The advancement of interface engineering has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in overcoming the primary impediment associated with sluggish reaction kinetics in supercapacitor electrodes. In this investigation, we employed a facile co-precipitation method to synthesize NiCoMoO 4 /MXene heterostructures utilizing Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets as carriers. This heterostructure inhibits the restacking of MXene nanosheets and simultaneously enhances the exposure of electrochemically active sites in NiCoMoO 4 nanorods, thereby mitigating the reduction in specific capacitance resulting from volumetric fluctuations. The NiCoMoO 4 /MXene electrode, possessing pseudo-capacitance properties, demonstrates an impressive level of specific capacitance, exceptional performance across various charging rates, and consistent behavior throughout repeated cycles. By optimizing the mass ratio, this electrode achieves a specific capacity of 1900 F/g under a current density of 1 A/g. Even after enduring 10,000 cycles at a significantly higher current density of 5 A/g, it still maintains an impressive retention rate of 94.73 %. Our density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the enhanced electrochemical performance can be attributed to the improved electronic coupling within the NiCoMoO 4 /MXene heterostructure. The integration of NiCoMoO 4 /MXene cathode and activated carbon (AC) anode with an alkaline gel electrolyte containing potassium ferricyanide in flexible quasi-solid-state supercapacitors (FSSCs) results in exceptional electrochemical performance and flexibility. These FSSCs demonstrate a maximum energy density of 72.89 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 850 W kg −1 , while maintaining an impressive power output of 16,780 W kg −1 with an energy density of 37.28 Wh kg −1 . Based on these outstanding properties, it is evident that the NiCoMoO 4 /MXene heterojunction possesses significant advantages as electrode material for supercapacitors, and the fabricated FSSCs devices pave a new pathway for flexible electronic devices.

The poor conductivity, poor stability, and agglomeration of iron-based metal organic framework MIL-88A(Fe) limit its application as persulfate (PS) activator in water purification. Herein, MXene-supported MIL-88A(Fe) composites (M88A/MX) were synthesized to enhance its adsorption and catalytic capability for tetracycline (TC) removal. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize prepared materials, confirming the successful attachment of MIL-88A(Fe) to the surface of MXene. M88A/MX-0.2 composites, prepared with 0.2 g MXene addition, exhibit optimal degradation efficiency, reaching 98% under conditions of 0.2 g/L M88A/MX-0.2, 1.0 mM PS, 20 ppm TC, and pH 5. The degradation rate constants of M88A/MX-0.2 were 0.03217 min −1 , which was much higher than that of MIL-88A(Fe) (0.00159 min −1 ) and MXene (0.00626 min −1 ). The removal effects of reaction parameters, such as dosage of M88A/MX-0.2 and PS; initial solution pH; and the presence of the common co-existing constituents (humic acid and the inorganic anions) were investigated in detail. Additionally, the reuse of M88A/MX-0.2 showed that the composites had good cycling stability by recurrent experiments. The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching experiments indicated that ·OH, ·SO 4 − , and ·O 2 − were involved in the M88A/MX-0.2/PS system where persulfate oxidation process was activated with prepared M88A/MX-0.2. In addition, the intermediates of photocatalytic degradation were determined by HPLC–MS, and the possible degradation pathways of the target molecules were inferred. This study offered a new avenue for sulfate-based degradation of Fe-based metal organic framework.

Mxene has been widely used as a sorbent to remove heavy metal ions from sewage due to its unique two-dimensional layered structure and abundant oxygen-containing groups. However, Mxene has a relatively limited adsorption capacity for metal ions possibly due to the limited adsorption active sites. Herein, we reported novel Mxene/alginate composites for lead and copper ion removal from wastewater. The Mxene/alginate composites prepared in this study not only enhance the chelation ability of the lead and copper ions, but also accelerate the ion transport efficiency. The combined advantages of high adsorption capacity and short equilibrium time enable the Mxene/alginate composites to achieve the maximum adsorption capacity for Pb2+ and Cu2+ at 382.7 and 87.6 mg g−1, respectively, and reach the adsorption equilibrium in 15 min. We believe that the composites developed in this study can open a new avenue for designing high adsorption capacity and high efficiency adsorbents.

Flexible supercapacitors are promising energy storage devices for smart wearable fields. Achieving simultaneously their high energy density and actual applications is still challenging for portable supercapacitors assembled by MXene electrode materials. In this study, the microfluidic combined wet-spinning strategy and vacuum-assisted film forming technology are proposed to fabricate three-dimensional MXene fiber fabrics (3DMFF) with an ordered, porous, and interconnected network structure. The 3DMFF electrodes exhibit an excellent specific areal capacitance of 6925 mF cm–2 at a current density of 5.0 mA cm–2 in a three-electrode system. The sandwich structure symmetric supercapacitors constructed by the 3DMFF electrodes can still achieve a high specific areal capacitance of 4531.3 mF cm–2, a large energy density of 402.8 μWh cm–2 at a power density of 2000 μW cm–2, and a reversible charge/discharge stability. The flexible supercapacitors show good bending deformation ability and can power several miniaturized electronic devices to realize the practical application.

