Photodynamic therapy as an antibiotic-free method could effectively solve the bacterial infection problem and avoid the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this paper, Ti 3 C 2 @gold nanorods (GNRs)/PDA nanoparticles with synergistic photodynamic antibacterial properties were obtained by coating PDA on the surface of in situ growth Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs. GNRs growing on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets effectively prevented the aggregation of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, which ensured the distinct photodynamic antibacterial performance of Ti 3 C 2 . In addition, the introduction of SH-PEG-CH 3 to Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs nanosheets endowed Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles with good biocompatibility. Furthermore, Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles possessed synergistically enhanced photodynamic properties, caused by the remarkable photodynamic properties of Ti 3 C 2 MXene and PDA. In addition, with the increase in PDA content, Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles could produce more 1 O 2 under 660 nm laser irradiation and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA 50 nanoparticles against E. coli and S. aureus decreased to about 0.07 mg/mL. Thus, this work utilizes the 1 O 2 -generating performance of Ti 3 C 2 MXene and PDA to fabricate Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA nanoparticles with synergistically enhanced photodynamic antibacterial activities, which is expected to be applied in antibiotic-free antibacterial field.

Ti 3 C 2 MXene has demonstrated to be a potential microwave absorber if some difficulties, e.g., poor impedance matching and lack of magnetic loss, can be well-solved. In this paper, laminated Ti 3 C 2 MXene was synthesized using the HF etching method. CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles-decorated Ti 3 C 2 MXene (CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 ) composites were then fabricated via a novel in-situ solvothermal process. The incorporation of CoFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles on the electromagnetic (EM) and microwave absorption properties of Ti 3 C 2 MXene were systematically studied over 2–18 GHz. Interestingly, increased percolation threshold and controlled complex permittivity were well-observed in the CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 composites. Furthermore, additional magnetic loss due to the existence of magnetic CoFe 2 O 4 was easily obtained. Benefiting from tunable electromagnetic properties, the minimum reflection loss (RL) value of the CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 -filled absorbing coating achieved −30.9 dB with a matching thickness of only 1.5 mm. A wide effective absorption bandwidth (RL < −10 dB) of 8.5 GHz was correspondingly realized. These results demonstrated that the CoFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 composites are favorable as a broadband microwave absorbent.

The preparation of high-efficiency photocatalysts by green and mild methods is very attractive for photocatalysis field. Here, TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 was prepared by in-situ oxidation with a green method, in which only water or H 2 O 2 was used. A heterojunction interface formed between the anatase phase TiO 2 and the Ti 3 C 2, which was demonstrated by HRTEM and XRD. Fluorescence spectra and i-t transient photocurrent are used to study the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The close contact between Ti 3 C 2 and TiO 2 speed up the separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, promoting a higher hydrogen production performance around 2520.4 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 on TCT-1.

Carbon support used in commercial Pt/C commonly suffers from corrosion under harsh electrooxidation environment endowed by anodic potential. An alternative support with superior electric conductivity and stable structure should be developed. Herein, Ti 3 C 2 MXene was synthesized as support to immobilize Pt nanoparticles due to its fascinating stable layered structure, and metallic property. Used as electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for the first time, as-prepared Pt/Ti 3 C 2 MXene showed much enhanced electrocatalytic activity for methanol oxidation, as unraveled by its peak current density of 1.137 mA/cm 2 , nearly three times larger than that of Pt/C (0.388 mA/cm 2 ). Moreover, it also exhibited long-term stability even running for 2 h. In addition, Pt/Ti 3 C 2 MXene was able to catalyze electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution with only 7 mV overpotential at − 10 mA/cm 2 , obviously lower than that of Pt/C (17 mV). The improved MOR and HER activity of Pt/Ti 3 C 2 MXene could be assigned to the unique stable 2D nanosheet structure, excellent electric conductivity, strong binding strength as well as electronic effect between Pt and Ti 3 C 2 MXene. This work widens the application of Ti 3 C 2 MXene in the field of methanol oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction.

