The accessibility of photogenerated charge transfer channels and the activity of catalytic reaction sites are critical for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, a 3D porous N-doped Ti3C2Tx MXene matrix confining Cd0.5Zn0.5S nanoparticles (N-TCT@CZS) was fabricated via electrostatic absorption, thermal nitridation, and in situ growth processes, forming a stable heterojunction with excellent photocatalytic HER activity. Comprehensive experimental and theoretical analyses indicated that N dopants could induce more unsaturated structures and increase the abundance of active sites, while the 3D N-TCT MXene matrix with a stable scaffold configuration and interconnected porous channels could promote charge transfer kinetics, which synergistically realizes electronic structure modulation and spatial configuration design of photocatalysts. Besides, the Cd–N bonds between the N-TCT MXene and CZS enhance the interfacial interaction and expedite the directional interfacial charge transfer, thus substantially boosting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Consequently, the optimal N-TCT@CZS-3 nanohybrid photocatalyst possesses a superior photocatalytic HER rate of 10.90 mmol g−1 h−1, which is 4.8 times higher than that of the pristine CZS nanoparticles. This work proposes an applicable avenue for designing and fabricating novel functional 3D MXene-supported semiconductor materials for solar energy conversion.

Lightweight high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with excellent thermal conductivity and outstanding EMI shielding performances are highly satisfactory for modern integrated electronic and telecommunication systems in the fields of military, aerospace, smart and wearable electronics, and artificial intelligence. Herein, we prepared a cellular MXene@silver nanowire (Ag NW) composite film by a simple vacuum-assisted filtration process induced by potassium ions and freeze-drying after rapid pre-freezing with liquid nitrogen. The construction of the cellular structure can effectively improve the shielding effectiveness. Upon introducing the Ag NWs in the system, the interconnection networks were constructed for the MXene@Ag NW composite film, which significantly improved the electrical and thermal conductivity, further enhancing EMI shielding performance. The composite film with 80 wt% Ag NWs can deliver a high conductivity of 1245 S cm−1, ultrahigh EMI shielding efficiency (SE) of 81.11 dB in the X-band, and a high thermal conductivity of 26.19 W m−1 K−1. The prepared MXene@Ag NW cellular composite film has the advantages of high shielding efficiency and good thermal conductivity, which has important application value in manufacturing lightweight, high shielding efficiency materials and avoiding heat accumulation of electronic devices.

Herein, a series of novel Ti 3 C 2 T x /p-BN heterojunctions with excellent photocatalytic activity have been prepared by combining one-dimensional (1D) porous BN fibers (p-BN) with high aspect ratio and two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes for photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 -to-CO. Our results show that the optimized photocatalyst can photo-reduce CO 2 to generate CO under UV light with CO yield of 22.53 μmol g −1 h −1 , which is 4.3 and 20.1 times of p-BN (5.23 μmol g −1 h −1 ) and Ti 3 C 2 T x (1.23 μmol g −1 h −1 ), respectively. We demonstrate that the Ti 3 C 2 T x /p-BN heterojunction can combine the efficient CO 2 adsorption of porous p-BN and excellent electronic conductivity of Ti 3 C 2 T x . Moreover, the interfacial Ti-O-B bonds lead to strong interaction between p-BN and Ti 3 C 2 T x , resulting in the formation of Schottky heterojunction. The synergistic effect not only enables the adsorption of CO 2 by Ti 3 C 2 T x /p-BN heterojunction higher than p-BN, but also accelerates the transfer and separation of photogenerated carriers in p-BN, which finally exhibits promoted CO 2 photocatalytic activity. The present work pioneer the application of Ti 3 C 2 T x /p-BN heterojunction in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction and further guides the design of noble-metal-free photocatalysts.

Nanomaterial-derived quantum dots (QDs) are excellent electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores and play an important role in optical sensing due to their excellent water solubility, good biocompatibility and tunable molecular size. In this work, a novel strategy was designed to form nano-hybrid Ti 3 C 2 QDs-AuNPs in situ as a luminophore based on the unique reducibility of Ti 3 C 2 QDs, which showed remarkable and stable ECL performance. Here, AuNPs were formed in situ without the addition of reducing agents and stabilizers, leading to threefold enhancement of the ECL signal of Ti 3 C 2 QDs due to their excellent charge transfer capability. Meanwhile, Ti 3 C 2 QDs-AuNPs with abundant Ti atoms also acted as recognition units. Through skillful combination with hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to expose more phosphate, an ECL platform was constructed to detect polynucleotide kinase (PNK) with good specificity and sensitivity. A lower limit of detection limit of 2.7×10 −5 U mL −1 was achieved, with a wide linear relationship ranging from 0.0001 to 10 U mL −1 . This novel strategy provides a guide for the application of nano-hybrid Ti 3 C 2 QDs-AuNPs as a luminophore in the field of ECL bioanalysis. Graphical abstract Novel in situ-formed nano-hybrid Ti 3 C 2 QDs-AuNPs were prepared as a luminophore, with threefold enhancement of the ECL signal of Ti 3 C 2 QDs.