Solvent-free nanofluids were synthesized by grafting an organic oligomer shell onto the nanomaterial core, demonstrating significant liquid flow behavior at room temperature without any solvents. The synergistic effect within the solid–liquid combination found in solvent-free nanofluids positions them as potential lubricant candidates. In this study, solvent-free MXene@Fe3O4 nanofluids (MXene@Fe3O4 NFs) were successfully synthesized by loading Fe3O4 nanoparticles in situ onto MXene nanosheets, followed by covalent grafting with a silane coupling agent and a flexible long-chain polyetheramine. Its magnetic response properties were then assessed, highlighting its potential for recyclability. The tribological performance of MXene@Fe3O4 NFs as lubricants was examined under varying operating conditions with a focus on the morphology and chemical composition of the worn surface to elucidate the lubrication mechanism. The results reveal that MXene@Fe3O4 NFs, compared to MXene NFs and Fe3O4 NFs, exhibit optimal tribological performance. Additionally, even under severe loads, temperatures, or frequencies, MXene@Fe3O4 NFs show superior friction-reduction and wear-resistant properties. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fluidity endowed by the organic shell layer coupled with the synergistic tribological effects between MXene nanosheets and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. As solid–liquid lubricants with magnetic responsivity, MXene@Fe3O4 NFs present an effective strategy for high-performance lubricants synthesis.

Clarifying the relationship between ion desolvation, ion-electrode interactions, and charge storage capacity during ion intercalation in host electrode materials is crucial for advancing fast and efficient energy storage systems. However, the absence of direct evidence for ion desolvation and lack of detailed understanding of the interactions between surface terminations and intercalated cations (Li ions)/solvents hinder the exploration of their effects on energy storage mechanisms. In this paper, we study the intercalation of Li ions from a non-aqueous electrolyte in two-dimensional metal carbides Ti 3 C 2 MXenes with different surface chemistries: HF-Ti 3 C 2 (F-, OH- and O-terminated) and MS-Ti 3 C 2 (O- and Cl-terminated) MXenes. We are able to visualize the full ion desolvation and solvents-ions co-intercalation in the interlayers of MS-MXene and HF-MXene, respectively at the atomic scale. The combination of several techniques and characterization tools reveal that the complete ion desolvation in Cl- and O-terminated MS-Ti 3 C 2 MXenes is associated with the formation of a dense solid electrolyte interface layer, resulting in improved charge storage capacity. The O-rich surface terminations of MS-MXenes are found to be responsible for the efficient Li ions storage. These findings shed lights on identifying the critical role of non-electrostatic ion-electrode interactions and ion desolvation in designing high-performance energy storage devices.

The advent of the Internet of Things has boosted portable and wearable miniature electronics, especially micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) with excellent integrated performance as well as high-power density and a long lifetime. However, the rational design of electrode material formulations and the construction of three-dimensional (3D) structured electrodes with scalable and cost-effective fabrication remains an arduous task for improving the energy density of MSCs to meet all industrial sector requirements, such as the mass-production of microscale structures, a lasting power supply, and safety. To address these challenges, combining the respective capacitance merits of MXenes and polyaniline (PANI), we propose a constructing strategy for the preparation of a 3D MXene@PANI hierarchical architecture consisting of one-dimensional (1D) PANI nanofibers grown on two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2MXene nanosheets via extrusion-based 3D printing. Such a 3D architecture not only achieves a high loading mass of MSC electrodes prior to conventional planar MSCs for abundant active site exposure, but it also overcomes the restacking of MXene nanosheets accounting for sluggish ionic kinetics. These features enable the resulting MSCs to deliver excellent electrochemical properties, including a high volumetric capacitance of 1638.3 mF/cm3and volumetric energy density of 328.2 mWh/cm3. This power supply ability is further demonstrated by lighting up a blue bulb or powering an electronic thermometer. This study provides a promising design strategy of the architecture of MXene@PANI composites for high-performance MSCs with 3D printing technology.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation has emerged as a sustainable solution to address global freshwater scarcity by converting solar energy into thermal energy for efficient water purification. To achieve rapid and energy-efficient steam generation, the development of advanced photothermal materials with optimized light absorption and water activation remains critical. Here, we present a three-dimensional polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/Nb2C MXene (PCN) hydrogel engineered for high-performance solar evaporation. The composite integrates Nb2C MXene nanosheets into a hydrophilic polymer matrix through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, forming interconnected microchannels that enable broadband solar absorption (93% across 300–2500 nm) via MXene's plasmonic effects and light-trapping architecture. The synergistic combination of rapid water transport and weakened hydrogen bonding within the hydrated network significantly reduces the evaporation enthalpy to 1426 J g−1. This design achieves an exceptional evaporation rate of 2.72 kg m−2 h−1 and a solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency of 93.2% under 1 sun irradiation, surpassing conventional hydrophilic polymer-based systems. The hydrogel's hierarchical porous structure facilitates effective thermal localization and sustains stable evaporation across varying solar intensities (1–5 sun), demonstrating adaptability for scalable applications. This work provides a rational strategy to design MXene-enhanced hydrogels for practical solar desalination and wastewater purification technologies.

