Gas sensors lie at the heart of various fields ranging from medical to environmental sciences, and the demand of gas sensors is instantly expanding. However, in the face of complex gas samples, how to maintain high sensitivity while performing multiplex detection still puzzles the researchers. Here, by introducing Ti3C2Tx MXene into a microfluidic gas sensor with a three-dimensional (3D) transferable SERS substrate, a powerful gas sensor having both multiplex detecting ability and high sensitivity is demonstrated. The employ of MXene endows the sensor with a universal high adsorption efficiency for various gases while the generation of in situ gas vortices in the sophisticated nanomicro structure extends the molecule residence time in SERS-active area, both leading to the increased sensitivity. In the proof-of-concept experiment, a limit of detection (LOD) of 10–50 ppb was achieved for three typical volatile organic compounds (VOCs) according to the intrinsic SERS signals of gas molecules. Besides, the well-designed periodic 3D structure solves the general repeatability problem of SERS substrates. In addition, the detailed composition of gas mixture was revealed using classic least-square analysis (CLS) with an average accuracy of 90.6%. Further, a chromatic barcode was developed based on the results of CLS to read out the complex composition of samples visually.

Although transition metal carbide (MXene) fibers are highly electrically conductive, the poor spinnability of neat MXene dispersion and the brittleness of the conductive fibers limit their applications. Herein, a coaxial wet spinning assembly strategy is adopted to fabricate mechanically strong and electrically conductive Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based core–shell fibers with regenerated cellulose (RC) as the tough component and graphene oxide/MXene (GM) as the conductive components. By an optimal structure design, the hollow RC@GM 90 fiber with the RC shell exhibits an increased strength of 134.7 MPa, a high toughness of 14.1 MJ m −3 , a large elongation at break of 13%, and a high conductivity of 2.37×10 3 S m −1 . By sewing on a textile substrate, the hollow RC@MXene fibers with a high conductivity of 3.68×10 4 S m −1 provide an extraordinary electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency of over 90 dB and outstanding solar-thermal energy conversion performances. Similarly, by improving spinnability of the MXene spinning dope with an aqueous dispersion of GO, solid core–shell GM@RC fibers with conductive GM shells are fabricated by the coaxial spinning, and the chemically reduced GM@RC fibers exhibit a high conductivity of 9.90×10 4 S m −1 and excellent electro-thermal energy conversion performances.

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) has been envisioned as a promising photoanode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. However, the PEC performance of BiVO 4 based photoanodes is usually dragged down by the poor charge transport and slow kinetics for an oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, a novel composite photoanode of Ti 3 C 2 T X /BiVO 4 was fabricated for the first time by spin coating thin Ti 3 C 2 T X (MXene) flakes onto the surface of a BiVO 4 film grown on the FTO substrate. A facile re-annealing treatment of bare BiVO 4 /FTO photoanode in argon can impressively boost the photocurrent density from 2.1 mA cm −2 up to 2.95 mA cm −2 . Experimentally, we clearly elucidated that by re-annealing, the interfacial (BiVO 4 /FTO) charge recombination could be effectively suppressed due to the better contact between the BiVO 4 film and FTO. The coating of thin Ti 3 C 2 T X flakes onto the BiVO 4 film would further increase the photocurrent density to 3.45 mA cm −2 (measured at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) under 1 sun illumination), exhibiting a photoconversion efficiency of 0.78% and a surface charge separation efficiency of 73%. The outstanding PEC performance can be mainly ascribed to the coating of the thin Ti 3 C 2 T X (MXene) flakes which function as co-catalysts, facilitating the charge transfer of the photogenerated carriers and reducing the charge recombination on the BiVO 4 surface. Our findings provide a facile re-annealing strategy and a novel two-dimensional (2D) material of Ti 3 C 2 T X (MXene) as co-catalysts to improve the performance of the BiVO 4 photoanode for PEC water oxidation.

Compared to phototherapy, microwave therapy has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of deeply tissue-infected osteomyelitis owing to deep penetration ability, precise positioning heating, low damage to normal tissue. However, it is still significant to design materials with efficient microwave thermal conversion. In this paper, capacitor-like structure Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/CNT is prepared to achieve high microwave thermal conversion efficiencies for safe and efficient microwave therapy through mechanisms associated with polarization and induced electric fields. Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/CNT have been shown to achieve significant microwave thermal effects at varying thicknesses of tissue barrier and can rapidly increase the temperature in a short period of time, effectively causing 98.80% eradication of Staphylococcus aureus and 99.24% eradication of Escherichia coli within 20 min. Combined with remarkable antimicrobial effect and acceptable biocompatibility, this may provide reference for the safe and effective microwave therapy strategies to treat osteomyelitis.

