2D MXenes are attractive for energy storage applications because of their high electronic conductivity. However, it is still highly challenging for improving the sluggish sodium (Na)-ion transport kinetics within the MXenes interlayers. Herein, a novel nitrogen-doped Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was synthesized by introducing the in situ polymeric sodium dicyanamide (Na-dca) to tune the complex terminations and then utilized as intercalation-type pseudocapacitive anode of Na-ion capacitors (NICs). The Na-dca can intercalate into the interlayers of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets and simultaneously form sodium tricyanomelaminate (Na 3 TCM) by the catalyst-free trimerization. The as-prepared Ti 3 C 2 T x /Na 3 TCM exhibits a high N-doping of 5.6 at.% in the form of strong Ti–N bonding and stabilized triazine ring structure. Consequently, coupling Ti 3 C 2 T x /Na 3 TCM anode with different mass of activated carbon cathodes, the asymmetric MXene//carbon NICs are assembled. It is able to deliver high energy density (97.6 Wh kg −1 ), high power output (16.5 kW kg −1 ), and excellent cycling stability (≈ 82.6% capacitance retention after 8000 cycles).

Background Heavy metal pollution poses a serious threat to the ecological environment. Mercury ion (Hg 2+ ) is a class of highly toxic heavy metal ions, which is bioaccumulative, difficult to breakdown, and has a significant affinity with sulfur and thiol-containing proteins, which seriously affects environmental safety and human health. Nanozyme-based sensing methods are expected to be used to detect toxic heavy metal ions. However, the application of precious metal nanozymes to develop portable sensors with simplicity, high stability, and high sensitivity has not been explored to a large extent. Results In this paper, based on MXene's unique adsorption capacity for certain precious metal ions, PtNPs/Ti 3 C 2 T X NR composites were successfully prepared by in-situ growth of Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene nanoribbons (Ti 3 C 2 T X NR) using the hydrothermal technique. Experimental data revealed PtNPs/Ti 3 C 2 T X NR exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity, attributed to the synergistic effect of well-dispersed ultrasmall PtNPs and electron transfer effect. Hg 2+ can significantly inhibit enzyme-like activity of PtNPs/Ti 3 C 2 T X NR due to specific capture and partial in-situ reduction of PtNPs, so a colorimetric sensor was constructed for ultra-trace detection of Hg 2+ with a linear range of 0.2 nM and 400 nM. Furthermore, using the portable detecting capabilities of smartphones and hydrogel, a smartphone-assisted hydrogel sensing platform of Hg 2+ was constructed. Notably, the two-mode sensing platforms exhibited outstanding detection performance with LOD values as low as 15 pM (colorimetric) and 26 pM (hydrogel), respectively, superior to recently reported nanozyme-based Hg 2+ sensors. Significance Compared with other methods, the PtNPs/Ti 3 C 2 T X NR-based dual-mode sensor designed in this paper has superior sensitivity, high selectivity, simple operation and portability. In particular, the dual-output sensing strategy enables self-confirmation of detection results, greatly improving the reliability of the sensor, and is expected to be used for the on-site determination of trace mercury ions.

Moisture-enabled electricity generator (MEG) technology converts energy from the environment into green electricity by exploiting the interaction between atmospheric moisture and hydrophilic materials and has the advantages of a simple device structure, small geographical and temporal constraints, and environmental friendliness; therefore, it has great application value in serving as a power source for portable electronic devices. However, the high output performance of most MEG devices is dependent on high ambient relative humidity (RH), and current MEG technologies tend to be poorly flexible and lack wearability, which severely pose a barrier to their practical utilization. Here, we have developed a high-performance bilayer MEG with exceptional environmental adaptability and stretchability. By rationally combining Ti3C2Tx MXene-loaded cotton knitted fabrics (MC) and a stretchable double-network ionic hydrogel (IH) to form the MXene/cotton-ionic hydrogel MEG (MCIH-MEG), the MCIH-MEG with 230% stretchable capacity can continuously provide an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.5 V and a short-circuit current (Isc) of 50 μA, which stem from the continuous water evaporation within the device and fast capillary water flow on MXene nanosheets, as well as redox reactions at the electrodes, which can achieve good electrical performance across a wide range of temperatures (0–80 °C) and RH levels (20–95%). Due to its flexibility, stable electrical output, and sensitivity to external stimuli, MCIH-MEG can be employed in the fabrication of self-powered sensors to detect simple weight changes or even complex gesture changes and in the construction of self-powered smart masks for respiratory monitoring.

