To improve Li storage capacity and the structural stability of Ti3C2MXene-based electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a facile strategy is developed to construct three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical porous Ti3C2/bimetal-organic framework (NiCo-MOF) nanoarchitectures as anodes for high-performance LIBs. 2D Ti3C2nanosheets are coupled with NiCo-MOF nanoflakes induced by hydrogen bonds to form 3D Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF composite films through vacuum-assisted filtration technology. The morphology and electrochemical properties of Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF are influenced by the mass ratio of MOF to Ti3C2. Owing to the interconnected porous structures with a high specific surface area, rapid charge transfer process, and Li+diffusion rate, the Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF-0.4 electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 402 mAh g−1at 0.1 A g−1after 300 cycles; excellent rate performance (256 mAh g−1at 1 A g−1); and long-term stability with a capacity retention of 85.7% even after 400 cycles at a high current density, much higher than pristine Ti3C2MXene. The results highlight that Ti3C2/NiCo-MOF have great potential in the development of high-performance energy storage devices.

Transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides , and nitrides (MXene) as an emerging two-dimensional semiconductor has open an ideal pathway for fabricating various TiO 2 -based functional materials . In this work, we demonstrate a simple and one-step heat treatment for the fabrication of Ti 3 C 2 MXene-derived carbon-doped TiO 2 /Fe 2 O 3 composite for superior lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As an anode, the as-fabricated composite delivers an excellent lithium-ion storage of 538 mA h/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g and superior rate performance of 152.6 mA h/g at a higher current density of 5 A/g, which is 6 times higher than that of C-doped TiO 2 electrode. In addition, a remarkable cyclic stability with 88.46 % capacity retention is also obtained for the composite anode at a current density of 1 A/g after 1000 cycles. Based on various characterizations, the greatly enhanced electrochemical performance can be attributed to the synergistic effects of carbon doping, layered structures of TiO 2 , and the anchoring of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles , which effectively promote the charge transport kinetics. This study will broaden the Ti 3 C 2 MXene application in LIBs and meanwhile provide an alternative method for synthesizing more efficient anode materials .

In-situ construction of heterojunction photocatalyst on two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 MXene substrate has been proved to be a feasible method to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. However, the limited interlayer spacing of 2D Ti 3 C 2 hinders the in-situ growth of TiO 2 photocatalyst. Herein, the intercalation strategy was developed in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) method to achieve interlayer expansion of Ti 3 C 2 and improve Ti 3 C 2 -derived photocatalyst performance. Because of the intercalation of choline cations, the DESs method synthesized Ti 3 C 2 (Ti 3 C 2 -DES) had the larger c -lattice parameter than that of traditional HF method synthesized Ti 3 C 2 (Ti 3 C 2 -HF). The interlayer space of Ti 3 C 2 -DES could be intercalated with more water molecule for oxidization of the Ti atoms, which remarkably promoted the in-situ growth of TiO 2 crystals. The formed heterojunction between (001) and (101) facets enhanced carriers separation. The Ti 3 C 2 substrate with excellent conductivity further promoted carriers transfer. As a result, Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 photocatalyst exhibited superior perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) removal performance (almost 100% removal efficiency and 49% defluorination efficiency within 16 h) compared with the traditional Ti 3 C 2 -HF/TiO 2 (22% removal efficiency and 12% defluorination efficiency within 16 h). This study provides a feasible strategy for enhancing photocatalytic degradation of PFOA by Ti 3 C 2 MXene-derived heterojunction photocatalyst.

Electrochemical immunoassays are commonly used to detect biomarkers and Ti 3 C 2 MXene anchored CuAu-LDH two-dimensional hydroxide heterojunctions for dual-mode electrochemical immunosensors were fabricated in this work. Layered double hydroxides have a large surface area, high chemical stability, tunable metal composition and interchangeable anions, however, the insulating nature of LDH further limits its catalytic performance. For this reason, Ti 3 C 2 Mxenes were introduced to improve this problem. 2D layers of Ti 3 C 2 Mxenes with large specific surface area and excellent conductivity have been well proven and widely used. And the surface of Ti 3 C 2 Mxenes (due to the presence of abundant surface functional groups), will facilitate the anchoring of metal ions and the nucleation of LDH. In addition, its excellent electrical conductivity will facilitate the electron transfer between Cu 2+ and Cu + . The immunosensor not only showed a heavy square wave voltammetry (SWV) signal. It also exhibited high electrocatalytic activity for H 2 O 2 redox reactions and improves the sensitivity of the Ampere Current (i-t) detection. The CEA immunosensor developed in this study showed a wide linear response (0.0001–80 ng/mL) and the lowest detection limits (SWV: 33.6 fg/mL and i-t: 45.4 fg/mL S/N = 3). The results confirmed the excellent analytical capability of the immunosensor.

