As a novel transition metal carbides and/or carbonitrides, MXene possess two-dimensional characteristic, abundant surface hydrophilic functional groups, and excellent electrical conductivity that bestow a possibility to building MXene-based photocatalysts. Inspired by this, an emerging Ti 3 C 2 MXene cocatalyst bridged Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 to induce a highly visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity, synthesized by electrostatic self-assembly method and the partial reduction of Ag + ions to Ag 0 in MXene solution is reported. The resultant hybrids reveal a well-defined hybrid structures with Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 anchoring on the layer structured Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets. Benefiting from the unique structural features, the Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /Ti 3 C 2 hybrids present Ti 3 C 2 content-dependent photocatalytic activity toward the methyl orange (MO) degradation and Cr(VI) reduction under visible-light irradiation. Remarkably, the Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /Ti 3 C 2 hybrid with 3 wt% Ti 3 C 2 content achieves the greatest MO degradation efficiency and Cr(VI) reduction efficiency after irradiation for 1 h, which are increased to 1.72 and 1.46 times higher than that obtained on pristine Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles, respectively. Such impressive photocatalytic activity is related to the synergeric effects derived from Ag, Ag 3 PO 4 , and Ti 3 C 2 , which greatly enhance visible light absorption, promote separation and transfer of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. This work highlights that the MXene-based photocatalysts would be desirable candidates for environmental purification of organic pollutants and heavy metal ions.

A highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for lincomycin (Lin) detection was designed based on a novel self-accelerated ECL luminophore of Ag 3 PO 4 -Ti 3 C 2 nanohybrids. The Ag 3 PO 4 -Ti 3 C 2 nanohybrids demonstrated prominent ECL performances with K 2 S 2 O 8 as co-reactant, and the Ti 3 C 2 as co-reaction accelerator, which catalyzes K 2 S 2 O 8 into more active radicals and inducing a tremendous amount of excited-state luminophores. Besides, it can be used for loading aptamer molecules owing to its large surface area. Given these attributes, a self-accelerated ECL aptasensor for Lin detection was constructed based on the effect of target induced aptamer dissociating. Under optimized conditions, the ECL aptasensor exhibited wide linear relationship of 1.0 × 10 −4 nmol/L to 1.0 × 10 2 nmol/L, low detection limit of 6.17 × 10 −5 nmol/L (S/N = 3) and good stability and reproducibility for Lin detection. The aptasensor was successfully applied for the Lin detection in milk and water samples, implying immense potential in real applications.

To advance the concept of organic-inorganic hybrids toward extreme operating conditions, the composite coating was constructed via adding well-dispersed Ti 3 C 2 @ZnO heterostructure into interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). Its wear rates after UV irradiation under dry and tribocorrosion conditions were decreased by 81.85% and 80.4%, respectively, and accompanied by the highest open circuit potential value. Its storage modulus and adhesion strength after UV irradiation were enhanced by 74.4% and 502.5%, respectively. Outstanding wear/corrosion resistance under extreme operating conditions can be attributed to as follows: the nature/structure advantage of Ti 3 C 2 @ZnO reinforcement including weakening photo-oxidative degradation and good barrier, the mending effect of Ti 3 C 2 @ZnO for wear scar and the formation of tribo-film on the sliding interfaces for preventing the tribo-pairs from direct contact.

MXenes are attractive for various biosensors owning to their tunable versatile properties. Herein, Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets (Ti 3 C 2 NSs) were found to possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, and which could be enhanced by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) adsorbed on the nanosheets. Hence, a simple label-free sensing strategy was developed for colorimetric detection of biomolecules, based on Ti 3 C 2 NSs as a peroxidase mimic enzyme and ssDNA aptamer as an enzymatic activity enhancement factor along with a recognition substance for the target. In the presence of target biomolecules, the aptamers were desorbed from Ti 3 C 2 NSs due to the specific binding of targets to aptamers, thus bringing about the decrease of catalytic activity. Thrombin (TB) as the model was determined by this constructed biosensor with a linear range of 1.0 × 10 −11 to 1.0 × 10 −8 M, and evaluated subsequently in the real blood samples with satisfactory results. This work highlights Ti 3 C 2 MXenes as a nanomaterial mimic enzyme (called nanozyme) for monitoring biomolecules by target-specific recognition strategy.

As a 2D material, Ti 3 C 2 (MXene) has been recently used as electrodes for electrochemical capacitors. Herein, a two-step procedure is used to obtain a highly opened layer structure for Ti 3 C 2 , which differs from the methods used in the literature for synthesizing exfoliated MXene. First, the mild NH 4 HF 2 etching agent is used to prepare the regular Ti 3 C 2 MXene. Second, KOH is added into the obtained solution for K + to intercalate the MXene. The K + intercalation is found to greatly increase the (002) crystal planar spacing of the Ti 3 C 2 from 10.8 to 12.4 Å. More importantly, this K + -intercalated MXene exhibits a highly opened layer structure, whereas the regular MXene only has a partially opened layer structure. Consequently, the former is expected to allow much more active sites exposed to liquid electrolyte, and also facilitates remarkably higher ion and electron transport efficiency. To investigate their electrochemical capacitance properties, the regular and K + -intercalated Ti 3 C 2 MXenes are used to fabricate binder-free electrodes on nickel foams by an electrophoretic deposition method. The K + -intercalated MXene-based electrode is found to have twice higher specific capacitance than the regular MXene. Furthermore, the K + -intercalated Ti 3 C 2 MXene-based electrode exhibits an excellent cyclic stability.

