Capacitive deionization has been considered as a promising solution to the challenge of freshwater shortage due to its high efficiency, low environmental footprint, and low energy consumption. However, developing advanced electrode materials to improve capacitive deionization performance remains a challenge. Herein, the hierarchical bismuthene nanosheets (Bi-ene NSs)@MXene heterostructure was successfully prepared by combining the Lewis acidic molten salt etching and the galvanic replacement reaction, which achieves the effective utilization of the molten salt etching byproducts (residual copper). The vertically aligned bismuthene nanosheets array evenly in situ grown on the surface of MXene, which not only facilitate ion and electron transport as well as offer abundant active sites but also provide strong interfacial interaction between bismuthene and MXene. Benefiting from the above advantages, the Bi-ene NSs@MXene heterostructure as a promising capacitive deionization electrode material exhibits high desalination capacity (88.2 mg/g at 1.2 V), fast desalination rate, and good long-term cycling performance. Moreover, the mechanisms involved were elaborated by systematical characterizations and density functional theory calculations. This work provides inspirations for the preparation of MXene-based heterostructures and their application for capacitive deionization.

Solar energy, as renewable energy, has paid extensive attention for solar thermal utilization due to its unique characteristics such as rich resources, easy access, clean, and pollution-free. Among them, solar thermal utilization is the most extensive one. Nanofluid-based direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs), as an important alternative method, can further improve the solar thermal efficiency. Notably, the stability of photothermal conversion materials and flowing media is critical to the performance of DASC. Herein, we first proposed novel Ti3C2Tx-IL-based nanofluids by the electrostatic interaction, which consists of functional Ti3C2Tx modified with PDA and PEI as a photothermal conversion material and ionic liquid with low viscosity as the flow medium. Ti3C2Tx-IL-based nanofluids exhibit excellent cycle stability, wide spectrum, and efficient solar energy absorption performance. Besides, Ti3C2Tx-IL-based nanofluids maintain liquid state in a range of −80 to 200 °C, and its viscosity was as low as 0.3 Pa·s at 0 °C. Moreover, the equilibrium temperature of Ti3C2Tx@PDA-IL at a very low mass fraction of 0.04% reached 73.9 °C under 1 Sun, indicating an excellent photothermal conversion performance. Furthermore, the application of nanofluids in photosensitive inks has been preliminarily explored, which is expected to play a role in the fields of injectable biomedical materials and photo/electric double-generation thermal and hydrophobic anti ice coatings.

Thermal bimorph actuators have important applications in artificial muscles, switches, and microsensors for robotics and biomimetic devices. To broaden the adaptability of environments, it is essential to fabricate thermal actuators with multiple stimulus responses, including electricity, near-infrared (NIR) light, and ultraviolet (UV) light, with fast and large deformations . Herein, a thermal actuator with programmable stimuli response was designed by combining silver nanowires (AgNWs) with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene . Due to the synergistic effect of AgNWs with high plasmonic properties and electrical conductivity as well as Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene with good flexibility and photothermal properties, the obtained actuator can roll up for 2200° at a low driving voltage (2 V) and shows a fast response speed of 0.4 s for a bending angle of 360° under NIR light. More remarkably, the obtained thermal actuator can curl 360° in 1.2s under UV light which has never been reported before. We believe that such thermal actuators are attractive for a wide range of innovative technologies involving soft-bodied robots, intelligent grippers, bionic worms, and information cryptography.

