrylamide-based hydrogels to achieve the dual-functional applications of strain sensors and EMI shielding. The carbon nanotubes and cellulose self-assembled into conductive fibers. Then, the two-dimensional MXene nanosheets were interconnected through the conductive fibers while being cross-linked into a complete conductive network through the metal–ligand bonding of Zn 2+ . Owing to the excellent conductivity (9.64 S/m) of the CCM hydrogel and the non-covalent reversible interactions among the components, the composite hydrogel exhibited excellent tensile strain (~424 %), efficient self-healing ability (87.2 %), frost and water retention ( T c < −60 °C), and efficient shielding effectiveness (51.8 dB). Meanwhile, as a strain sensor, it also possessed excellent sensing performance such as high sensitivity (GF = 20.17), wide detection range (0 %–400 %), fast response time (~135 ms), and high stability (~500 cycles). These features provide an idea for the subsequent design of flexible sensing electronics with EMI shielding performance.

Manganese-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have garnered growing interest in the area of adaptable and wearable devices because of their properties of simple manufacturing, superior safety, and ecological compatibility. Nevertheless, the actual implementation of Mn-based cathodes has faced challenges due to their inadequate conductivity and poor cycling performance. In this study, a chemical synthesis approach was employed to directly grow MnO 2 on the surface and within the interlayer spaces of MXene. Subsequently, the composite was coated onto carbon felt (CF) using the impregnation method to fabricate binder-free MnO 2 /MXene/CF cathodes for AZIBs. The excellent conductivity and structural stability of MXene effectively enhance ion/electron transport kinetics and mitigate irreversible volume changes of MnO 2 during charge and discharge processes. CF with excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility serves as an ideal current collector and substrate material for loading active materials. Moreover, its distinctive three-dimensional porous structure facilitates optimal interaction between the electrode material and the electrolyte. Consequently, the flexible quasi-solid-state AZIB, consisting of the optimized MnO 2 /MXene/CF cathode and zinc foil anode, exhibits high charge storage performance (a specific capacity of 429.1 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and an excellent energy density of 343.2 Wh kg −1 at 79.9 W kg −1 ). Density functional theory analysis reveals that the incorporation of MXene enhances electron adsorption on MnO 2 and significantly alters the density of states of MnO 2 , thus markedly improving its conductivity. These encouraging findings suggest that manganese-based materials hold great potential for application as cathodes in flexible quasi-solid-state AZIBs.

In today's digital era, electromagnetic radiation pollution and fire hazard stand as a dual-edged sword, not only diminishing the efficacy of sophisticated electronic devices but also threatening human health. As a result, the pursuit of advanced electromagnetic shielding materials with high flame retardancy has ascended to the forefront of research priorities, underscoring their crucial role in mitigating these risks. In this study, pyrrole polymerization was employed to obtain a modified PPy-MXene, which was used to construct flame retardant modified MXene aerogel composites by the "Concreting" method. It was found that peak heat release rate, the total heat release, peak CO₂ production rate, peak smoke production rate and total smoke release of the C 1 M 2 MT FRs were reduced by 67.7 %, 46.7 %, 71.4 %, 71.7 % and 77.3 %, respectively. Furthermore, the average electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of C 1 M 2 MT FRs in the X-band and K-band reached 67.3 dB and 91.4 dB, respectively. It was noted that CMMT FRs had the ultra-low reflectivity (as low as 0.14). Additionally, the mechanical durability and strength of the aerogel composites were obviously enhanced, with compressive stress increased by a factor of 3.2, in comparison with that of the CNF aerogel.
