To resolve the conflict between multidimensional interferences derived from complex matrices and the stringent requirements for trace-level detection sensitivity, a novel electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for highly sensitive kanamycin (KANA) detection based on a split aptamer engineering strategy. Ag–Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, synthesized via in-situ reduction of silver nanoparticles onto the surface of two-dimensional MXene nanosheets, is employed for electrode decoration. This composite possesses abundant binding sites for aptamer 1 (Apt1) immobilization and exhibits outstanding catalytic performance in the reduction of H 2 O 2 . Signal acquisitions were performed under reductive potential conditions, endowing the sensor with superior anti-interference capability. Upon KANA addition, aptamer 2 (Apt2) can assemble into a ternary structure with the target and Apt1, leading to the displacement of cDNA and triggering a signal-down response. Under optimized conditions, the fabricated aptasensor presents a broad linear range of 1∼20000 nM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.12 nM, and exhibits excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and strong stability. In addition, the aptasensor demonstrates satisfactory recovery rates in real sample analysis, indicating its great potential for practical applications. The combination of Ag–Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanocomposite and split aptamer engineering technology provides a feasible strategy for highly sensitive detections of trace-level antibiotic residues in complex food matrices.

The rapid transition from 5G to 6G wireless technologies has led to a substantial increase in electromagnetic interference (EMI), posing significant challenges to device reliability, signal integrity, and human health. There is an urgent need for lightweight, flexible, and efficient absorption-dominant EMI shielding materials. In this study, we propose a rationally designed coaxial electrospinning strategy to fabricate hierarchical MXene/reduced graphene oxide/polyacrylonitrile core–shell nanofibers. This design integrates a conductive, MXene-rich core surrounded by a reduced graphene oxide/polyacrylonitrile outer shell, encouraging simultaneous optimization of electrical conductivity, impedance matching, and polarization loss to achieve superior EMI shielding performance and thermal blocking. Interestingly, when the reduced graphene oxide to MXene ratio was optimized to be 1:2, the resultant composite nanofiber revealed an EMI shielding effectiveness of 74.38 dB at X-band, a shielding efficiency of 99.99999635%, a high electrical conductivity (169.81 S·cm–1), and an outstanding specific shielding effectiveness of 2.54 × 104 dB·cm2·g–1. Additionally, the sample exhibited effective thermal insulation, with the surface temperature rising by only 41 °C after 1 min of exposure to a 75 °C heat source. These findings highlight the synergy between the high electrical conductivity of MXene, which enables strong internal reflection and ohmic loss, and the interfacial polarization of reduced graphene oxide, which fosters multiple internal reflections that enhance absorption. This optimized, absorption-dominated mechanism provides valuable guidance for designing next-generation lightweight and flexible EMI shielding materials for applications in aerospace, 5G/6G communications, and advanced electronic devices.

Developing cost-effective and efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is critical for sustainable hydrogen production via overall water splitting. Here, we report the rational design and synthesis of a gadolinium nitride-decorated Mxene (Gd-N/Ti 3 C 2 T x ) nanocomposite as a high-performance bifunctional electrocatalyst. The Gd-N/Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrid shows excellent activity toward both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions. The optimized electrode exhibits low overpotentials of 315.2 mV for HER and 162.8 mV for OER at 10 mA cm −2 , with Tafel slopes of 142 and 234 mV dec −1 , respectively, indicating favorable kinetics. In a two-electrode alkaline water electrolyzer, Gd-N/Ti 3 C 2 T x achieves 10 mA cm −2 at a cell voltage of 1.74 V, outperforming individual Gd-N and Ti 3 C 2 T x electrodes. The system maintains stable operation at 10 mA cm −2 for 48 h with negligible voltage fluctuation. The enhanced performance arises from strong interfacial coupling between conductive Ti 3 C 2 T x layers and catalytically active Gd-N, which promotes rapid charge transfer, increases electrochemically active surface area, and facilitates reaction kinetics. This work demonstrates Gd-N/Ti 3 C 2 T x as an earth-abundant, durable, and efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Hollow Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanospheres are synthesized via a sacrificial PS template to boost electroactive surface area. • The sensor achieves high AA sensing performance (0.394 μA·μM −1 , LOD 6.1 μM) covering sweat physiological concentration range. • A CNN-LSTM model is built to predict steady-state current using only 20 s transient chronoamperometric response. Real-time wearable health monitoring is frequently bottlenecked by the slow kinetic equilibrium of electrochemical sensors, which delays data acquisition and hinders high-frequency sampling. To bridge the gap between high sensitivity and rapid readout, this study presents a synergistic sensing strategy coupling hollow Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanospheres with a deep learning-enabled predictive algorithm for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA) in sweat. Structurally, the hollow Ti 3 C 2 T x spheres, synthesized via a sacrificial polystyrene template, provide a significantly enhanced electroactive surface area, achieving a high sensitivity of 0.394 μA·μM −1 and a limit of detection of 6.1 μM. Crucially, to resolve the trade-off between measurement accuracy and readout speed, a convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN–LSTM) cascade model was constructed. The CNN–LSTM model predicted the 60 s reference current from the first 20 s transient response, reducing the effective readout time by approximately 67%. Real-sweat validation was further performed using samples collected from five volunteers after exercise, with each sample measured in triplicate. The AA concentrations calculated from the conventional 60 s current-based method ranged from 22.05 to 36.22 μM, while the CNN–LSTM-predicted concentrations showed relative errors of 3.12–11.04% compared with the conventional readout., This integration of advanced hollow nanostructures with transient-signal learning establishes a robust pathway for next-generation wearables requiring instantaneous bio-fluid analysis.