Exploiting novel materials with high specific capacities is crucial for the progress of advanced energy storage devices. Intentionally constructing functional heterostructures based on a variety of two-dimensional (2D) substances proves to be an extremely efficient method for capitalizing on the shared benefits of these materials. By elaborately designing the structure, a greatly escalated steadiness can be achieved throughout electrochemical cycles, along with boosted electron transfer kinetics. In this study, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was utilized to alter the surface composition of multilayer Ti3C2TxMXene, contributing to contriving various layered heterostructure materials through a precise adjustment of the reaction temperature. The optimal composite materials at a reaction temperature of 500 °C (defined as MX500), incorporating MXene as the conductive substrate, exhibited outstanding stability and high coulombic efficiency during electrochemical cycling. Meanwhile, the reactive sites are increased by using TiS2and TiO2at the heterogeneous interfaces, which sustains a specific capacity of 449 mAh g−1after 200 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g−1and further demonstrates their exceptional electrochemical characteristics. Additionally, the noted pseudocapacitive properties, like MXene materials, further highlight the diverse capabilities of intuitive material design. This study illuminates the complex details of surface modification in multilayer MXene and offers a crucial understanding of the strategic creation of heterostructures, significantly impacting sophisticated electrochemical applications.

Intracellular glutathione (GSH) sensing was important for monitoring many diseases and health of cell. In this study, we prepared surface-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 quantum dots (QDs) by ultrasonic cutting and hydrothermal method. Bright excitation wavelength-dependent blue emission was observed in Ti 3 C 2 QDs which was attributed to surface defects and quantum confinement effects. Furthermore, we developed a novel fluorescence sensor that can detect GSH with high sensitivity, based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer process from Ti 3 C 2 quantum dots to GSH, with a detection limit of 0.02 μM approximately. This novel Ti 3 C 2 QD can be used as a promising fluorescent sensor for practical applications.

Compared with traditional two-dimensional layered materials, MXene with metal-like conductivity has excellent chemical reaction activity and hydrophilicity, which can be used as ideal substrate materials. Nanocomposites with the non-noble metal based on MXene have important application prospects in the field of electrocatalytic decomposition of water. In this study, Co4MnFe3/Ti3C2 has been successfully synthesized only by the one-step method and prepared using ultrathin two-dimensional layered Ti3C2 as substrate materials, which is much more convenient than most electrocatalyst hybridization. The hybrid exhibits excellent electrochemical performance in alkaline media with an overpotential of 263 mV and Tafel slope of 26.3 mV·dec–1, which is much lower than that of its pure Co4MnFe3 counterparts and RuO2 catalyst in alkaline medium. When the current density reaches 10 mA/cm2, excellent long-range stability is displayed. Meanwhile, a fast reaction kinetics can also be obtained. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations reveal that, due to electron interactions and d-band center of metals, the enhanced density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi level has great influence on the oxygen evolution reaction property of the electrocatalyst via adjusting the adsorption strength of intermediates, which can improve the electrocatalytic performance of the hybrid. More importantly, this work provides a new approach for the electrolytic water oxygen evolution reaction of MXene-based catalysts in alkaline media and shed light on the exploration of advanced electrocatalysts for renewable energy conversion and storage systems.

MXene is a new two-dimensional (2D) material with excellent physical and chemical properties. However, the MXene nanosheets have high surface energy and exhibit poor dispersibility and stability in oil, owing to the presence of ‒OH, ‒O, and ‒F functional groups on the surface. Herein, 2D Ti 3 C 2 MXene material was chemically modified with tetradecylphosphonic acid (TDPA). Through the condensation reaction of the phosphoric acid groups with hydroxyl groups on the Ti 3 C 2 surface, a modified Ti 3 C 2 nanosheet (TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 ) was obtained. We dispersed TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 into castor oil to study its tribological properties. Compared with pure castor oil, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate (W r ) of castor oil with 0.1 wt% TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 are reduced by 27.9% and 55.1%, respectively. The possible friction-reducing and anti-wear mechanisms of TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 in castor oil were explored by analyzing the surface morphologies of the wear scars. The improvement of lubrication performance is attributed to the deposition and adsorption of TDPA-Ti 3 C 2 on the friction surface during the lubrication process, forming a physical transfer film to prevent direct contact with the friction pair. The research results show that the modified Ti 3 C 2 has broad application prospects in lubrication and tribology .