Dopamine is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the human body, and its sensitive detection and quantification are important for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of related neurological diseases. Herein, a highly-sensitive dopamine electrochemical sensor has been constructed based on the two-dimensional transition metal carbide Ti 3 C 2 MXene, graphitized multi-walled carbon nanotubes and ZnO nanospheres. Dopamine presents a standard reversible redox reaction on the sensor, and density flooding theory has been successfully applied to reveal the redox process of dopamine. Under optimal experimental conditions, the sensor exhibits a wide linear range (0.01–30 μM), low limit of detection (3.2 nM) and high sensitivity (16 A/M). Furthermore, the sensor has excellent stability and anti-interference ability, satisfactory accuracy in human serum samples, which can be used for the detection of actual samples. This work has provided a novel method for detecting dopamine and a new idea for the application of MXene and metal oxide semiconductor in electrochemical sensors.

Increasing the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and preventing the hydrogen back oxidation are two key challenges in photocatalytic hydrogen production. Herein, we report a promising PtO@Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 photocatalyst to overcome these two challenges by in-situ growing TiO 2 nanosheets on Ti 3 C 2 MXene (to improve charge separation) and depositing PtO nanodots (to diminish hydrogen back reaction) for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production. Within this design principle, the photogenerated electrons and holes in the PtO@Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 composites flow in opposite direction into PtO and Ti 3 C 2 respectively, resulting in effective separation of the photogenerated electrons and holes. Beyond, the higher oxidation state of PtO nanodots also largely suppresses the undesirable hydrogen back oxidation reaction. Thereby the PtO@Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 composite demonstrates remarkable hydrogen production efficiency. Our work here indicates that rational design of dual co-catalysts could not only promote the separation of photogenerated carriers for enhanced hydrogen production, but also inhibit the reverse reaction of hydrogen production.

Copolymers of polyimide and polyuria with different fractions were synthesized. Furthermore, Ti 3 C 2 MXene two-dimensional material was obtained by etching Ti 3 AlC 2 with hydrofluoric acid. It was demonstrated that the copolymers displayed outstanding tribological performance than that of pure polymers and the as-synthesized Ti 3 C 2 MXene were endowed with outstanding dispersion in above copolymer. Importantly, when used as a solid lubricant additive at different temperatures, the two-dimensional material showed excellent friction reducing and antiwear properties. That is, blending even a small fraction of Ti 3 C 2 MXene into the copolymer dramatically reduced the friction and wear of the friction pair. SEM mappings and XPS analyses revealed that a continuous tribofilm consisting of a high fraction of tribo-chemical products and TiO 2 was established on the rubbed surfaces, which were significant in improving the lubrication performance at different temperatures.

Photogenerated charge separation is a challenging step in semiconductor-based photosynthesis. Though numerous efforts have been devoted to developing multi-component photocatalyst heterostructures for improving charge separation efficiency, the short distance between electrons and holes-aggregated regions still leads to undesirable charge recombination. Herein, a facile and commercial in-situ synthesis method was designed to directly prepare a three-component Au–carbon–TiO 2 photocatalyst from Ti 3 C 2 MXene , air, CO 2 , and HAuCl 4 , in which the carbon layer bridged Au and TiO 2 nanoparticles for stable and efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production. Kelvin probe measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that a multi-interfacial charge transmission network was successfully constructed to achieve a directional and long-distance spatial charge separation/transfer channel between TiO 2 and Au through carbon layer, desirably inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. The hydrogen production rate of the formed three-component Au/C–TiO 2 (CTA) photocatalyst was demonstrated to be 27 times higher than that of Au–TiO 2 , which also surpassed many reported Ti 3 C 2 MXene-derived carbon–TiO 2 photocatalysts. This work sheds light on the ingenious use of 2D MXene to form a well-behaved TiO 2 -based photocatalytic system and helps to propose future design principles in accelerating charge transfer.