Aerogels, especially MXene aerogels, are an ideal multifunctional platform for developing efficient photocatalysts for CO 2 reduction because they are featured by abundant catalytic sites, high electrical conductivity, high gas absorption ability and self-supported structure. However, the pristine MXene aerogel has almost no ability to utilize light, which requires additional photosensitizers to assist it in achieving efficient light harvesting. Herein, we immobilized colloidal CsPbBr 3 nanocrystals (NCs) onto the self-supported Ti 3 C 2 T x (where T x represents surface terminations such as fluorine, oxygen, and hydroxyl groups) MXene aerogels for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The resultant CsPbBr 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene aerogels exhibit a remarkable photocatalytic activity toward CO 2 reduction with total electron consumption rate of 112.6 μmol g -1 h - 1 , which is 6.6-fold higher than that of the pristine CsPbBr 3 NC powders. The improvement of the photocatalytic performance is presumably attributed to the strong light absorption, effective charge separation and CO 2 adsorption in the CsPbBr 3 /Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene aerogels. This work presents an effective perovskite-based photocatalyst in aerogel form and opens a new avenue for their solar-to-fuel conversions.

The assembly of 2D Ti3C2Tx nanosheets into 3D structures with orderable structure has great importance for their use as catalyst carriers. However, Ti3C2Tx nanosheets are prone to accumulate in aqueous solutions owing to the strong van der Waals forces between Ti3C2Tx nanosheet layers, degrading their chemical properties. Carbon aerogel (Ti3C2Tx/G/Co) with a 3D porous structure and cobalt as the active site was prepared by a simple co-assembly–freeze–drying–high-temperature carbonization method for application in catalysis of ammonium perchlorate.

An optimized acetone gas sensor based on Ti 3 C 2 / α -Fe 2 O 3 (TF) composite materials was synthesized using microwave and etching methods. The structures, morphology and composition of the TF composites were characterized via XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM. The crystal of α -Fe 2 O 3 porous nanorods is hexagonal, and the α -Fe 2 O 3 nanoclusters formed from α -Fe 2 O 3 nanorods were adhered adequately on the lamellar Ti 3 C 2 MXene in the TF composite. The specific surface area and surface defects of the TF composites increased compared with pure α -Fe 2 O 3 nanocluster material, thus exposing a large number of gas adsorption sites. Furthermore, the excellent electrical conductivity and high free charges transfer ability of Ti 3 C 2 MXene provided more electrons for the gas-sensitive reaction and enhanced the transmission capacity of gas-sensitive reaction electrical signal, respectively. The Schottky barriers were formed at the interface of α -Fe 2 O 3 and Ti 3 C 2 MXene increasing the resistance of TF gas sensor in air, which is beneficial to the response of TF gas sensor. So, the gas-sensitive performance of TF gas sensor to acetone was greatly improved. The response of TF gas sensor to 100 ppm acetone was up to 23.38, which was nearly 2.3 times higher than pure α -Fe 2 O 3 gas sensor. The lower detection limit of TF gas sensor could be as low as 1 ppm. In addition, the TF gas sensor had excellent selectivity, long-term repeatability and stability for acetone.

Benefiting from the strongly π-π interactions between MXene nanosheets and carbon nanotube, the assembled MXene/carbon nanotube composite aerogel exhibits abundant pore structures, superior conductivity, and good mechanical properties. The electrical conductivity of MXene/carbon nanotube aerogel is up to 1600 S m −1 . The MXene/carbon nanotube aerogel can be subjected to 70% compressive strain and retain 85% initial strain over 1000 compress-release cycles. The as-prepared all-solid-state supercapacitor with MXene/carbon nanotube aerogel shows outstanding electrochemical performance (410.7 mF cm −2 at the current density of 0.8 mA cm −2 ). The supercapacitor is flexible and can be bent from 0 to 90° as the cyclic voltammetry curves are almost consistent. Furthermore, the LED can be lighted by four devices in series.

Human identification is crucial in many fields. However, it is challenging to achieve instant and accurate human identification through body odors. In this work, an in-situ growth strategy was utilized to establish a gas-sensitive nanocomposite material library with MXene and perovskite . A plug-and-play bionic sensor array module based on the material library was manufactured and assembled into an instant detection platform (IDP). Machine learning (ML) algorithms were introduced to assist IDP in identifying human odors. Due to its unique Schottky Barrier structure, the material library exhibited higher performance and responded 37 % ∼ 70 % higher than initial MXene. IDP was applied to detect the odors of volunteers’ breaths and clothes with an accuracy rate of 69.2 % and 51.1 %, respectively, with the assistance of ML. In all, an instant, convenient, and accurate human identification prototype machine was fabricated, providing a general solution for more complex application scenarios.

