Ammonia (NH3) is a common air pollutant and is a biomarker for kidney disease. Therefore, the preparation of ammonia gas sensors with high sensitivity, good selectivity and low operating temperature is of great importance for health protection. Using the in situ electrostatic self-assembly approach, a chemoresistive gas sensor based on Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid material was created in this study. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, BET and other testing methods for structure, surface topography and elements. These samples were fabricated into sensors, and the gas sensing properties of the materials were investigated under different test conditions. The results show that the gas response value of the C/M-2 sensor is up to about 14.7%/100 ppm, which is three times the response value of the sensor made of pure MXene to NH3. In addition, the Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid sensors exhibit excellent repeatability, high sensitivity under low concentration (less than 5 ppm), fast response/recovery time (29 s/49 s) and long-time stability, which indicates their promising utility in the IoT field.

Designable and ultrathin covalent organic framework nanosheets (CONs) with good photoelectric activity are promising candidates for the construction of photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors for the detection of low-abundance biological substrates. However, achieving highly sensitive PEC properties by using emerging covalent organic framework nanosheets (CONs) remains a great challenge due to the polymeric nature and poor photoelectric activity of CONs. Herein, we report for the first time the preparation of novel composites and their PEC sensing properties by electrostatic self-assembly of ultrathin CONs (called TTPA-CONs) with Ti3C2Tx. The prepared TTPA-CONs/Ti3C2Txcomposites can be used as photocathodes for PEC detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) with high sensitivity, low detection limit, and good stability. This work not only expands the application of CONs but also opens new avenues for the development of efficient PEC sensing platforms.Keywords:covalent organic framework nanosheets;Ti3C2Tx;composites;photoelectrochemical biosensor;prostate-specific antigen

Two-dimensional MXene materials show great potential for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding application because of their superior electrical conductivity. However, the susceptibility to oxidation and the mechanical brittleness of MXenes greatly limit their extensive application. Herein, an ultrathin flexible polyimide (PI)/Ti3C2TX composite film with a nacre-like lamellar structure is successfully prepared using a simple vacuum filtration and thermal imidization process. Owing to the addition of PI, the composite film exhibits excellent mechanical properties with a tensile strength of 114.9 MPa and a fracture strain of 3.0%. Moreover, the nacre-like lamellar structure is conducive to multiple internal reflections, giving rise to the absorption of electromagnetic waves. The PI/Ti3C2TX composite film exhibits an outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness of 37 dB in the X-band range with an ultrathin thickness of only 15 μm. Furthermore, PI serves as an antioxidation coating, and its EMI shielding performance is maintained even when the composite film is exposed to various harsh environments. Therefore, the resulting composite film exhibits excellent EMI shielding stability and durability, which enables the potential application of high-performance EMI shielding materials against harsh environments.

Exploiting high-efficiency and durable electrocatalysts toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is crucial for the advancement of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Herein, we demonstrate the loading of platinum–palladium bimetallic nanoparticles (Pt–Pd NPs) onto poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-embellished titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets as the electrocatalyst (Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt–Pd) via a facile and rapid chemical reduction-assisted one-pot hydrothermal process. The structural and morphological analyses of Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt–Pd indicate that the three-dimensional (3D) hybrid structure formed between PEDOT and Ti3C2Tx provides a sizable active surface and more active sites, which enhances the homogeneous dispersion of the Pt–Pd NPs and facilitates mass transfer. The Schottky junctions formed between PEDOT and Pt–Pd NPs contribute to charge transfer. The electronic effects and synergistic interactions between the support and catalyst favor the electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst. The electrochemical test results reveal that the Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt–Pd catalyst has prominent electrocatalytic capability for the MOR. Compared with Ti3C2Tx/Pt–Pd and commercial Pt/C catalysts, the Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt–Pd catalyst has a larger electrochemical activity surface area (ECSA = 122 m2 g−1) and higher mass activity (MA = 1445.4 mA mg−1), as well as better CO tolerance and more reliable long-term durability (a peak current density retention of 71% after 5200 s).