Electrocatalysts with the advantages of stability, high efficiency, and noble-metal-free features are in urgent need for water splitting. Herein, for the first time, based on the interface engineering, a novel BNNS@Ti3C2 intercalation electrocatalyst was prepared via a controllable synthesis strategy. The rich active sites of Ti3C2 were better protected as well as were able to serve as a bridge to connect the different layers of BNNS. Furthermore, combining the first-principles calculations, the nature of the interface proved the transformation from semiconducting properties to metallicity in this unique intercalation structure. The as-obtained composite possessed improved conductivity and abundant catalytic active sites, exhibiting a low onset potential of 23 mV and overpotential of 52 mV (vs. RHE) at 10 mA cm−2 with outstanding stability. BNNS@Ti3C2 was used as an electrocatalyst for the first time without noble-metal assistance. This study demonstrates that the layered materials can serve as a promising electrocatalyst by interfacing with the intercalation structure.

Photocatalytic degradation is a potential method to solve pollution caused by waste lubricating oils. In this work, vertically aligned MoS2 layers are grown on Ti3C2 via hydrothermal method and the influence of the friction time on its photocatalytic performance was studied. The results show that friction benefits the improvement of the efficiency of catalytic degradation because of the change of photocatalysts’ morphology caused by the shear force and pressure from rubbing pair, which generates more active sites. MoS2@Ti3C2 nanohybrid with friction time of 60 min has the best photocatalytic performance in terms of waste oil (liquid paraffin) and methyl orange removal of 80.5 and 98%, respectively. The Schottky junction between Ti3C2 and MoS2 and the heterojunction between MoS2 and TiO2 can prolong the recombination time of electron–hole pairs and widen the absorption range of the visible light, which play a key role in the excellent photocatalytic activity of the MoS2@Ti3C2 nanohybrid.

In this study, a photoelectrochemical sensor for the detection of glucose was developed by combining the unique properties of NH 2 -MIL-125 and Ti 3 C 2 film. The relationship between the microstructure of the samples and their performance in glucose detection was investigated. Experimental results demonstrated a linear decrease in the differential pulse voltammetry current of the Ti 3 C 2 /NH 2 -MIL-125-3 photoelectrochemical sensor with increasing glucose concentration. Below 200 μM, the relationship between DPV current and glucose concentration was found to be: I (mA) = − 3.86667 × 10 –8 ·c g (μM) + 3.66 × 10 –4 (c g denoted as the concentration of glucose). Above 200 μM, the relationship was: I (mA) = − 4.03049 × 10 –8 ·c g (μM) + 3.68268 × 10 –4 . Density functional theory calculations were in agreement with the experimental data. The Ti 3 C 2 /NH 2 -MIL-125-3 photoelectrochemical sensor demonstrates exceptional glucose detection capability. This technology has the potential to advance the development of MXenes/MOFs-based photoelectrochemical biosensors.

Abstract Photocatalytic degradation has received considerable emphasis since it shows significant possibilities in environmental pollution. In this work, ternary Z-scheme heterojunction g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 photocatalysts are designed and fabricated. The Z-scheme heterojunctions formed on the surfaces of g-C 3 N 4 and TiO 2 dramatically modify the photocatalytic performances of the compound under illumination. Meanwhile, in this process, multilayer Ti 3 C 2 , as the transport medium of Z-scheme heterojunction, is tightly bonded to TiO 2 generated by hydrothermal oxidation and g-C 3 N 4 with large specific surface area, which effectively facilitates the space charge separation and depresses the charge recombination. When the addition amount of TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 is 80 mg and calcined at 450 ℃ for 4 h, g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 has the greatest photocatalytic performance, and the kinetic constant for degradation methyl orange (MO) was about 3.62 times that of g-C 3 N 4 and 14.55 times that of Ti 3 C 2 , respectively. This work illustrates that g-C 3 N 4 /TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 has outstanding potential and offers novel insights for designing and synthesizing new ternary heterojunction materials. Graphical Abstract