MXenes, a new family of 2D nanostructured materials , have been widely studied in the field of artificial photosynthesis due to their outstanding physicochemical properties. In this work, a series of 2,4-bis[4-( N , N -dibutylamino)phenyl] squaraine ( SQ ) derivatives with different number of hydroxyl groups were hybridized with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets , and the organic–inorganic hybrid photocatalysts were applied for water-splitting hydrogen evolution . The mass ratios of SQ @Ti 3 C 2 T x were optimized to 4 wt% for each SQ , and the best hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) rate of 28.6 μmol h −1 g −1 was achieved by SQ-3 with four OH groups. The photocatalytic ability of the hybrid comes from the outstanding light harvesting of SQ dye, sufficient active sites of Ti 3 C 2 T x , and efficient separation and transfer of the photogenerated charges via heterojunction between SQ aggregates and Ti 3 C 2 T x . This work firstly demonstrates an example of SQ sensitizer combined with MXene for hydrogen generation, which provides a new insight to further explore the MXene-based hybrid nanomaterials for water splitting hydrogen evolution.

The application of photothermal materials in seawater desalination, wastewater treatment have been widely studied, however, there are relatively few studies that combine photothermal effects and solar-driven photocatalysis and exhibit efficient solar-driven water evaporation performance and excellent photocatalytic ability. Form the perspective of practical application, it is of great significance to combine photothermal effect with solar-driven photocatalysis to develop environment-friendly evaporator with low cost, simple preparation process and ability of seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and photodegradation of organic dyes. In this paper, a novel multifunctional MXene/polypyrrole (PPy) coated melamine foam (MF) named as MF-MXene/PPy was successfully prepared by simple impregnation and in-situ polymerization. The MF-MXene/PPy has rich porosity (89.13 %), abundant water molecule transport channels, excellent light absorption capacity (about 94 %), low thermal conductivity (0.1047 W m −1 K −1 ), and exhibits excellent performance in solar desalination, wastewater purification and photodegradation of organic dyes. Under 1 kW m −2 illuminate, the solar energy conversion rate and efficiency of MF-MXene/PPy reaches up to 1.5174 kg m -2 h −1 and 91.24 %. Moreover, due to the regular pore size of MF-MXene/PPy, good salinity tolerance was shown even after continuous evaporation in 20 wt% NaCl for 8 h. After continuous evaporation in 70 mL of 20 wt% NaCl for 8 h, the amount of salt collected could reach 0.2 g. In addition, MF-MXene/PPy also possessed excellent visible light degradation ability for organic dyes, and the degradation rate of methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RHB) and methyl orange (MO) were 92.38 %, 88.92 % and 91.75 %, respectively. As a fundamental research, this research will open a novel way to the development of new evaporator.

Bone defects are a common problem that poses a serious threat to human health, causing mortality and disability worldwide. Photothermal therapy has become a promising strategy to address this problem by inducing osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through the application of mild heat stress. To improve the current photothermal therapy for bone regeneration, the objective of this study was to develop a new photothermal therapeutic agent with improved osteogenic activity and photothermal properties. To achieve this objective, an MXene/nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) nanocomposite was synthesised and characterised. The proposed nanocomposite demonstrated excellent photothermal properties under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. This nanocomposite was found to be biocompatible and promoted cell proliferation and adhesion, making it a suitable candidate for photothermal therapy. The results of this study suggest that the MXene/nHA nanocomposite can promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, when exposed to 808 nm NIR irradiation, the MXene/nHA nanocomposite generates mild thermal stimulation via photothermal conversion, thereby enhancing its osteo-inductive potential. In summary, this study presents a novel strategy for the application of photothermal therapy in bone regeneration.
