Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide Ti 3 C 2 T x is the most widely studied MXene and has shown excellent metal conductivity, high carrier mobility and rich surface functions due to its unique structure and characteristics, which can act as an ideal potential material for electronic devices. Herein, an electrochemical transistor sensor based on ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as a sensing channel was fabricated, which combined with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs)/Ti 3 C 2 T x nanocomposites functionalized gate electrode to realize the electrocatalytic oxidation of nitrite. Utilizing the high electron mobility of the Ti 3 C 2 T x channel and the outstanding electrocatalytic activity of the gate material, the transistor sensor achieved ultrasensitive detection of nitrite, including the urtralow detection limit down to 0.01 nM, which is lower than those of other available methods and wide linear range (0.01 nM-0.5 μM and 0.5 μM-5 mM). In addition, the Ti 3 C 2 T x -based device exhibited good selectivity, long-term stability and practicability, realizing the accurate detection of nitrite in natural lake water, which provided a new way for the highly sensitive monitoring of nitrite in environmental and food safety.

MXene as a new member of 2D materials due to its metallic conductivity, rigid structure, hydrophilicity and functionalization has received extensive interests in the field of ion exchange membranes . Herein, different mass fractions of Ti 3 C 2 T X MXene were mixed into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by blending method to obtain cation exchange membranes (CEMs), and the electrodialysis (ED) properties of these membranes were characterized to determine the possibility of their application. With the addition of MXene, the anti-fouling ability of the membrane was effectively improved and the membrane resistance was reduced, and the overall performance reached the best when the content of MXene was 3%wt. The ED process results showed that the modified CEMs can reduce the energy consumption and improve the mass transfer capacity, and 3%wt MXene/PVDF CEM had better performance than other prepared CEMs. Furthermore, the improvement of mechanical and thermal stability of these membranes were attributed to the formation of strong interaction between PVDF and MXene. The preparation strategy of MXene/PVDF CEMs provides basic information for the rational design of separation membrane with high comprehensive performance and opens up a good prospect for the application of MXene in the field of electrodialysis.

Thermally chargeable supercapacitors (TCSCs) are emerging and promising devices that could convert thermal energy spontaneously existing in nature into electricity and then store energy for further utilization. Herein, this work reports on the freestanding 3D Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based TCSC, where lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) serve as gel electrolyte. Different from the semiconductor-based thermoelectric materials, the fabricated Ti 3 C 2 T x TCSC exhibits a high Seebeck coefficient of 78.4 mV K −1 . Moreover, when applying a temperature difference (ΔT) of 5.8 K between the cold and hot sides, the Ti 3 C 2 T x TCSC devices provide a stable high voltage of 400.6 mV. The charging/discharging cycles of the Ti 3 C 2 T x TCSC devices upon periodic Δ T of 3.3 and 5.8 K demonstrate their excellent stability. To realize the practical application, the four Ti 3 C 2 T x TCSCs devices connected in series are charged by supplying a Δ T of 5.8 K and used to power a digital timer, demonstrating the possibility and application of the TCSCs in self-powered integrated electronics.

An electrical signal is the key basis of normal physiological function of the nerve, and the stimulation of the electric signal also plays a very special role in the repair process of nerve injury. Electric stimulation is shown to be effective in promoting axonal regeneration and myelination, thereby promoting nerve injury repair. At present, it is considered that electric conduction recovery is a key aspect of regeneration and repair of long nerve defects. Conductive neural scaffolds have attracted more and more attention due to their similar electrical properties and good biocompatibility with normal nerves. Herein, PCL and MXene-PCL nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) were prepared; their effect on nerve regeneration was evaluated in vitro and in vivo . The results show that the NGCs have good biocompatibility in vitro . Furthermore, a sciatic nerve defect model (15 mm) of SD rats was made, and then the fabricated NGCs were implanted. MXene-PCL NGCs show similar results with the autograft in the sciatic function index, electrophysiological examination, angiogenesis, and morphological nerve regeneration. It is possible that the conductive MXene-PCL NGC could transmit physiological neural electric signals, induce angiogenesis, and stimulate nerve regeneration. This paper presents a novel design of MXene-PCL NGC that could transmit self-originated electric stimulation. In the future, it can be combined with other features to promote nerve regeneration.