Foodborne pathogenic bacteria pose severe threats to human health and often coexist within the same environment. Thus, developing a sensitive and reliable method for their simultaneous detection is critically important. In this study, we first synthesized Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanoribbons/copper nanoparticles (Ti 3 C 2 T x NR/Cu) via a simple self-reduction method to modify electrodes for signal amplification. Concurrently, we constructed UiO-66 MOFs encapsulated with distinct probes and gated by target-specific aptamers (Apts) as bio-gatekeepers. We then proposed an innovative electrochemical strategy for the simultaneous detection of two model pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Listeria monocytogenes (LM). The Ti 3 C 2 T x NR/Cu nanohybrid synergistically enhanced the current signals of the probes by leveraging the combined advantages of Ti 3 C 2 T x NR and Cu nanoparticles. For S. aureus detection, methylene blue (MB) and S. aureus -specific aptamer (S-Apt) were employed as the probe and bio-gatekeeper, respectively, while ferrocene (Fc) and LM-specific aptamer (L-Apt) were used for LM. Upon target binding, the Apts dissociated from the UiO-66 MOFs, releasing the encapsulated probes (MB or Fc). The resulting current signals, measured at the Ti 3 C 2 T x NR/Cu electrode, enabled the quantitative and simultaneous detection of both pathogens. This platform's modular design allows easy adaptation for detecting other bacteria by simply replacing the aptamers, offering broad potential applications in controlling food safety.

The exploitation of from-stable phase change materials (PCMs) with superior energy storage capacity and excellent solar–thermal conversion performance is crucial for the efficient exploitation of solar energy. Herein, 2D-layered polymerized dopamine-decorated Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (P-MXene) with superior photothermal effects and excellent oxidation stability were synthesized from Ti3AlC2 particles by the selective etching and self-polymerization of dopamine. Then, novel biomass-derived PCM composites, eMPCMs, were fabricated by impregnating erythritol into P-MXene/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) hybrid aerogels. The porous and interconnected 3D aerogels adequately support erythritol and resist liquid leakage during thermal storage. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the eMPCMs based on P-MXene/CNF aerogels exhibited an extremely high thermal storage density (325.4–330.6 J/g) and excellent PCM loading capacity (up to 1929%). The introduction of P-MXene nanosheets into eMPCMs significantly increased the solar–thermal conversion and storage efficiency, solar–thermal–electricity conversion capacity, and thermal conductivity of the synthesized PCM composites. Moreover, the P-MXene/CNF hybrid aerogel-based PCM composites possessed excellent long-term thermal reliability and thermostability. Hence, the synthesized eMPCMs reveal tremendous potential for efficient solar–thermal storage fields.

The potential of two-dimensional layered MXenes in electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption needs further development. Herein, we carried out the in situ growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene at ultra-low temperature via chemical vapor deposition . The obtained CNTs exhibited a bamboo-like structure and were accompanied by helical carbon nanofibers . The ultra-low temperature solved the problem that the high temperature required in the traditional CNT growth process would destroy the structural integrity of MXene. The lush CNT forest cross-linked the MXene layers, transforming the two-dimensional layered structure into a three-dimensional conductive network, providing abundant conductive channels for carriers, optimizing the impedance matching of the CNT/MXene hybrid, and resulting in a significant dielectric loss. The as-prepared CNT/MXene hybrid exhibited a minimal reflection loss of −52.56 dB (99.9994% EMW absorption) in the X-band. This work proposes a new idea to enhance the EMW absorption properties of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and fabricate high-performance MXene-based EMW absorbers.