The rechargeable aluminum-sulfur (Al-S) battery is a promising alternative-energy storage device with high energy density and made of cheap raw materials. However, Al-S batteries face several obstacles, especially the shuttle effect. Herein, a binder-free S@Ti 3 C 2 T x sandwich structure film with uniform sulfur dispersion was designed. The two-dimensional (2D) layered material Ti 3 C 2 T x not only has the function of binder and conductive agent but also is a promising host for sulfur anchoring. As a result, S@Ti 3 C 2 T x film showed an initial capacity of 489 mA h g −1 at 300 mA g −1 and retained the value at 415 mA h g −1 after 280 stable cycles, with an average Coulombic efficiency of ∼95%. The film displayed higher capacity and stability than the S + Ti 3 C 2 T x cathode prepared by the slurry-coating method (the initial capacity was 317 mA h g −1 and then decayed to 222 mA h g −1 after 160 cycles). The main capacity of S@Ti 3 C 2 T x film in the Al-S battery came from the reversible redox reaction of S 2− and S. This new 2D material combined with a controllable electrode structure design paves the way for the development of Al-S batteries.

Two-dimensional nanomaterials have exhibited considerable potential for gas sensing applications in recent years owing to their unique physical and chemical properties such as a large surface-to-volume ratio, abundant edge sites, versatile surface chemistry, etc. Herein, we demonstrate a two-dimensional Ti3C2TX MXene@TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposite gas sensor for ammonia detection at room temperature. MoS2 nanosheets are grown on an etched Ti3C2TX MXene surface by a hydrothermal method, and rectangular TiO2 particles are derived from Ti3C2TX MXene in the hydrothermal process. Meanwhile, nanocomposites with different Ti3C2TX MXene additions are also designed for gas sensing performance comparison. Such a novel hierarchical structure based gas sensor (MTM-0.2 sensor) exhibits fast response/recovery time and excellent long-term stability to ammonia. Meanwhile, outstanding selectivity to ammonia against triethylamine, trimethylamine, n-butanol, acetone, formaldehyde, and nitrogen dioxide at room temperature is also shown. The sensor shows 1.79-fold and 2.75-fold enhancement in the gas sensing response toward 100 ppm ammonia compared with the pristine Ti3C2TX MXene and MoS2 gas sensors, respectively. And its detection limit for ammonia is 500 ppb. The sensing mechanisms of the Ti3C2TX MXene@TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites toward ammonia are attributed to the layered nanostructure, p–n heterojunction created at the interface of p-type Ti3C2TX MXene and n-type MoS2. Finally, density-functional theory (DFT) is performed to investigate the adsorption behavior and charge transfer of ammonia molecules on the surface of the nanocomposite. The synthesized Ti3C2TX MXene@TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposite can be regarded as a promising candidate for high-performance ammonia detection at room temperature.

In this study, we proposed in situ controlled preparation of 3D flower-like Ti 3 C 2 T x microspheres (FMXMSs) by water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion-assisted assembly. Polyethyleneimine (PEI), as a large molecule, can effectively stabilize the emulsion system. Ethylenediamine (EDA), as a weak cross-link agent, contains rich amino groups, which can effectively induce the assembly of Ti 3 C 2 T x in spherical droplets and eventually form 3D flower-like Ti 3 C 2 T x microspheres. By adjusting the water-oil volume ratio, the size of micro-emulsion droplets can be controlled, thus the structure and size of microspheres can finally be controlled. The structure has a large specific surface area (108.31 m 2 g -1 ) which can provide an effective ion diffusion pathway. As the supercapacitors electrode, the specific capacitance of FMXMSs is up to 224.57 F g -1 at 5 mV s -1 and 193.67 F g -1 at 0.5 A g -1 . Moreover, they also show good long-term cyclic stability. After 5000 cycles, the specific capacitance does not decay. The results indicate that W/O emulsion-assisted assembly is feasible for preparing MXenes microspheres with high electrochemical performance.