Kiwifruit, renowned for its antioxidant properties and nutritional richness, faces challenges in maintaining quality during transportation, often leading to suboptimal products reaching the market. To address this issue, a wireless transmission flexible ethylene monitoring device (WFEMD) was developed. This device comprises a flexible ethylene gas sensor and a signal transmission processing unit integrated with electronic components, enabling real-time monitoring capabilities. In this study, the catalytic activity of Pd and Pd/Ti heterojunctions was leveraged to enhance the ethylene gas sensing. The impact of Ti3C2Tx modified with varying masses of Pd nanoparticles on ethylene gas response levels was investigated. The signal transmission processing unit, fabricated by using the laser direct-writing method, was optimized to collect signals from the flexible ethylene gas sensor, convert them into corresponding ethylene concentrations, and transmit data via an antenna. By introducing a random forest (RF) classification algorithm, a remarkable 97.5% accuracy in predicting kiwifruit ripeness grades was achieved. The algorithm facilitated precise classification by collecting key parameters such as ethylene and CO2 during transportation. The WFEMD enables real-time acquisition of kiwifruit ethylene gas information, which is transmitted wirelessly for data visualization and traceability via mobile terminals. This empowers managers with timely insights into ethylene emissions and ripeness predictions, facilitating informed decision-making processes.

Thermally chargeable supercapacitors can collect low-grade heat generated by the human body and convert it into electricity as a power supply unit for wearable electronics. However, the low Seebeck coefficient and heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency hinder further application. In this paper, we designed a high-performance thermally chargeable supercapacitor device composed of ZnMn 2 O 4 @Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene composites (ZMO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene) electrode and UIO-66 metal–organic framework doped multichannel polyvinylidene fluoridehexafluoro-propylene ionogel electrolyte, which realized the thermoelectric conversion and electrical energy storage at the same time. This thermally chargeable supercapacitor device exhibited a high Seebeck coefficient of 55.4 mV K −1 , thermal voltage of 243 mV, and outstanding heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency of up to 6.48% at the temperature difference of 4.4 K. In addition, this device showed excellent charge–discharge cycling stability at high-temperature differences (3 K) and low-temperature differences (1 K), respectively. Connecting two thermally chargeable supercapacitor units in series, the generated output voltage of 500 mV further confirmed the stability of devices. When a single device was worn on the arm, a thermal voltage of 208.3 mV was obtained indicating the possibility of application in wearable electronics.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is widespread in the environment and has a serious impact on human body. In this study, a novel magnetic metal-organic frameworks@Ti 3 C 2 T x composite, noted as Fe 3 O 4 @Ti 3 C 2 T x /MOF, was prepared and used as adsorbent for the removal of BPA from environmental water. The adsorption parameters that affecting the removal efficiency of BPA, such as solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, co-existing inorganic ions, ionic strength, and humic acid were investigated in detail. Accordingly, the removal efficiency of BPA by Fe 3 O 4 @Ti 3 C 2 T x /MOF was as much as 95 %. Adsorption studies showed that the proposed composite can provide a maximum adsorption capacity of 547.43 mg g −1 for BPA within 5 min, which was superior to most of the reported adsorbents. The adsorption process was consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetics (K 2 , 1.1063 μg mg −1 min −1 ) and Freundlich isotherm model, indicating that the adsorption was depended by chemisorption and the heterogeneous surface. Furthermore, the thermodynamic results demonstrated the exothermic nature of the adsorption process (ΔH θ = −34.84 kJ mol −1 ). Most importantly, the magnetic properties of the Fe 3 O 4 @Ti 3 C 2 T x /MOF make it easy to collect, so it can be regenerated and reused for at least 4 cycles without significant loss of adsorption efficiency. Overall, the proposed composite can be applied to the efficient removal of BPA from water samples and could be potentially applicable for practical wastewater treatment.

Current patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from either accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) or inefficient clearance of the middle molecule uremic toxins, threatening their long-term survival rate. In particular, conventional hemodialysis membranes cannot prevent AGEs formation because of continuous oxidative stress from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, a persistent ROS scavenging and efficient uremic toxin clearance of hemodialysis membrane is proposed by the in situ deposition of a gallic acid-Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (GA-MXene) n multilayers through a self-assembly method, where n denotes the number of deposition layers. These hemodialysis membranes have a highly interconnecting composite laminate with tunable pore size. In the dialysis experiment, the (GA-MXene) 2 membrane with the vertical nano-slits shows the highest middle molecule uremic toxin clearance of 80.0% compared with state-of-the-art hemodialysis membranes, which has been approximately equal to the clearance of small molecule urea. Furthermore, GA conferring efficient ROS scavenging rate over dialysis treatment time allows anti-oxidative activities to inhibit AGEs’ formation. (GA-MXene) n multilayers enhanced the serum total antioxidant capacity and suppressed lipid peroxidation from oxidative damage. Ultimately, the (GA-MXene) n hemodialysis membranes provide excellent anticoagulant properties and cytocompatibility through the heparin-mimicking sulfonated Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and biological activity of GA. This work facilitates the blood purification application of MXenes and opens up an avenue for developing functional multilayers for high-performance hemodialysis membranes and beyond.