MXenes are attracting great interest for their excellent electrical and mechanical properties . High dielectric constants have been achieved in polymer-based nanocomposites with MXenes as fillers, but these materials suffer from large dielectric losses. In this work, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/silicone rubber (SR) nanocomposites were prepared because of the low dielectric loss of SR. The effects of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets on the thermal stability, dielectric and mechanical performance of the nanocomposites were investigated. A dielectric constant of 6.2 accompanied by an extremely low dielectric loss of 0.001 at 10 3 Hz frequency was obtained in the nanocomposites when 1.2 wt% Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was loaded. The enhanced dielectric properties are mainly attributed to the Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars effect and the microcapacitor model. Moreover, the thermal stability of the nanocomposites can reach 450 °C. Tensile strength of 430 kPa, elongation at break of 341% and reduced elastic module of 402 kPa were also obtained in the nanocomposite with 2 wt% Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. This work provides a method for fabricating polymer-based nanocomposites with excellent dielectric properties under low filling content, which is crucial for modern electronic applications.

Recovering rare earth elements (REEs) from low-concentration REE-bearing waste streams has been deemed as a sustainable approach to diversity REE supply and reduce environmental burden. However, highly selective separation of trivalent Fe 3+ and Al 3+ impurities during low-concentration REE processing still remains a critical challenge. In this study, two-dimensional multilayered MXene adsorbents TCFs were successfully prepared and utilized for Nd 3+ adsorption via selective etching of Al element in Ti 3 AlC 2 . It was found that LiF/HCl-etched TCF-2 can simultaneously realize effective Al etching, interlayer spacing expansion and in-situ Li + intercalation. The intercalated Li + amount was up to 4.44 wt% (6.40 mmol/g). Compared with HF-etched TCF-1, TCF-2 demonstrated boosted adsorption kinetics (2 h), large adsorption capacity (517.79 mg/g), impressively high selectivity (Nd 3+ /Fe 3+ SF = 221, Nd 3+ /Ca 2+ SF = 858, Nd 3+ /Mg 2+ SF = 3545), and broad working pH range (2–7). Various experimental characterizations reveal that selective Nd 3+ recovery is owing to the ion-exchange and surface complexation induced by interlayer Ti-O/Ti-OH of TCF-2. Specifically, the extended X-ray sorption fine structure (EXAFS) results, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, further confirm the Nd 3+ is selectively adsorbed by forming surfaced complexes structure in the interlayer. And this is also evidenced by the decrease of Nd-O distances and high coordination number. The present results illustrate that alkaline metal ion-intercalated MXene could serve as a promising candidate to efficiently remove trivalent Fe 3+ impurities for REEs recovery.

To achieve the goal of developing high-performance lubricant additives for industrial lubrication. Herein, tetradecylphosphonic acid (TDPA) modified Ti 3 C 2 T X and graphene oxide (GO) were used as nanohybrid lubricant additives in the polyalphaolefins base oil (PAO6). The high-speed reciprocating friction and wear test shows that TDPA–Ti 3 C 2 /GO is an efficient friction-reduction and antiwear additive. The base oil mixed with 0.05 wt%TDPA–Ti 3 C 2 /0.05 wt% GO exhibits the lowest coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate with the value of 0.09 and 4.4 × 10 –6 mm 3 /Nm, decreased by 54.5 and 90.0% compared with pure PAO6 oil, respectively. Detailed characterization analysis shows that the tribological film of the modified TDPA–Ti 3 C 2 /GO nanohybrids oil-lubricated surface was mainly composed of PAO6, TDPA, GO, and iron oxide. This indicates that the friction-reduction and antiwear mechanism of TDPA–Ti 3 C 2 /GO in base oil lies in the adsorption of the two nanomaterials and the formation of a self-lubricating film on the rubbing interface. This study provides a new approach to the design of nanohybrid lubricant additives and creates new prospects for the application of nanomaterials in tribology.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is perceived as a promising technology for freshwater production owing to its environmentally friendly nature and low energy consumption. To date, the development of high-performance electrode materials represents the foremost challenge for CDI technology. In this work, the porous bismuthene/MXene (P-Bi-ene/MXene) heterostructure was synthesized using a simple interfacial self-assembly method with two-dimensional (2D) bismuthene and Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene . Within the P-Bi-ene/MXene heterostructure, the porous structure can increase the active site and facilitate ion transport. Simultaneously, MXene effectively enhances the conductivity of the heterostructure, resulting in accelerating electron transport. Due to these attributes, the P-Bi-ene/MXene heterostructure demonstrates high desalination capacity (90.0 mg/g), fast desalination rate, and good cycling performance. The simple self-assembly strategy between 2D/2D materials described herein may offer inspirations for the synthesis of innovative electrode materials with high performance.