Unlike traditional methods that await steady-state current (∼60 s), this algorithm extracts deep temporal features from the initial 20 s of the transient chronoamperometric response to accurately forecast the final equilibrium signal. The model demonstrates exceptional predictive accuracy (deviation <2.8%) while reducing the detection latency by approximately 67%. Validated in human sweat samples (29.4 μM AA), this integration of advanced hollow nanostructures with transient-signal learning establishes a robust pathway for next-generation wearables requiring instantaneous bio-fluid analysis.

The formulation and improvement of high-efficiency lubricant additives on the basis of novel two-dimensional MXene materials have drawn increasing attention in recent years. Herein, we report the synthesis of N, P doped Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene using ammonium hypophosphite as the N/P source, followed by surface modification with catechol-containing ionic liquid to obtain ionic liquid-functionalized MXene. Tribological tests reveal that ILs@N, P‑MXene markedly improve the tribological properties of 500SN with 0.75 wt% addition. Compared with the lubricant 500SN, the mean COF is reduced to 0.107, the wear volume decreases by 65.8%, and their load-carrying ability is improved to 650 N from 150 N. XPS analysis indicates that ILs@N, P-MXene undergoes tribochemical reactions with the steel substrates during sliding, forming a continuous and stable protective tribofilm comprising carbonitrides, iron oxides, titanium oxides and iron phosphates. This in-situ formed tribofilm successfully inhibits direct asperity contact between the mating surfaces, thereby endowing the lubricant system with good load-carrying capacity and improved tribological performance.

Cation-disordered rocksalt (DRX) cathodes have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage due to their high theoretical capacity and reliance on earth-abundant elements. However, their practical implementation is severely limited by inherently sluggish electrical conductivity and restricted Li + diffusion. In this study, we propose a facile structural engineering strategy by incorporating few-layer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, prepared via ball-milling, as a multifunctional conductive additive for Li 1.2 Mn 0.4 Ti 0.4 O 2 DRX cathodes. By synergistically coupling 2D MXene nanosheets with conventional 0D carbon black, a robust hierarchical “point-to-surface” conductive network is successfully constructed. Systematic electrochemical characterizations reveal that optimal MXene integration not only serves as a physical protective barrier but also provides accessible sites for transient lithium-ion storage, thereby collectively accelerating Li + /electron transport and mitigating interfacial polarization. Consequently, the optimized composite electrode with 20% MXene additive delivers a remarkably high initial discharge capacity of 203.7 mAh g − 1 at 0.1 C, substantially outperforming the pristine electrode (165.2 mAh g − 1 ), alongside markedly superior rate capability and structural reversibility. This work provides critical mechanistic insights into MXene-mediated modifications and offers a sustainable pathway for the design of high-performance Mn-based DRX cathodes.

MXenes have emerged as promising support materials for Pt nanoparticles due to their large surface area and exceptional conductivity, which can substantially reduce Pt loading while enhancing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity per unit mass of Pt. Consequently, structural optimization of MXenes to simultaneously improve Pt atomic utilization efficiency and interfacial stability has become a critical research focus. This study presents a novel strategy utilizing Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene with engineered Ti vacancies as a support for synthesizing Pt@MXene (PMX- x ) electrocatalysts through a self-reduction stabilization process. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses reveal the presence of Ti vacancies in the MXenes structure at varying concentrations, which are significantly reduced or eliminated upon Pt incorporation, accompanied by strong interactions between Pt and MXenes. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that Pt atoms occupied Ti vacancy sites and achieved optimal hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG H* = -0.38 eV), and finally leading to a significantly improved HER kinetics. As a result, the optimized catalyst exhibited superior electrochemical performance in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , which was 16.8-fold in Pt mass activity (5.05 A mg·Pt −1 at η = -75 mV) compared to commercial Pt/C (0.30 A mg·Pt −1 at η = -75 mV). This vacancy-mediated anchoring strategy establishes a new paradigm for designing high-efficiency, low-Pt electrocatalysts and demonstrates promising potential for industrial applications.