With the rapid advancement of wearable technology, multifunctional sensors have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications in environmental monitoring, health diagnostics, and human−machine interaction. Despite their promise, challenges, such as limited flexibility, insufficient sensitivity, and complex production processes, have hindered their practical deployment. This study presents the fabrication of a multifunctional flexible sensor based on PU-supported Ti3C2Tx/TiO2/PPy yarns for both ammonia (NH3) gas sensing and human motion detection. Key innovations include the incorporation of polypyrrole (PPy) into the Ti3C2Tx MXene structure and the optimization of titanium dioxide (TiO2) content through varying hydrothermal times, which significantly enhance the gas sensing performance. The sensor demonstrates exceptional sensitivity and selectivity toward NH3, with a rapid response and recovery times. Additionally, the PU-supported composite yarns exhibit excellent mechanical flexibility and durability, maintaining stable performance under repeated stretching and bending cycles. In human motion detection, the sensor shows high sensitivity and reliable performance in monitoring various physical activities, making it highly suitable for applications in wearable electronics. These features ensure the sensor’s applicability in diverse settings, promoting safety and health in environments with potential ammonia exposure and enhancing human−machine interactions through accurate motion monitoring.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) pose potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. This work developed an ozonation-assisted electrochemical filtration (OAEF) system using a Ti 3 C 2 T x /CNTs composite membrane electrode and systematically investigated its efficiency, mechanisms, and practicality for PPCPs removal. The results suggest that the excellent adsorption and hydrophilic properties of Ti 3 C 2 T x , combined with its formation of an optimized membrane structure when mixed with CNTs, significantly enhanced the pollutant adsorption capacity and water permeation flux of fabricated electrode. Ozone incorporation in the electrochemical filtration process facilitated pollutant abatement, achieving approximately 99 % degradation and 42 % mineralization of fluoxetine (FLX), a representative PPCP. Moreover, the OAEF system demonstrated broad pH suitability and good stability, effectively detoxifying FLX-contaminated wastewater. The analysis of oxidants and electrode component evolution in the OAEF system, combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, revealed that enhanced mass transfer and electron transport promoted electro-peroxone initiation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thereby improving pollutant elimination and regenerating the adsorption capacity of electrode. Further analysis of 34 PPCPs treatment using quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models indicated that adsorption on the Ti 3 C 2 T x /CNTs was primarily influenced by pollutant solubility, C O bond content, dipole moment, and molecular weight, while degradation was significantly impacted by aromatic ring content, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy, and solubility. Additionally, the Ti 3 C 2 T x /CNTs membrane electrode exhibited satisfied fouling mitigation during the treatment of real surface water, suggesting that the OAEF process is feasible for practical applications.

Hydrogels are emerging as stretchable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials because of their tissue-like mechanical properties and water-rich porous cellular structures. However, achieving high-performance hydrogel shields remains a challenge because enhancing conductivity often results in a compromise in deformation adoptability. This work proposes a treatment strategy involving sulfuric acid/titanium carbide MXene, which can simultaneously enhance the conductivity and stretchability of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) double-network hydrogels. Multiple spectroscopic characterizations reveal that sulfuric acid promotes the linear conformation transition of the PEDOT molecular chain, while MXene increases charge delocalization and hydrogen bond cross-linking sites. The hydrogels, synthesized with a combined content of 0.6 wt % of MXene and PEDOT:PSS, exhibit an average X-band EMI SE of 41 dB. This performance is sustained at 94.5%, even following stretching and release at a strain of 200%. Interestingly, the EMI SE is found to linearly increase, reaching a value of 99 dB as the frequency is increased to 26.5 GHz. This increase is attributed to the enhanced water molecular polarization process, as supported by theoretical calculations of the impedance and attenuation constant. This work introduces a post-treatment technique that optimizes double-network hydrogels, providing deep insights into their EMI shielding mechanism and enabling high-performance EMI shielding with an ultralow conductive filler content.

The shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and their sluggish kinetic processes lead to rapid capacity fading and poor cycling stability in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, limiting their commercial viability. This study proposes a functionalized separator with adsorption and synergistic catalysis ability for Li–S batteries. The modified separator comprises Ti 3 C 2 T x sheets, CoO, and MoO 3 . Experimental and theoretical calculations demonstrate that Ti 3 C 2 T x /CoO/MoO 3 composite not only effectively inhibits the shuttle effect of LiPSs, ensuring efficient utilization of active materials, but also enhances reversibility and reaction kinetics among LiPSs. The full exposure of active sites in the Ti 3 C 2 T x /CoO/MoO 3 composite and the synergistic action of different catalysts enable efficient capture and conversion of LiPSs molecules at the material surface. Besides, the lithium–sulfur batteries with Ti 3 C 2 T x /CoO/MoO 3 @PP separator exhibited only a 0.042% capacity decay per cycle at 0.5 C (800 cycles). Moreover, a high areal capacity of 6.85 mAh cm −2 was achieved at high sulfur loading (7.9 mg cm −2 ) and low electrolyte-to-sulfur ratio (10 μL mg −1 ).