The development of form-stable phase-change material (PCM) with solar-thermal harvest, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and flame-retardancy is crucial for efficient building energy management and conservation. Herein, novel Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/delignified wood supported form-stable phase-change composites (PMPCMs) with superior solar-thermal conversion efficiency, highly EMI shielding effects, and excellent flame-retardancy were fabricated by alkaline boiling delignification , ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) and MXene deposition, and melted n -octadecane impregnation. Benefiting from the powerful surface tension and capillary force of the wood-based support materials, PMPCMs can effectively encapsulate the melted n -alkane molecules and inhibit their leakage. The differential scanning calorimetry results showed that PMPCMs possessed superior n -octadecane encapsulation yield and high thermal energy storage density (166.9–191.6 J/g). Decorating delignified wood by MXene significantly improved the solar-thermal storage efficiency (up to 88.4 %) and EMI shielding performance of PMPCMs. The average EMI shielding effectiveness of PMPCM-10 was enhanced to 34.12 dB in X-band frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz. Moreover, with the introduction of the flame-retardant ADP, the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) of PMPCMs decreased noticeably, demonstrating the enhanced flame retardancy of delignified wood supported phase-change composites. In summary, PMPCMs exhibited superior application prospects in building energy management and electromagnetic shielding fields.

With the demand for further miniaturization and higher frequency operation of electronic devices, polymer films with high thermal conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) are urgently required. Herein, polyimide (PI)/boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) aerogels with oriented porous structure are fabricated by unidirectional-freezing and freeze-drying methods. Subsequently, hierarchical PI/BNNS/Ti 3 C 2 T x composite films with consecutively electrically and thermally conductive networks are successfully prepared via a unidirectional PI/BNNS aerogels-assisted immersion and hot-pressing strategy. Owing to the three-dimensional conductive dual networks of BNNS and Ti 3 C 2 T x , the composite film exhibits excellent thermal conductivity with the maximum in-plane value of 4.73 W/(m·K), increased by 456 % compared to pure PI film. Moreover, the conductive network of Ti 3 C 2 T x is conducive to the excellent EMI shielding performance, endowing the PI/BNNS/Ti 3 C 2 T x composite film with an outstanding EMI SE value of 49.2 dB at 8.2 GHz with a low MXene content of 6 wt% and thickness of 300 μm. Furthermore, the composite film shows the superior Joule heating performance with fast thermal response and sufficient reliability. Therefore, the resulting composite film exhibits excellent thermal conductive, EMI shielding and Joule heating performance, which enables the potential application of multifunctional composites for thermal management and EMI shielding.

Cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) has been envisioned as a promising photocathode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water reduction due to its abundance, scalability and nontoxicity. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) Cu 2 O nanorods (NRs) photocathode is prepared by in-situ growing Cu 2 O NRs on a copper foam substrate. The bare 3D Cu 2 O NRs photocathode exhibits a high photocurrent density of −4.02 mA cm −2 at 0 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) under AM 1.5 G simulated sunlight. The oxygen vacancies enriched Ti 3 C 2 T X flakes are obtained by reducing Ti 3 C 2 T X with H 2 /Ar gas (denoted as H:Ti 3 C 2 T X ). The H:Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O, Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O as well as Au/Cu 2 O composite photocathodes are fabricated through a facile dip-coating method. The H:Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O and Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O yield a photocurrent density of −5.41 and −4.45 mA cm −2 respectively, which is higher than the bare Cu 2 O and Au/Cu 2 O (−4.31 mA cm −2 ). The results suggest that the Ti 3 C 2 T X is more effective than noble metal Au for improving the PEC performance of Cu 2 O photocathode. The superior performance of H:Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O is attributed to enriched oxygen vacancies in the H:Ti 3 C 2 T X which can enhance the conductivity, light-harvesting efficiency and charge-transfer ability of fabricated photocathode. A PEC tandem cell with H:Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O as the photocathode and BiVO 4 as the photoanode is designed for unassisted solar water splitting. Due to the high porosity and optical transmittance of the 3D copper foam substrate, we illuminate the cell from the H:Ti 3 C 2 T X /Cu 2 O side rather than from the BiVO 4 side in usual fashion. The present configuration exhibits a 1.6 times higher solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency of 0.55% than the conventional design with a STH conversion efficiency of 0.34%. The enhanced STH conversion efficiency in our configuration is due to the higher light-harvesting efficiency.

A reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate composed of two-dimensional (2D) MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets and gold nanorods (AuNRs) is designed and fabricated for sensitive detection of organic pollutants. The AuNRs are uniformly distributed on the surface of the 2D MXene nanosheets because of the strong electrostatic interactions, forming abundant SERS hot spots. The MXene/AuNR SERS substrate exhibits high sensitivity and excellent reproducibility in the determination of common organic dyes such as rhodamine 6G, crystal violet, and malachite green. The detection limits are 1 × 10–12, 1 × 10–12, and 1 × 10–10 M, and relative standard deviations determined from 13 areas on each sample are 18.1, 10.1, and 15.6%, respectively. In the determination of more complex organic pesticides and pollutants, the substrate also shows excellent sensitivity and quantitative detection, and the detection limits for thiram and diquat of 1 × 10–10 and 1 × 10–8 M, respectively, are much lower than the contaminant levels stipulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The MXene/AuNR composite constitutes an efficient SERS platform for reliable and high-sensitivity environmental analysis and food safety monitoring.

Exploiting Zn metal-free anode materials would be an effective strategy to resolve the problems of Zn metal dendrites that severely hinder the development of Zn ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the study of Zn metal-free anode materials is still in their infancy, and more importantly, the low energy density severely limits their practical implementations. Herein, a novel (NH 4 ) 2 V 10 O 25 · 8H 2 O@Ti 3 C 2 T x (NHVO@Ti 3 C 2 T x ) film anode is proposed and investigated for constructing “rocking-chair” ZIBs. The NHVO@Ti 3 C 2 T x electrode shows a capacity of 514.7 mAh g −1 and presents low potential which is 0.59 V (vs Zn 2+ /Zn) at 0.1 A g −1 . The introduction of Ti 3 C 2 T x not only affords an interconnected conductive network, but also stabilizes the NHVO nanobelts structure for a long cycle life (84.2% retention at 5.0 A g −1 over 6000 cycles). As a proof-of-concept, a zinc metal-free full battery is successfully demonstrated, which delivers the highest capacity of 131.7 mAh g −1 (mass containing anodic and cathodic) and energy density of 97.1 Wh kg −1 compared to all reported aqueous “rocking-chair” ZIBs. Furthermore, a long cycling span of 6000 cycles is obtained with capacity retention reaching up to 92.1%, which is impressive. This work is expected to provide new moment toward V-based materials for “rocking-chair” ZIBs.

Currently, traditional hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) catalysts have various shortcomings such as low activity levels and vulnerability to deactivation. Therefore, a series of MXene-supported Ni-M (M = Pd, Pt, Ru) bimetallic catalysts were designed and prepared. The above catalysts were also comprehensively characterized using XRD, BET, H 2 -TPR, NH 3 -TPD, XPS, SEM and TEM methods. Moreover, due to the largest particular specific surface area, moderate amount of acid sites and the strongest three-electron transfer channels between support and active metals of Ni-Pd/MXene catalyst, it exhibited the superior catalytic performance to achieve 100 % guaiacol conversion and 35.15 % highest overall yields of HDO products (Y HDO ) under the optimal reaction conditions (at 340 °C for 8 h, utilizing in-situ hydrogen source: formic acid). Furthermore, a detailed discussion on the main reaction pathways and mechanism of guaiacol HDO catalyzed by Ni-Pd/MXene was provided, an unique bimetallic synergistic “relay catalytic” theory has been proposed. Kinetic studies revealed that phenol, one of the main HDO products, is primarily generated via guaiacol demethoxylation, while catechol dehydroxylation to phenol acts as the rate-determining step. This work introduces a new strategy for the development of HDO catalysts.