Rational design and constructed new electrode material as high performance electrochemical sensor with outstanding selectivity, reproducibility and stability is an urgent demand for trace detection. Herein, a novel Ce-MOF/Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene composite as electrochemical sensor for L-Tryptophan (L-Trp) was constructed by utilizing the three-dimensional straw-sheaf-like Ce-MOF and Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene nanosheets . The combination of Ce-MOF and Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene not only significantly improves the conductivity of metal-organic framework (MOF) but also effectively prevents the stacking of Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene nanosheets. The electrochemical properties of the proposed sensor were investigated by electrochemical techniques in detail. The L-Trp sensor exhibits a wide linear range (0.2 μM–139 μM) and a low limit of detection (0.19 μM, S/N = 3). Moreover, the proposed sensor exhibits excellent selectivity, good reproducibility and long-term stability, as well as satisfactory practical ability in real blood serum samples.

Nowadays, multifunctional electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing aerogels have attracted much attention due to intelligent and wearable features for electronic devices. However, the utilization of these aerogels at elevated temperature is still challenge. Herein, we describe a robust strategy to fabricate architecturally controllable and multifunctional Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene/aramid nanofiber (ANF)/polyimide (PI) aerogels with desirable EM wave absorption, adjustable mechanical property, and high thermal insulation . Rational structural design endows the aerogels with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.2 GHz (covering whole X-band) at 250 °C. Exploration of the temperature response over 25–250 °C reveals that the microstructure characters of the aerogels contribute substantially to the EM parameters at elevated temperature, while the in-depth temperature-dependent mechanisms of aerogel EM performance are well studied. Further, through regulating the microstructure, the MXene/ANF/PI aerogels also exhibit tunable mechanical performance (maximum compressive stress of 334.3 KPa at 40% compression) and promising thermal insulation performance (0.029 ± 0.003 W mK −1 , closing to air). These multifunctional aerogels light the way to potential application in the EM wave absorption field of flexible devices at elevated temperature.

Tuning the electrical conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) MXenes by modifying the termination groups and controlled oxidation offers great potential for photovoltaic applications. Here, in-situ-oxidized Ti3C2Tx (O–Ti3C2Tx) MXene was introduced to form a nanoscale heterojunction with SnO2 that was applied as an electron transport layer (ETL) in a MAPbI3 perovskite solar cell (PSC). Taking advantage of the transition from metallicity to semiconductivity during the oxidation process of Ti3C2Tx, the properties of Ti3C2Tx could be tuned to have its energy levels well matched with the perovskite. Besides, the insertion of O–Ti3C2Tx improved the electron mobility of the SnO2 ETL. Hence, the O–Ti3C2Tx/SnO2 heterojunction offered better electron extraction and reduced recombination between the ETL and the perovskite, thus rendering an increase of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 17.68% to 20.09% and enhancement of stability in air.

Stereolithographic 3D printing has been increasingly applied in the rapid fabrication of gels with specially-designed 3D structures. Herein, MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) is reported for the first time as a versatile photo blocker for a photo-curable aqueous ink for a newly developed stereolithography technology (Continuous Liquid Interface Production, CLIP) to fabricate hydrogels with delicate geometries. As an effective photo blocker, the MXene nanosheets can significantly suppress the light scatting in the hydrogel precursor ink during CLIP printing, giving rise to printing quality. Subsequent solvent exchange with glycerin produces an organogel, which shows excellent adhesive properties towards various surfaces, making it a promising adhesive sensor to detect different body movements. Meanwhile, the CLIP-printed organogel demonstrates promise in atmospheric water harvesting taking advantage of the natural hygroscopicity of organogel and excellent light-to-heat conversion performance with MXene nanosheets. Furthermore, the CLIP-printed hollow organogel shows higher efficiency benefiting from larger surface area of hollow organogel. The results of this work strongly suggest that MXene can serve as an effective multifunctional additive for CLIP inks, which may open up new opportunities for the 3D printing of various advanced devices.

The development of electronics proposes higher requirements for flexible, transparent, and conductive materials with high electromagnetic shielding performance in viewing windows. Flexible transparent films have been fabricated by collaborating one-dimensional silver nanowires (AgNWs) and novel two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene sheets on PET films with an external polymeric coating consisting of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS). Especially, the combination of different dimensional nanomaterials effectively establishes a conductive network that exhibits a synergistic effect on excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance, which is superior to that of pure AgNW network or Ti 3 C 2 T x network to some extent. By optimizing the AgNWs content (0.05 mg/cm 2 ) and Ti 3 C 2 T x sheets content (0.01 mg/cm 2 ), the PET/AgNW/Ti 3 C 2 T x /PVA-PSS film exhibits a transmittance of 81% and a desirable EMI SE value of 30.5 dB. In addition, the film shows outstanding anti-fogging and frost-resistant properties due to the remarkable water absorption capacity of PVA and PSS on the external surface. Considering its efficiency and simplicity, this transparent conductive film has promising applications in flexible transparent electronic devices and optical related fields.