Soft actuators possessing notable mechanical deformations, high sensitivity, and fast response speed play a crucial role in various applications, such as artificial muscles, soft robots, and intelligent devices. In this study, a smart humidity-driven actuator was successfully fabricated by utilizing MXene/cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/LiCl (MCL) through vacuum-assisted filtration with fast response speed and high sensitivity. Utilizing the excellent humidity responsiveness of MXene/CNF and the robust hygroscopicity of LiCl, the synergistic effect of these materials enhances the hygroscopic properties and response speed of the actuator. The MCL actuator demonstrates excellent actuation performance, fast deformation, and reliable cyclic stability. To illustrate the extensive potential of the soft actuator, a range of applications, from bionic devices to soft grippers and crawling actuators, are showcased. Remarkably, the crawling actuator demonstrates sustained crawling motion without necessitating a humidity switch, relying on the humidity gradient from water droplets, and exhibits spontaneous directional motions within a certain range, which makes it a promising prospect in the field of soft robotics.

Magnesium hydride (MgH2) has been recognized as a promising hydrogen storage material because of its low cost and high hydrogen capacity. However, the sluggish kinetics and high operating temperature hindered its utilization. Herein, vanadium-substituted titanium-based bimetallic MXene (Ti3–nVnC2) was prepared to boost the hydrogen storage efficiency of MgH2. The incorporation of 5 wt % Ti2.2V0.8C2 dramatically decreased the dehydrogenation temperature of MgH2 and improved its kinetics and cyclic stability. The MgH2-5 wt % Ti2.2V0.8C2 started to release hydrogen at 165 °C, and it released 7.0 wt % H2 in 30 min at 220 °C and took in 5.3 wt % H2 in 2 h at 75 °C, showing excellent kinetics. In addition, the activation energy of MgH2-added Ti2.2V0.8C2 was 80.81 ± 3.29 kJ mol–1, which is lower than that of the most Ti-/or V-based catalyst-doped MgH2 systems. Mechanism analysis reveals that the remarkably enhanced hydrogen storage performance is ascribed to the stable existence and uniform distribution of Ti-species (Ti0 and Titanium hydride) and V-species (V0 and V5+), which facilitated the rapid hydrogen absorption/desorption of MgH2 and ensured its stable hydrogen storage capacity. This study offers valuable perspectives for the assembly and design of bimetallic catalysts within the realm of solid-state hydrogen storage materials.

Although the phase change material (PCM) is increasingly recognized for its potential in battery thermal management application, the effectiveness of PCM is hindered by issues such as high rigidity, prone leakage and low thermal conductivity. To get rid of such predicament, a novel flexible composite PCM containing the myristyl alcohol/olefin block copolymer/MXene is fabricated and tested in this paper, and then the applicability of this composite PCM on battery thermal management is evaluated through numerical simulation. The results indicate that the MXene enhances the thermal conductivity of the composite PCM, and up to 207 % increment is acquired by 15 wt% MXene. The excellent thermally-induced flexibility of the composite PCM is realized owing to the olefin block copolymer. Under the cooperative action of the MXene and the olefin block copolymer, the composite PCM features outstanding thermal reliability. As for the battery cooling application, the composite PCM features superior characteristic than the air. Considering the better thermal control performance, the low MXene addition in the composite PCM is appropriate for the high discharge rate, while the high MXene addition is suitable for the low discharge rate. The PCM thickness between parallel batteries exerts greater impact on battery thermal management in contrast to the PCM thickness between series batteries. The prepared composite PCM can meet the thermal control requirements when the ambient temperature is 20–35 °C.

Although commercial lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in portable electronics and electric vehicles, they are still plagued by the uncontrollable dendritic lithium under extreme conditions. Herein, an efficient strategy is developed to produce a MXene-configured graphite via an electrostatic interaction between MXene and silane coupling agent-modified graphite. Typically, MXene layers are adhered onto the basal plane of graphite, with good preservation of the uncovered lateral edges of graphite, effectively strengthening the adsorption energy of Li + and reducing the lithium nucleation energy barrier. Moreover, the MXene interface possesses good lattice compatibility with Li (110) plane, greatly promoting the homogeneous growth of Li along the preferable plane under extreme conditions. Even at −20 °C, Ah-level pouch cell with MXene-configured graphite electrode delivers a high capacity retention of 93% after 1200 cycles (273 Wh kg −1 ) at 1 C, exceeding lithium-ion batteries with bare graphite electrode (43% capacity retention, 191 Wh kg −1 ).
