Manganese-based cathodes are competitive candidates for state-of-the-art aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) because of their easy preparation method, sufficient nature reserve, and environmental friendliness. However, their poor cycle stability and low rate performance have prevented them from practical applications. In this study, Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles were formed in situ on the surface and between the interlayers of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, which was pretreated by the intercalation of K + ions. Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene not only provides abundant active sites and high conductivity but also hinders the structural damage of Mn 3 O 4 during charging and discharging. Benefiting from the well-designed K-Ti 3 C 2 @Mn 3 O 4 structure, the battery equipped with the K-Ti 3 C 2 @Mn 3 O 4 cathode achieved a maximum specific capacity of 312 mAh/g at a current density of 0.3 A/g and carried a specific capacity of approximately 120 mAh/g at a current density of 1 A/g, which remained stable for approximately 500 cycles. The performance surpasses that of most reported Mn 3 O 4 -based cathodes. This study pioneers a new approach for building better cathode materials for AZIBs.

In this study, four pharmaceutical compounds including sulfamethoxazole (SMX), oxytetracycline (OTC), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and ibuprofen (IBU) with different functional groups and p K a , were selected as representative pollutants to systematically investigate the Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) adsorption on a nanomaterial Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene in simulated solution and real surface water . The results show that Ti 3 C 2 T x was an excellent PPCPs adsorbent, but the process was affected by the characteristics of pollutants pronouncedly, the obtained maximum adsorption capacity were OTC (210.97 mg/g) > IBU (185.05 mg/g) > CIP (160.60 mg/g) > SMX (68.12 mg/g). Specially, the charge screen effect caused Ti 3 C 2 T x precipitation during CIP adsorption. The response surface methodology analysis indicates that initial solution pH (3–11) had significant effects, while the influence of humic acid (0–10 mg/L) or sodium chloride (0–10 mg/L) was limited, and the interactions between these factors was slight. In the co-adsorption process, the competitive effects reduced the adsorption of SMX and IBU, however, the enhanced positive ionization and the possible electrostatic repulsive interactions promoted that of CIP and OTC. In real surface water, although the influence of natural organic matters was negligible, the preferential adsorption of background metal ions such as aluminum and calcium ions reduced the adsorption capacity of the selected PPCPs by approximately 29.9 % to 88.4 %. Moreover, the adsorbent characterization conjoined with performance examination imply that electrostatic attraction dominated the Ti 3 C 2 T x adsorption of PPCPs, and hydrogen bonding interactions as well as surface complexation might also contributed. These observations suggest that Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene has the potential for use as adsorbent to eliminate aqueous PPCPs, nevertheless, the interference of co-existing metal ions and the stability of adsorbent were also noteworthy.

Rapid and ultrasensitive detection of toxic gases at room temperature is highly desired in health protection but presents grand challenges in the sensing materials reported so far. Here, we present a gas sensor based on novel zero dimensional (0D)/two dimensional (2D) indium oxide (In2O3)/titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) Schottky heterostructures with a high surface area and rich oxygen vacancies for parts per billion (ppb) level nitrogen dioxide (NO2) detection at room temperature. The In2O3/Ti3C2Tx gas sensor exhibits a fast response time (4 s), good response (193.45% to 250 ppb NO2), high selectivity, and excellent cycling stability. The rich surface oxygen vacancies play the role of active sites for the adsorption of NO2 molecules, and the Schottky junctions effectively adjust the charge-transfer behavior through the conduction tunnel in the sensing material. Furthermore, In2O3 nanoparticles almost fully cover the Ti3C2Tx nanosheets which can avoid the oxidation of Ti3C2Tx, thus contributing to the good cycling stability of the sensing materials. This work sheds light on the sensing mechanism of heterojunction nanostructures and provides an efficient pathway to construct high-performance gas sensors through the rational design of active sites.

In recent times, there has been significant interest in the utilization of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) films as the foundation for supercapacitors due to their three-dimensional structure, flexibility and eco-friendliness. An ultrasonic and vacuum filtration method was used to prepare a hybrid film consisting of MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ), CNF and liquid metal (LM). The combination of CNF and LM with MXene produces a porous structure with higher electrical conductivity, which facilitates the transportation of ions and electrons within the composition and confers the material with heightened electrochemical properties. The CNF/MXene/LM electrode has a significant area capacitance of 871.3 mF cm −2 at a current density of 5 mA cm −2 . The hybrid film demonstrates excellent stability, maintaining a high conductivity of 546.4 S∙cm −1 and retaining 96.9 % capacitance after 2000 cycles at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . By utilizing the thin film as an electrode, a high-performance quasi-solid supercapacitor was fabricated, with a remarkably thin thickness of only 0.319 mm. Supercapacitors show exceptional electrical properties, including a surface-specific capacitance of 188.2 mF cm −2 at a current density of 5 mA cm −2 . This study indicates that flexible electrodes made from cellulose nanofiber have extensive potential in the realm of supercapacitors.