Graphene oxide (GO) two-dimensional (2D) membranes with unique layer structures and tunable layer spacing have special advantages and great potential in the field of water treatment. However, GO membranes face the issues of weak anti-swelling ability as well as poor permeability. We prepared GO/Ti3C2TX2D composite membranes with 2D/2D structures by intercalating Ti3C2TXnanosheets with slightly smaller sizes into GO membranes. Ti3C2TXintercalation can effectively expand the layer spacing of GO, thereby substantially enhancing the flux of the composite membrane (2.82 to 6.35 L·m−2·h−1). Moreover, the GO/Ti3C2TXcomposite membrane exhibited a good Mg2+/Li+separation capability. For the simulated brine, the separation factor of M2 was 3.81, and the salt solution flux was as high as 5.26 L·m−2·h−1. Meanwhile, the incorporation of Ti3C2TXnanosheets significantly improved the stability of GO/Ti3C2TXmembranes in different pH environments. This study provides a unique insight into the preparation of highly permeable and ion-selective GO membranes.Keywords:graphene oxide;Ti3C2TXnanosheets;two-dimensional materials membrane;Mg2+/Li+separation

Ti3C2Tx MXene is expected to achieve infrared stealth by regulating its thermal radiation properties. In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXene films were prepared by using the acid etching method, and the effects of etchants (HCl/LiF, HF, and NH4HF2) on the film structure as well as the infrared radiation properties were systematically studied. The intercalation process used to exfoliate single/few-layer nanosheets was found to accelerate the oxidation and increase the resistance of MXene. The mechanism behind these effects on emissivity was explained in detail. Based on these findings, the most suitable preparation process for low-emissivity MXene was selected. The resulting Ti3C2Tx film (HL-f), which used HCl/LiF as an etchant for Ti3AlC2, has a high conductivity of 3119 S/cm that reflects numerous infrared waves reaching its surface while exhibiting a low emissivity of only 0.13. The colloidal solution (HL-s) made with HCl/LiF as an etchant was sprayed directly onto a PI substrate as a coating with infrared stealth capabilities, thermal stability, and Joule heating properties, reducing the emissivity from 0.87 to 0.14. This work provides guidance for improving MXene preparation methods and their applications in related fields while demonstrating the great potential of HCl/LiF-etched Ti3C2Tx MXene as a low-emissivity infrared stealth material.

In this work, a humidity-pressure multi-modal flexible sensor based on polypyrrole (PPy)/Ti 3 C 2 T x sensitive film packaged with porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is investigated by combining the sensitive structure generation mechanism of in situ polymerization to achieve the simultaneous detection of humidity and pressure, which has a sensitivity of 89,113.4 Ω/% RH in a large humidity range of 0%–97% RH, and response/recovery time of 2.5/1.9 s. The tactile pressure sensing has a high sensitivity, a fast response of 67/52 ms, and a wide detection limit. The device also has excellent performance in terms of stability and repeatability, making it promising for respiratory pattern and motion detection. This work provides a new solution to address the construction of multi-modal tactile sensors with potential applications in the fields of medical health, epidemic prevention.

Progress in nanolubricant additive is crucial to pursuit of energy saving and sustainable development. For enhancing lubrication efficiency of pentaerythritol ester (PETE) oil, we synthesized zero-dimensional/two-dimensional (0D/2D) carbon dots(CD)@Ti3C2Tx-MXene hybrid composites using a facial hydrothermal method, which gave full play to interlayer shear mechanism of Ti3C2Tx-MXene, repair effect of carbon dots and their potential synergy. The composites were added to PETE as lubricating additives, during which ultrasonic treatment was employed to enhance the dispersion stability. The frictional tests confirmed that the addition of CD@Ti3C2Tx resulted in significant reductions in friction and wear across varying temperatures owing to the ultrasmall size, interlayer sliding, and synergistic effect. The optimal concentration of 0.1 wt % of CD@Ti3C2Tx reduced friction coefficients and wear volumes of PETE by 54.5% and 57.6% at 25 °C, 53.3% and 54.3% at 100 °C, and 40.0% and 45.9% at 200 °C, respectively. A tribofilm induced by complex tribochemical reactions, mainly consisting of carbon dots, Ti3C2Tx, metal oxides, carbides, and nitrides, was generated at the contact interface, which significantly alleviated direct contact between the rubbing pair. This study explores the potential of CD@Ti3C2Tx for development of advanced lubricating materials and is expected to contribute to wider adoption of MXene-based materials in the field of tribology.

