Pillaring technologies have been considered as an effective way to improve lithium storage performance of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. Nevertheless, the pillared hybrids suffer from sluggish Li + diffusion kinetics and electronic transportation due to the compact multi-layered MXene structure, thus exhibiting inferior rate performance. Herein, the few-layered Ti 3 C 2 MXene (f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene) which is free from restacking can be prepared quickly based on the NH 4 + ions method. Besides, Fe nanocomplex pillared few-layered Ti 3 C 2 T x (FPTC) heterostructures are fabricated via the intercalation of Fe ions into the interlayer of f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene. The f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene which is immune to restacking can provide a highly conductive substrate for the rapid transport of Li + ions and electrons and possess adequate electrolyte accessible area. Moreover, f-Ti 3 C 2 MXene can efficiently relieve the aggregation, prevent the pulverization and buffer the large volume change of Fe nanocomplex during lithiation/delithiation process, leading to enhanced charge transfer kinetics and excellent structural stability of FPTC composites. Consequently, the FPTC hybrids exhibit a high capacity of 535 mAh·g −1 after 150 cycles at 0.5 A·g −1 and an enhanced rate performance with 310 mAh·g −1 after 850 cycles at 5 A·g −1 . This strategy is facile, universal and can be extended to fabricate various few-layered MXene-derived hybrids with superior rate capability.

An increasing utilization of flexible healthcare electronics and biomedicine-related therapeutic materials urges the development of multifunctional wearable/flexible smart fabrics for personal therapy and health management. However, it is currently a challenge to fabricate multifunctional and on-body healthcare electronic devices with reliable mechanical flexibility, excellent breathability, and self-controllable joule heating effects. Here, we fabricate a multifunctional MXene-based smart fabric by depositing 2D Ti3C2Tx nanosheets onto cellulose fiber nonwoven fabric via special MXene–cellulose fiber interactions. Such multifunctional fabrics exhibit sensitive and reversible humidity response upon H2O-induced swelling/contraction of channels between the MXene interlayers, enabling wearable respiration monitoring application. Besides, it can also serve as a low-voltage thermotherapy platform due to its fast and stable electro-thermal response. Interestingly, water molecular extraction induces electrical response upon heating, i.e., functioning as a temperature alarm, which allows for real-time temperature monitoring for thermotherapy platform without low-temperature burn risk. Furthermore, metal-like conductivity of MXene renders the fabric an excellent Joule heating effect, which can moderately kill bacteria surrounding the wound in bacteria-infected wound healing therapy. This work introduces a multifunctional smart flexible fabric suitable for next-generation wearable electronic devices for mobile healthcare and personal medical therapy.

With high redox ability of electrons and holes, Z-scheme heterojunction is a promising composite structure in the photocatalysis. However, it is challenging to inhibit the recombination of carriers by Z-scheme transfer. Herein, a novel Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr/Ti 3 C 2 Tx hybrid with dual channel carrier transfer structure was fabricated. Ti 3 C 2 Tx not only serves as a template for growth of Z-scheme Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr, but also can be used to accommodate holes transferred from Ag 3 PO 4 and AgBr. The first channel is consisted of Z-scheme transfer of carriers in Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr. And the hole transfer from the AgBr valence band to Ti 3 C 2 Tx constitutes the second channel, which avoids directly carrier recombination in AgBr valence band. Dual channel carrier transfer pathway was proved by in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS). After Ti 3 C 2 Tx was introduced, the quantum efficiency of Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr increased from 10.59% to 12.50% with reducing Cr(VI), indicating an increase in carrier utilization. The improvement of the degradation efficiency of rhodamine B from 80.77% to 94.72% is benefited from the enhanced quantum efficiency. The dual channel carrier transfer heterojunctions design provides a new idea for constructing an efficient composite photocatalytic structure.

Direct methanol fuel cells with high energy conversion efficiency and low hazard emissions have aroused great attention from both academic and industrial communities, but their large-scale commercial application has been blocked by high costs as well as short lifespan of the anode Pt catalysts. Here, we demonstrate a simple and scalable noncovalent strategy for the synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) Pt nanoworms grown on poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride) (PDDA)-functionalized Ti3C2Tx nanosheets as anode catalysts for methanol electrooxidation. Interestingly, the introduction of PDDA on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets can not only effectively adjust their surface charge property to strengthen the electrostatic interaction between metal and support but also induce the stereoassembly of worm-shaped Pt nanocrystals with abundant catalytically active grain boundaries, which enable the resulting hybrid to express high electrocatalytic activity, remarkable durability, and strong antipoisoning ability for methanol electrooxidation, which are better than those of the traditional Pt nanoparticle electrocatalysts loaded on carbon black, carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, and MXene matrixes. Theoretical simulations disclose that the more stable worm-shaped Pt configuration with an optimized electronic structure on the Ti3C2Tx surface possesses a weaker CO adsorption ability than that of the Pt nanoclusters, thereby providing a dramatically enhanced and sustainable electrocatalytic performance.