With the continuous advancement of contemporary medical technology, an increasing number of individuals are inclined towards self-monitoring their physiological health information, specifically focusing on monitoring blood glucose levels. However, as an emerging flexible sensing technique, continuous and non-invasive monitoring of glucose in sweat offers a promising alternative to conventional invasive blood tests for measuring blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of infection associated with blood testing. In this study, we fabricated a flexible and wearable electrochemical enzyme sensor based on a two-dimensional Ti3C2TxMXene nanosheets and coral-like polyaniline (PANI) binary nanocomposite (denoted as Ti3C2Tx/PANI) for continuous, non-invasive, real-time monitoring of sweat glucose. The exceptional conductivity of Ti3C2TxMXene nanosheets, in conjunction with the mutual doping effect facilitated by coral-like PANI, significantly enhances electrical conductivity and specific surface areas of Ti3C2Tx/PANI. Consequently, the fabricated sensor exhibits remarkable sensitivity (25.16 μA·mM−1·cm−2), a low detection limit of glucose (26 μM), and an extensive detection range (0.05 mM ~ 1.0 mM) in sweat. Due to the dense coral-like structure of Ti3C2Tx/PANI binary nanocomposite, a larger effective area is obtained to offer more active sites for enzyme immobilization and enhancing enzymatic catalytic activity. Moreover, the sensor demonstrates exceptional mechanical performance, enabling a 60° bend in practical applications, thus satisfying the rigorous demands of human sweat detection applications. The results obtained from continuous 60 min in vitro monitoring of sweat glucose levels demonstrate a robust correlation with the data of blood glucose levels collected by a commercial glucose meter. Furthermore, the fabricated Ti3C2Tx/PANI/GOx sensor demonstrated agreement with HPLC findings regarding the actual concentration of added glucose. This study presents an efficient and practical approach for the development of a highly reliable MXene glucose biosensor, enabling stable and long-term monitoring of glucose levels in human sweat.

Wearable, noninvasive sensors enable the continuous monitoring of metabolites in sweat and provide clinical information related to an individual’s health and disease states. Uric acid (UA) is a key indicator highly associated with gout, hyperuricaemia, hypertension, kidney disease, and Lesch–Nyhan syndrome. However, the detection of UA levels typically relies on invasive blood tests. Therefore, developing a wearable device for noninvasive monitoring of UA concentrations in sweat could facilitate real-time personalized disease prevention. Here, we introduce 1,3,6,8-pyrene tetrasulfonic acid sodium salt (PyTS) as a bifunctional molecule functionalized with Ti3C2Tx via π–π conjugation to design nonenzymatic wearable sensors for sensitive and selective detection of UA concentration in human sweat. PyTS@Ti3C2Tx provides many oxidation–reduction active groups to enhance the electrocatalytic ability of the UA oxidation reaction. The PyTS@Ti3C2Tx-based electrochemical sensor demonstrates highly sensitive detection of UA in the concentration range of 5 μM–100 μM, exhibiting a lower detection limit of 0.48 μM compared to the uricase-based sensor (0.84 μM). In volunteers, the PyTS@Ti3C2Tx-based wearable sensor is integrated with flexible microfluidic sweat sampling and wireless electronics to enable real-time monitoring of UA levels during aerobic exercise. Simultaneously, it allows for comparison of blood UA levels via a commercial UA analyzer. Herein, this study provides a promising electrocatalyst strategy for nonenzymatic electrochemical UA sensor, enabling noninvasive real-time monitoring of UA levels in human sweat and personalized disease prevention.

Application of three-dimensional (3D) carbon framework in phase change material (PCM) has aroused a tremendous interest. However, implementing a high alignment carbon framework with low interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) remain challenging. Herein, we demonstrated a synergetic effect strategy by Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and graphene nanoplate (GNP) to achieve a 3D thermally conductive framework with high alignment skeleton and low filler-to-filler ITR. Typically, the 3D anisotropic carbon framework is fabricated by unidirectional ice template freezing cellulose nanofibers (CNF)/GNP solution with the assistance of MXene. The abundant functional groups of MXene and the similar layered structure promote the dispersion stability of GNP in CNF aqueous solution, resulting in the significant improvement in GNP alignment and the filler-to-filler ITR. Therefore, the final phase change composites obtained by impregnating polyethylene glycol (PEG) into the framework achieves a satisfactory thermal conductivity (TC) of up to 3.49 W/m K at only 6.25 vol% filler loading. Combining the solar-thermal conversion ability of graphene and MXene, the PCM reveals a rapid energy conversion, transfer and storage capability. More importantly, the phase change enthalpy of the PCM can be as high as 164.3 J/g, with little change even after 50 heating-cooling cycles, and the existence of carbon framework can effectively prevent the leakage phenomenon in solid-liquid conversion process, ensuring its shape stability.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a new cancer treatment that uses low-valence transition metal ions to catalyze intracellular Fenton/Fenton-like reactions, producing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to eliminate cancer cells. However, achieving satisfactory therapeutic outcomes with CDT alone can be challenging. In this work, we reported an anticancer drug delivery DOX@HMDN-TQDs@PEI-PEG (DMTP) based on hollow mesoporous manganese dioxide nanoparticle (HMDN), which has the potential to improve cancer therapy by combining synergistic therapeutic and tumor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capability. After loading the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), the pores of HMDN were sealed with polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene quantum dots (TQDs) and finally modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain the final system. HMDN depletes glutathione (GSH), which is harmful to CDT, in cancer cells, and generates Mn 2+ that can be used for both CDT and MRI. TQDs can also be used for highly effective photothermal therapy (PTT) that enhances CDT. The combination of DOX with chemotherapy can significantly inhibit tumor growth. In addition, DMTP combines the capability of tumor MRI as Mn 2+ is also a T 1 -weighted contrast agent . This multifunctional delivery system provides new ideas for research related to tumor diagnosis and treatment.