Exploring flexible dielectrics with high dielectric constant and low loss is pertinent for many applications in electronic devices. In the present work, a non-ferroelectric polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), was used to fabricate homogeneous dielectric composite films with a relatively high dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss by using 2D nano sheets (Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene) as the filler. To limit dielectric loss, SiO 2 was coated onto the surface of MXene to provide interfacial barrier effect and suppress dielectric loss. MXene@SiO 2 /PVA composite films showed lower dielectric losses at low frequencies (from 20 Hz to ~ 10 kHz) compared with MXene/PVA composite films. MXene@SiO 2 /PVA composite films with 2.5 wt% MXene loading and 5 wt% (with respect to MXene content) SiO 2 coating had a dielectric constant of 27.2 (a 292.5% rise compared to neat PVA film) and a dielectric loss of only 0.057 (a 259.6% reduction compared to MXene/PVA composite film) at 100 Hz and room temperature (RT). In addition, this SiO 2 -coated composite film had stable dielectric properties (dielectric constant and loss change from 27.2 to 29.3 and 0.057 to 0.104, respectively) in the temperature range of RT to 60 °C. This work provides a promising way to fabricate PVA-based dielectric composites with excellent dielectric properties for practical applications in electronics.

Spinel LiMn 2 O 4 is considered to be a promising cathode for lithium-ion batteries owing to its low cost, safety, environmental friendliness , high operating voltage and natural abundance of manganese. However, the accelerated dissolution of manganese at elevated temperature results in serious capacity fading, which inhibits its further application in energy storage systems. The dissolution of manganese is mainly caused by the attack of trace acidic species (HF) in liquid electrolyte . Here, we report a facile, universal and effective strategy to suppress the dissolution of manganese at 55 °C by encapsulating LiMn 2 O 4 particles in crumpled Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets using an electrostatic self-assembly process. With high electronic conductivity and fast Li + transport capability, such protective layer reduces direct contact between liquid electrolyte and LiMn 2 O 4 particles, suppressing the dissolution of manganese. The composite exhibits larger discharge specific capacity, enhanced rate and cycling capabilities. The capacity retention ratio can be improved by 18.3% at 55 °C after 200 cycles at 2 C. This study provides a new strategy for suppressing the dissolution of manganese at high temperature and widens the road for the application of 2D MXene in energy storage field. The electrostatic self-assembly strategy we proposed is universal and can be applied in other cathode materials, which can arouse much interest of relevant researchers.

MXene , as a new 2-dimensional (2D) material, has excellently potential applications in the field of electrochemistry owing to its high conductivity and fast charge transporting speed. Especially, MXene/polymer composites have attracted widely attentions due to their extensive application in the area of multi-functional materials. Herein, the composites of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/polyaniline (PANI) with different PANI contents have been successfully prepared. The microwave absorption mechanism of these materials was investigated. Attributing to the multiple layer structure, the dielectric property of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and PANI, and the synergistic effect between the Ti 3 C 2 T x and PANI, the as-prepared composites possessed a specific microwave absorbing behavior. With a proper content of PANI, the MXene/PANI composites in a paraffin matrix exhibited a maximum reflection loss of −56.30 dB at 13.80 GHz with the thickness of 1.8 mm. In addition, the effective absorption bandwidth (>90%) ranged from X-band (8–12.4 GHz) to Ku-band (12.4–18 GHz) with the tunable thickness ranging from 1.5 to 2.6 mm. The results indicate that MXene/PANI composites has great potential to be used in the field of microwave absorption.

The construction of novel MXene-based composites with superb abilities through functionalization is an effective strategy to enhance the potential of this emerging inorganic lamellar material for environmental adsorption applications. The present work systematically investigated the adsorption performance of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene modified with phosphate functional groups that facilitate the capture of uranyl ions. After introducing phosphate groups via a two-step modification of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and phytic acid (PA), the synthesized Ti 3 C 2 -APTES-PA is significantly superior to pristine Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets in terms of adsorption capacity, adsorption selectivity and reusability for uranium. The maximum uptake capacity of Ti 3 C 2 -APTES-PA at pH = 5 reaches 323 mg/g, which is 2.5 times higher than that of unmodified MXene. Furthermore, the large selectivity coefficient (S U/M > 16.2) declares that Ti 3 C 2 -APTES-PA preferentially adsorbs uranium among substantial competing ions. Ti 3 C 2 -APTES-PA also shows good cycling performance that its adsorption capacity remained 92.3 % after 6 cycles. When it comes to treating simulated uranium tailings pond leachate and radioactive wastewater from mines, high U(VI) removal rates of 88.9 % and 96.8 % can be achieved by our ternary composite at a dosage of 0.05 g/L. The underlying adsorption mechanism was unraveled by spectroscopic analysis to be the formation of coordination complexes of uranyl ions with phosphate groups on PA and hydroxyl groups on Ti 3 C 2 T x substrate, as well as the reduction of a small amount of adsorbed U(VI) to U(IV) by MXene. The overall results imply that Ti 3 C 2 -APTES-PA is an effective uranium chelating scavenger for the treatment of environmental radioactive wastewater.