The phenomena of ice formation and growth are of great importance for climate science, regenerative medicine, cryobiology, and food science. Hence, how to control ice formation and growth remains a challenge in these fields and attracts great interest from widespread researchers. Herein, the ice regulation ability of the two-dimensional MXene Ti3C2Tx in both the cooling and thawing processes is explored. Molecularly speaking, the ice growth inhibition mechanism of Ti3C2Tx MXene is ascribed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between functional groups of −O–, −OH, and −F distributed on the surface of Ti3C2Tx and ice/water molecules, which was elucidated by the molecular dynamics simulation method. In the cooling process, Ti3C2Tx can decrease the supercooling degree and inhibit the sharp edge morphology of ice crystals. Moreover, taking advantage of the outstanding photothermal conversion property of Ti3C2Tx, rapid ice melting can be achieved, thus reducing the phenomena of devitrification and ice recrystallization. Based on the ice restriction performance of Ti3C2Tx mentioned above, Ti3C2Tx is applied for cryopreservation of stem-cell-laden hydrogel constructs. The results show that Ti3C2Tx can reduce cryodamage to stem cells induced by ice injury in both the cooling and thawing processes and finally increase the cell viability from 38.4% to 80.9%. In addition, Ti3C2Tx also shows synergetic antibacterial activity under laser irradiation, thus realizing sterile cryopreservation of stem cells. Overall, this work explores the ice inhibition performance of Ti3C2Tx, elucidates the physical mechanism, and further achieves application of Ti3C2Tx in the field of cell cryopreservation.

Corrosion of metals leads to great economic losses and safety hazards. To address the corrosion problem of Al alloy in aggressive medium, two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like MXene composite coatings are proposed to enhance the corrosion resistance . Despite great progress, it still faces challenge to design high-performance MXene-based composite coating via a facile strategy because of the complex surface functionalization , orientation control, and the conductivity of MXene. Herein, a multilayer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/dodecyltrimethoxysilane (MXene/DTMS) coating is prepared by a layer-by-layer spraying method at ambient temperature to maximize the physical barrier of MXene nanosheets . As a result, the incorporation of MXene nanosheets can avoid the structural defects of silane coating after curing process, thereby improving the coating resistance and charge transfer resistance by ~11- and ~390-fold in comparison to Al counterpart, respectively. Beyond the traditionally complex surface functionalization and orientation control, the multilayer coating with complete coverage and strong physical barrier ability exhibits the high corrosion resistance with a impedance modulus of 3.74 × 10 7 Ω·cm 2 in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The designed coating shows promising applications in surface protection on Al alloy used in transmission cable, shafts, gears, and blades for offshore wind turbines .

In view of the serious side effects of chlortetracycline (CTC) on the human body, it is particularly important to develop rapid, sensitive, and selective technologies for the detection of CTC in food. In this work, a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor with [Fe(CN)6]3−/4−as signal probe was proposed for the highly sensitive and selective detection of CTC. For this purpose, TiO2, which acts as an interlayer scaffold, was uniformly grown on the surface of Ti3C2Txsheets through a simple two-step calcination process using Ti3C2Txas the precursor to effectively avoid the stacking of Ti3C2Txlayers due to hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. This endowed TiO2@Ti3C2Txwith large specific surface, abundant functional sites, and rapid mass transfer. Then, polypyrrole molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with outstanding electrical conductivity were modified on the surface of TiO2@Ti3C2Txvia simple electro-polymerization, where the pyrrole was employed as a polymeric monomer and the CTC provided a source of template molecules. This will not only provide specific recognition sites for CTC, but also facilitate electron transport on the electrode surface. The synergistic effects between TiO2@Ti3C2Txand polypyrrole MIPs afforded the TiO2@Ti3C2Tx/MIP-based electrochemical sensor excellent detection properties toward CTC, including ultra-low limits of detection (LOD) (0.027 nM), a wide linear range (0.06–1000 nM), and outstanding stability, reproducibility, selectivity, and feasibility in real samples. The results indicate that this strategy is feasible and will broaden the horizon for highly sensitive and selective detection of CTC.

Heavy metal pollution can significantly harm water systems and human health. Combining photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane separation technologies can effectively remove heavy metal ions from wastewater. In this study, a water bath method was used to form SrF 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x (ST) nanoparticles on the surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and an additional polyamide (PA) functional layer was formed at the interface by crosslinking. ST@PA composite NF membranes (STPP) with good photocatalytic performance were obtained. The separation and catalytic properties of the STPP membranes were controlled by the ST content, which modifies the surface structure and properties of the membranes. The membrane with optimal ST crosslinking exhibited a water contact angle of 50.8°, pure water flux of 24.6 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , and rejection rates of Mn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Zn 2+ of 98.8%, 95.3%, 95.7%, and 97.3%, respectively, under PEC-assisted separation with visible light illumination from a Xe lamp (300 W) and an applied voltage (2 V). The STPP membranes showed improved rejection rates of heavy metal ions under PEC-assisted operation. The mechanism for the improved membrane performance under PEC conditions was preliminarily clarified considering the relationship between the photocatalytic and filtration properties of STPP membranes along with the influence of light irradiation and an external voltage on the heavy metal ions. The generation of electrons, holes, superoxide radicals, and hydroxyl radicals during membrane operation enhances the rejection rates of heavy metal ions. Based on these results, STPP membranes are considered a promising technology for industrial applications in heavy metal removal.