The radiation resistance of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) is of great significance when applied in aerospace. However, it is still challenging to obtain MOSFETs with excellent radiation resistance. In this work, the radiation hardened MOSFETs were realized by GdF 3 -Al 2 O 3 @Bi-Ti 3 C 2 T x /epoxy (MBAG/EP) polymer-based composite coating with function of trapped interfacial electrons. The radiation resistance of resultant packed MOSFET is significantly improved, showing the lower threshold voltage negative drift value (0.41 V) than the bare MOSFET (7.89 V). This is mainly attributed to the introduction of ultra-thin Al 2 O 3 intermediate layer between Bi and GdF 3 , which effectively tailor electron dense and distribution for an effective electron attenuation, and thus improve the radiation resistance of the MOSFET. Theoretical calculations further reveal that the packed MOSFETs present the less shifted voltage and trapped charges compared with the pristine one. This work provides an interface engineering strategy for developing radiation hardened MOSFETs.

Transplant-associated bacterial infections, especially the formation of bacterial biofilms, frequently lead to persistent infections and even transplant failure. Herein, a near-infrared laser-triggered nanosystem with antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities is constructed by loading S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) onto Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets, which are then mixed with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) powders to prepare porous PLLA/Ti 3 C 2 T x -SNO scaffolds. Especially, the excellent photothermal property of the scaffold is expected not only to eliminate bacterial biofilms but also to trigger RSNO molecules to in situ release nitric oxide (NO) gas under near-infrared laser irradiation. Moreover, the removal of the biofilms facilitates more NO to enter and kill the deep bacteria through nitridation damage, thus realizing the synergistic antibacterial capabilities of photothermal and NO gas therapies. The experimental results showed that the photothermal conversion efficiency of the scaffold reached 39 %. Combining with the in situ NO release, the scaffold presented excellent anti-biofilm and antibacterial activities, with antibacterial rates of 93.6 % and 94.9 % against E. coli and S. aureus , respectively. This work is expected to solve the dilemma of treating bacterial infections in deep tissues, providing reference for the clinical treatment of transplant-associated bacterial infections and even extending to the treatment of other deep refractory infections.

A double-walled microcapsule was fabricated by integrating Ti 3 C 2 T x onto polysulfone through electrostatic self-assembly, effectively overcoming the limitations of conventional single-walled microcapsules, such as inadequate thermal stability, premature release and susceptibility to breakage. By incorporating Ti 3 C 2 T x @PSF microcapsule loaded with ionic liquid (IL) into the coating, a self-lubricating and self-repairing anti-wear and corrosion resistance epoxy coating was developed and evaluated. The coating exhibited an 83.24 % reduction in wear rate, attributed to the uniform lubricating films formed by the released IL and the broken Ti 3 C 2 T x microcapsule. Additionally, the enhanced thermal stability of the double-walled structure helps to prevent the uncontrolled loss of the ionic liquid. For corrosion resistance, the coating containing 10 wt% Ti 3 C 2 T x @PSF@IL demonstrated the ability to withstand up to 40 days of salt spray exposure before notable corrosion occurred. This noticeable performance is attributed to the enhanced interface between the microcapsules and resin, the extended diffusion path created by Ti 3 C 2 T x , and the adsorption effect of IL. Herein, this Ti 3 C 2 T x @PSF double-walled microcapsule loaded IL provides an effective solution for high-performance anticorrosive and wear-resistant epoxy coatings in harsh environments.

This study addresses the efficiency and cost challenges of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts in the context of carbon neutrality strategies by employing a synergistic approach that combines cation vacancy anchoring and transition metal doping on two-dimensional (2D) MXenes. Using an in situ LiF/HCl etching process, the aluminum layers in Ti3AlC2were precisely removed, resulting in a few-layer Ti3C2TxMXene with an increased interlayer spacing of 12.3 Å. Doping with the transition metals Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu demonstrated that Fe@Ti3C2provided the optimal HER performance, characterized by an overpotential (η10) of 81 mV at 10 mA cm−2, a low Tafel slope of 33.03 mV dec−1, and the lowest charge transfer resistance (Rct= 5.6 Ω cm2). Mechanistic investigations revealed that Fe’s 3d6electrons induce an upward shift in the d-band center of MXene, improving hydrogen adsorption free energy and reducing lattice distortion. This research lays a solid foundation for the design of non-precious metal catalysts using MXenes and highlights future avenues in bimetallic synergy and scalability.