Interfacial solar steam generation is considered the next-generation desalination and sewage treatment technology. However, realizing solar evaporators with broad-spectrum absorption, efficient thermal conversion, and high stability remains a challenge. The high light-trapping surface structure and fast water transport channels of the evaporator improve the evaporation efficiency, and solar evaporators have great potential in the field of solar steam generation. Herein, the mixture of transition-metal carbide (Ti3C2Tx) and core–shell Ag–SiO2 nanoparticles (Ag@SiO2 NPs) is fabricated as a three-dimensional (3D) vertical porous Ti3C2Tx/Ag@SiO2 gel evaporator via ice templating technology. The synergistic interaction between dual Ti3C2Tx–Ag plasma materials confined in a cross-linked microcapillary structure realizes 97.6% wide absorption in the wavelength range of 250–2500 nm. The SiO2 coating on the surface of Ag NPs can inhibit the oxidation of Ag NPs and conduct heat collection management. The 3D vertically cross-linked porous structure promotes efficient water transport and improves the mechanical strength of the evaporator. The Ti3C2Tx/Ag@SiO2 gel evaporator exhibits a high evaporation rate of 1.42 kg m–2 h–1 and a photothermal conversion efficiency of 98% under 1 sun illumination. The Ti3C2Tx/Ag@SiO2 gel evaporator shows great application prospects in seawater desalination and sewage purification.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold their promise in renewable next-generation energy storage technologies due to low cost and high theoretical energy. Herein, a Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-carbon nanocage-sulfur (MXene/CNC/S) cathode is synthesized by a simple process with high conductivity and outstanding performance in Li-S batteries. The cathode with an unusually high sulfur content of 80% demonstrates an eminent initial specific capacity of 1275.5 mAh·g −1 at 0.1 C and retains 823.8 mAh·g −1 after 100 cycles, showing a high retention rate of 64.6%. Besides, it exhibits a great conductive feature for rate performance, delivering 630.5 mAh·g −1 capacity when the current rises to 4 C. In this composition electrode, the excellent electrochemical performance indicates that MXene can effectively adsorb polysulfides to help batteries achieve long-term cyclic performance. On the other hand, the introduction of CNC strongly improves the specific surface area of the cathode and constructs a high conductive network to reduce the stacking of MXene, thus exhibiting better rate performance and increasing utilization of sulfur. Our work holds future technological significance as it could accelerate progress towards lithium-sulfur batteries with high sulfur content and less pricy conductive materials.

As a promising photoanode material, TiO 2 confronts two challenges, weak visible light absorption and low catalytic activity for water oxidation , which limit its photoelectrochemical performance toward water oxidation. Doping and co-catalyst deposition provide effective ways to extending the light-absorption spectral range and accelerating the water-oxidation kinetics, respectively. Herein, an efficient TiO 2 -based photoelectrode for water oxidation is prepared by Fe doping and electrophoretic Ti 3 C 2 T x deposition. The Fe doping effectively extends the light absorption of TiO 2 toward visible region. Owing to the excellent water oxidation activity of Ti 3 C 2 T x , its deposition greatly accelerates the water-oxidation kinetics, which in turn enhances the photocarrier separation and injection efficiencies. The well-designed Fe-TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibits a photoelectrochemical current density of 1.23 mA cm −2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE, which is much higher than those of Fe-TiO 2 . The maximum IPCE value is enhanced from 64.7% of Fe-TiO 2 to 92.8% of Fe-TiO 2 /Ti 3 C 2 T x at 380 nm. Our findings provide an effective way to fabricate efficient photoanode for water oxidation and are helpful to understanding the photoelectrochemical performance of hybrid nanostructures.

Photocatalysts immobilized on hydrogels is a win-win mode, which not only improves photocatalysis but also successfully prevents catalyst loss, making it easy to separate and reuse during catalytic process. Here, ZnO-Ti 3 C 2 T X photocatalysts are loaded into the chitosan/polyacrylic acid hydrogel networks, realizing the efficiently photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin. The chitosan-based composite hydrogel features rich functional groups and a dense pore structure, which is beneficial to antibiotic enrichment and photocatalytic degradation. The effects of different catalyst ratios, dosage, initial concentrations and pH on the degradation efficiency are investigated. The norfloxacin degradation rate constant is 0.012 min −1 and its degradation efficiency reaches up to 90 % after 240 min. Importantly, the photocatalytic composite hydrogel still retains 85 % degradation efficiency after 6 cycles. Moreover, e − plays a significant role in the degradation process. This work converts the traditional powder photocatalysts into bulk photocatalysts (photocatalytic hydrogels) to accomplish efficient degradation and rapid recycling for contaminant removal.