With the rapid advancements of portable and wearable devices, high-efficiency electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are highly required to eliminate radiated electromagnetic pollution. Ti3C2Tx MXene has shown great application potential as an EMI SE material due to its good conductivity. However, a single-loss mechanism has many limitations. Herein, to enrich the electromagnetic-wave-loss ways, MXene@ZIF-67/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite films were successfully prepared by vacuum-assisted filtration, combined with the introduction of magnetic ZIF-67 anchored on MXene by an electrostatic self-assembly method. The MXene@ZIF-67/MWCNTs composite film (MZ2M8) achieved the best EMI shielding performance of 63.6 dB at 32 μm thickness, and the contribution ratio of the scattering parameters for absorption to reflection, i.e., SEA to SET, was 66.94%, thus achieving high absorption loss. Due to the high aspect ratio of the MWCNTs and the densely stacked “brick–mortar” layered structure, the composite film also exhibited excellent flexibility and mechanical performance, in which MZ8M2 could deliver a high tensile strength of 115.2 MPa, ensuring practical applications in different environments. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of MZ2M8 reached 3.367 W m−1 K−1, realizing the synergistic effect of high shielding efficiency and heat-dissipation performance, and avoiding the phenomenon of heat accumulation caused by the conversion of electromagnetic waves into heat energy.

Transition metal cobalt oxide (Co3O4) with a typical spinel structure is considered a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, its OER catalytic performance is unsatisfactory owing to its limited activity. In this study, we demonstrate that using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) loaded Co3O4 nanoparticles and then anchoring them onto 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene with a layered structure can significantly enhance the OER catalytic performance. This performance may be due to the well-layered structure of g-C3N4, thereby enabling it to provide more attachment sites for Co3O4 nanoparticles, reducing their agglomeration properties and exposing more active sites to promote OER catalytic performance. When anchoring Co3O4@g-C3N4 on Ti3C2Tx MXene, solid-state interfacial interactions can adjust the structure of electrons and promote the rate of interfacial charge transfer, which enhances the conductivity of the catalyst and further promotes its OER catalytic performance. The overpotential required for TCN is 247 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm–2, which is significantly lower than that of pure Ti3C2Tx MXene (600 mV) and Co3O4@g-C3N4 (387 mV), in addition to exhibiting excellent electrochemical stability.

Despite inorganic CsPbI 3− x Br x perovskite solar cells (PSCs) being promising in thermal stability, the perovskite degradation and severe nonradiative recombination at the interface hamper their further development. Herein, the typical MXene material, that is, Ti 3 C 2 T x , is employed to be the buried interface prior to the perovskite absorber layer in the device, which multi-functionalizes the as-prepared electron-transfer layers by means of both fascinating preferential crystallization of perovskite and/or accelerating the charge extraction with respect to an ideal energy-level alignment and suppressed trap states. Accordingly, the power conversion efficiency of the modified PSC device is substantially enhanced by as high as 19.56% in comparison to their counterparts with only the pristine CsPbI 3− x Br x active layer. More importantly, MXene modification is favorable to improve the wettability of perovskite precursor solution with enhanced grain size and crystallinity, thereby increasing the UV long-term stability of solar cells. This work provides a new paradigm toward alleviating the severe nonradiative recombination at the interface in the device whilst enhancing the long-term stability via the preferential crystallization process.

Endogenous electric fields (EFs) are capable of regulating the behaviors of skin cells in wound healing. However, majority of current dressings are primarily engaged in the passive repair of defective tissue, as they lack the ability to actively respond to physiological electrical signals. In this work, a series of nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) were fabricated by coaxial electrospinning, combining the good mechanical properties of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), the bioactivity of gelatin and the electroactivity of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, as electroactive and antibacterial dressings for cutaneous wound healing. The obtained NFMs exhibited suitable mechanical properties and hydrophilicity, excellent electroactivity, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility. Especially, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/PCL/gelatin-6 (MPG-6, 6 wt.% of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene in sheath spinning liquids) showed the optimal conductivity and antibacterial activity. Excitingly, this scaffold significantly promoted the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of NIH 3T3 cells under the electrical stimulation (ES). The in vivo evaluation in a full-thickness wounds defect model demonstrated that the MPG-6 films significantly accelerated wound closure, increased granulation tissue formation, increased collagen deposition, and promoted wound vascularization. In summary, the versatile scaffold is expected to be an ideal candidate as wound dressings due to its ability to promote the transmission of physiological electrical signals and thus improved the therapeutic outcomes of wound regeneration.