Membrane separation has been widely used in the treatment of oily wastewater, but traditional membrane materials are easily polluted, and it is difficult to overcome the trade-off effects between water flux and retention rate. Recently, 2D MXene materials with adjustive microstructures and abundant surface functional groups have been used to fabricate functional composite membranes. In this work, the CNTs-TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x composite materials were suction filtrated on a support (nylon membrane) to construct the laminated composite membrane. The layer spacing was controlled by adjusting the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and the crosslinking reaction of polydopamine (PDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) was used to modify the membranes synergistically. The CNTs-TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x (CTT) membrane had superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic characteristics as well as high efficiency in oil/water emulsion separation. CTT membranes exhibited a high separation effect ( > 99.9%) for various emulsified oils. Compared to the TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x (TT) membrane (211.62 L m −2 h −2 bar −1 ), the pure water flux of the composite membrane (CTT-1) displayed high permeation flux over 4432.13 L m −2 h −2 bar −1 . Moreover, the CTT membrane exhibits fouling resistance and stable water flux even after ten testing cycles. Therefore, CTT composite membranes with flexible layer spacing overcome the trade-off effects and have tremendous potential in practical applications.

Light weight and porous polypyrrole (PPy)/Ti 3 C 2 T x /alginate (Alg) aerogels were prepared via a sacrificial template strategy, which were used as the electrode material in symmetric supercapacitors . PPy and Ti 3 C 2 T x endow the aerogels with high specific capacitance, and the porous structure is in favor of the transfer of electrons and electrolyte ions . The aerogels display high energy density (64 μWh cm −2 ) and power density (0.97 μW cm −2 ) when used in symmetric supercapacitors. In addition, the aerogels also display high cyclic stability owing to the inhibited volume change of PPy during the repeated charge/discharge process.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a polymeric material with good biocompatibility, excellent hydrophilicity, and a large number of hydroxyl groups. However, due to its insufficient mechanical properties and poor inhibition of bacteria, it has a lack of applications in wound dressings, stent materials, and other fields. In this study, a simple method was used to prepare composite gel materials: Ag@MXene-HACC-PVA hydrogels with a double-network structure were prepared using an acetal reaction. Due to the double cross-linked interaction, the hydrogel has good mechanical properties and is resistant to swelling. The adhesion and bacterial inhibition were enhanced due to the addition of HACC. In addition, the strain sensing properties of this conductive hydrogel were stable, and the GF (specification factor) was 1.7617 at 40–90% strain. Therefore, the dual-network hydrogel with excellent sensing properties, adhesion properties, antibacterial properties, and cytocompatibility has potential applications in biomedical materials, especially as a tissue engineering repair material.

As candidates of the next generation batteries, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have drawn widespread attention owing to the advantages of environmental friendliness, low cost and ultrahigh theoretical capacity. In order to obtain superior zinc ions (Zn 2+ ) storage ability, the cathode materials with eminent electrochemical property are placed great expectations. Herein, the hierarchical 3D a-V 2 O 5 @Ti 3 C 2 T x microsphere is prepared by a simple spray drying process. In the heterostructure, the amorphous V 2 O 5 not only endows abundant active sites for Zn 2+ storage but also effectively alleviates Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets restacking. Meanwhile, the presence of conductive Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene framework significantly enhances the conductivity and reaction kinetics of the electrode material. As a result, the 3D a-V 2 O 5 @Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibits an impressive Zn 2+ storage ability, including the high reversible capacity (604 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 ), the superior rate performance and the splendid cycling stability. Furthermore, the relevant mechanism is illustrated via various characterizations. Moreover, the as-fabricated pouch ZIBs based on the 3D a-V 2 O 5 @Ti 3 C 2 T x displays a potential practical application prospect as flexible energy storage devices. Hence, this work may provide an inspiration for the rational design of high performance ZIBs cathode materials.
