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.

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.

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.

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.

Multifunctional composite catalysts show significant potential for enhancing the thermal decomposition and combustion of energetic materials. However, their synergistic mechanisms remain unclear. In this work, we prepared a 3D macroporous (3DM) CuO/ZnO catalyst via PMMA template calcination and combined it with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene through electrostatic assembly, to form a 3DM CuO/ZnO-Ti 3 C 2 T x heterogeneous catalyst with uniform morphology and high conductivity. Results show that 3DM CuO/ZnO-Ti 3 C 2 T x has a good catalytic effect on TKX-50, which can advance the decomposition peak from 246 to 208 ℃, increase the heat release from 730 to 1106 J/g and boost combustion time from 560 to 790 ms, improve the flame temperature from 773 to 1109 ℃. By combining LAMMPS, materials studio software and TG-MS-IR analysis, the catalytic mechanism of 3DM material on the thermal decomposition of TKX-50 was deeply explored. 3DM materials can adsorb hydroxylamine molecule, accelerate the H + transfer process, achieve rapid exchange of H and OH, and realize the rapid and concentrated release of gas, thereby promoting the decomposition process of TKX-50. Consequently, the construction of composite catalysts with synergy can start from the perspective of forming more heterostructures, which provides better theoretical support for future research on composite catalysts.

Developing the multi-functional membranes including oil/water emulsion separation and removal of hazardous organic pollutants is essential to the purification of the complicated wastewater. However, it remains a daunting challenge to combine these intended functions while maintaining high separation efficiency. Herein, we developed a new 2D lamellar MXene/poly (arylene ether nitrile) (PEN) fibrous composite membrane through the self-assembly of TiO 2 nanoparticles intercalated MXene nanosheets onto the porous PEN nanofibrous mats and bioinspired polydopamine triggered chemical-crosslinking with polyethyleneimine (PEI). Such nano-intercalation and mussel-inspired crosslinking could effectively regulate the interlayer spacing of the MXene nanosheet skin layer and surface wettability of the composite membrane, which also further contributed to the fast separation and unique bifunctional feature. It was found that the MXene@TiO 2 /PEN fibrous composite membrane exhibited low oil-adhesion and superhydrophilic (WCA = 0°)/underwater superoleophobic (UOCA > 155°) properties, which could efficiently separate various surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions under low pressure of 0.04 MPa while keeping good stability (Under 1 M HCl and 2 M NaOH solutions) and recyclability. Interestingly, the fibrous composite membrane achieved favorable permeation flux of 908–1003 Lm −2 h −1 (2270–2507.5 Lm −2 h −1 bar −1 ) in comparison to other reported MXene based multifunctional composite membranes. Moreover, owing to the synergistic effect of MXene nanosheets and TiO 2 nanoparticles, the MXene@TiO 2 /PEN membrane showed excellent photocatalytic degradation performance for various dyes under visible light, i.e. the photocatalytic degradation efficiency for 15 ppm MB, MO, CV, and MeB solutions achieved 92.31%, 93.50%, 98.06%, and 99.30% within 60 min, respectively. Such 2D MXene bio-functional composite membranes with outstanding oil/water emulsions separation and photocatalytic degradation of dyes pave an avenue for treating complicated oily wastewater.

Unstable interlayer spacing of lamellar membranes would be rapidly compressed and narrowed under normal high flowrates and concentration polarization effect contributes to reduced permeation and fouling resistance. Herein, a large permeability PEG/MXene@MOF membrane with stable interlayer spacing and superior antifouling property was created via facile interface self-assembly strategy. Metal-organic framework ( MOF , UiO-66-NH 2 ) nanoparticles as supports constructed an intercalation-induced structure with hierarchical Ti 3 C 2 T x (MXene) nanosheets , which effectively regulated the interlayer spacing and improved permeability. Hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) further enhanced the stability of intercalation structure via hydrogen bonding , so that the PEG/MXene@MOF membrane demonstrated excellent swelling resistance with an average layer spacing expansion of only 0.05 nm even after immersion in water for 8 days. Moreover, MOF particles increased the lamellar roughness and interlayer water retention capacity, resulting in the PEG/MXene@MOF membrane with remarkable separation selectivity and powerful fouling resistance (UWOCA >156°, UWOSA <5.5°). Regarding the purification of oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by surfactants , the PEG/MXene@MOF membrane exhibited extremely stable high permeability (1246 ± 12 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) and excellent efficiency (>99.7 %), even during continuous separation of high-viscosity crude oil emulsions for 60 min. In addition, the PEG/MXene@MOF membrane also exhibited superior chemical durability and mechanical robustness in strong-corrosiveness and high-salty environments (72 h), ultrasonic treatments (120 min), bending experiments (100 times) and abrasion tests (20 times). Therefore, this work provided a promising strategy to construct highly permeable membrane with stable interlayer spacing and efficient fouling resistance for practical oily wastewater purification.