Environmental crisis aroused from the Cr(VI)-containing wastewater has received much attention, due to the cancer-causing and mutagenic feature of Cr(VI). Photocatalytic technology has been considered to be a favorable contestant for coping with Cr(VI)-containing effluent. In this study, Ti 3 C 2 MXene/Zn 3 In 2 S 6 Schottky junctions with different content of Ti 3 C 2 MXene were prepared for Cr(VI) photoreduction. The inherent physical and photoelectrochemical characters of the obtained Ti 3 C 2 MXene/Zn 3 In 2 S 6 Schottky junctions were fully characterized. Compared with the pure Zn 3 In 2 S 6 , all the nanocomposites showed enhanced photocatalytic performance, the apparent kinetic constant of the optimized sample was 3.17 times the height of the Zn 3 In 2 S 6 . The improved photoreduction performance largely originated from the effectual separation and transfer of the photoexcited charge carriers. In the meantime, the deleterious role of superoxide radicals for Cr(VI) photoreduction was confirmed. It is anticipated this research can deliver a new-fangled vision for constructing efficient photocatalyst for Cr(VI) photoreduction.

Ti 3 C 2 -MXene, which exhibits excellent electronic conductivity and optical properties , has been identified as a promising noble-metal-free co-catalyst for the development of efficient photocatalysts for environmental remediation. Herein, CeO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 -MXene hybrids were prepared by the in-situ growth of cube-like CeO 2 using ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 -MXene nanosheets as a two-dimensional platform via a simple hydrothermal route. Upon exposure to solar light, the CeO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 -MXene hybrid with the optimal ratio of Ti 3 C 2 -MXene exhibited enhanced performance in photocatalytic tetracycline degradation and CO 2 reduction, with activities 6.3 and 1.5 times greater than those of pristine CeO 2 , respectively. The improved activity of CeO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 -MXene was attributed to the Schottky junction induced by the built-in electric field between CeO 2 and Ti 3 C 2 -MXene, which drives the photogenerated electrons from CeO 2 to Ti 3 C 2 -MXene and expedites the segregation of the electrons and holes. This work may shed light on the careful design of novel Schottky junctions utilizing noble-metal free Ti 3 C 2 -MXene as co-catalysts for building efficient photocatalytic systems enacted in pollutant degradation and energy conversion.

Photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production by O 2 reduction is an environmental-friendly process for solar light conversion to chemical energy. In this work, Ti 3 C 2 MXene was used as a non-noble metal cocatalyst to load on P25 as Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 (TC/TO) photocatalysts for photocatalytic H 2 O 2 synthesis. A H 2 O 2 formation rate (179.7 μmol L −1 h −1 ) of the optimized 10 %-TC/TO composite was obtained to be over 21 folds as high as that of P25 under UV light. Radical quenching experiments and superoxide radical detection confirmed the superoxide radical as the primary intermediate, suggesting the O 2 reduction in two-step single-electron indirect reaction. The higher activity of TC/TO can be attributed to the functions of Ti 3 C 2 MXene in accelerating the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, suppressing their recombination, and blocking the surface Ti OOH formation. This work proves the promising roles of Ti 3 C 2 MXene in the photocatalytic reaction and further expands their new applications in photocatalysis .

Intracellular pH sensing is of importance and can be used as an indicator for monitoring the evolution of various diseases and the health of cells. Here, we developed a new class of surface-functionalized MXene quantum dots (QDs), Ti3C2, by the sonication cutting and hydrothermal approach and further explored their intracellular pH sensing. The functionalized Ti3C2 QDs exhibit bright excitation-dependent blue photoluminescence (PL) originating from the size effect and surface defects. Meanwhile, Ti3C2 QDs demonstrate a high PL response induced by the deprotonation of the surface defects. Furthermore, combining the highly pH sensitive Ti3C2 QDs with the pH insensitive [Ru(dpp)3]Cl2, we developed a ratiometric pH sensor to quantitatively monitor the intracellular pH values. These novel MXene quantum dots can serve as a promising platform for developing practical fluorescent nanosensors.