Converting water into hydrogen fuel and oxidizing benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde simultaneously under visible light illumination is of great significance, but the fast recombination of photogenerated carriers in photocatalysts seriously decreases the conversion efficiency. Herein, a novel dual-functional 0D Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S/2D Ti 3 C 2 hybrid was fabricated by a solvothermally in-situ generated assembling method. The Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S nano-spheres with a fluffy surface completely and uniformly covered the ultrathin Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, leading to the increased Schottky barrier (SB) sites due to a large contact area, which could accelerate the electron-hole separation and improve the light utilization. The optimized Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S/Ti 3 C 2 hybrid simultaneously presents a hydrogen evolution rate of 5.3 mmol/(g·h) and a benzaldehyde production rate of 29.3 mmol/(g·h), which are ∼3.2 and 2 times higher than those of pristine Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S, respectively. Both the multiple experimental measurements and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations further demonstrate the tight connection between Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S and Ti 3 C 2 , formation of Schottky junction, and efficient photogenerated electron—hole separation. This paper suggests a dual-functional composite catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and benzaldehyde production, and provides a new strategy for preventing the photogenerated electrons and holes from recombining by constructing a 0D/2D heterojunction with increased SB sites.

Ascribing to incremental fossil fuels emissions, the utilization and conversion of CO 2 and development of renewable energy is globally essential and significative. Ultrathin 2D/2D heterojunctions with fast photo-generated electrons transmission channels illustrate a better strategy to improve photocatalytic activity. Herein, combing La 2 Ti 2 O 7 with metallic few-layered Ti 3 C 2 MXene to construct inter-plane 2D/2D heterojunction was in situ self-assembled through solvothermal method. Benefiting from the advantages including stability, conductivity, abundant active sites and formation of Schottky junctions, as expected, the ultrathin 2D/2D La 2 Ti 2 O 7 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene nanosheets presented much improved photocatalytic ability for CO 2 reduction to CO and CH 4 , which is about 4.6 and 11.4 times higher than that of mechanical mixed La 2 Ti 2 O 7 and Ti 3 C 2 MXene. fs-TAS and XPS provided direct evidence that the prominence of La 2 Ti 2 O 7 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction over other opponents should be attributed to the synergetic effect of efficient charge carrier mobility and formed 2D/2D Schottky heterojunction interfacial contact between La 2 Ti 2 O 7 and Ti 3 C 2 MXene. Intermediates revealed by in-situ DRIFTS and corresponding atomic-level DFT calculations confirmed the mechanism, pathways and selectivity for photocatalytic CO 2 conversion. This work expanded promising prospects arouses new impetus for deepening the prehension of the mechanism of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction, designing and fabrication of Schottky heterojunctions for application in conversion and utilization of CO 2 .

Herein, the 3D N-doped Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 sphere structure is constructed via an innovative three-step method including the preparation of 3D Ti 3 C 2 microspheres with PMMA as templates, the situ-growth of TiO 2 nanoparticles on Ti 3 C 2 and the subsequent annealing treatment in NH 3 . N element is doped in composite after annealing in NH 3 to improve the transfer rate of ions and electrons, and N-doped Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 hollow composite provides an abundant active surface for the sufficient contact between electrodes and electrolytes to enhance charge transport and electrolyte diffusion. Benefiting the unique structure feature and the synergistic effects of active materials, the N-doped Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 572 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 and a superior cyclic stability of 99.6% of its initial value for 9500 cycles at 10 A g −1 . Based on this, a symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) based on N-doped Ti 3 C 2 /TiO 2 electrode is further assembled. The SSC shows a competitive capacitance of 157 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 . More importantly, the comparable energy density of 17.7 Wh kg −1 is achieved at the power density of 450 W kg −1 . This work will give promising guidance for designing and fabricating the durable electrodes with excellent electrochemical behavior for practical application in future.

Desalination processes frequently require a lot of energy to generate freshwater and energy, which depletes resources. Their reliance on each other creates tension between these two vital resources. Herein, hierarchical MXene nanosheets and bismuth vanadate (Ti 3 C 2 /BiVO 4 )-derived microcapsules were synthesized for a photothermal-induced photoredox reaction for twofold applications, namely, solar-driven water evaporation and hydrogen (H 2 ) production. For this purpose, flexible aerogels were fabricated by introducing Ti 3 C 2 /BiVO 4 microcapsules in the polymeric network of natural rubber latex (NRL-Ti 3 C 2 /BiVO 4 ), and a high evaporation rate of 2.01 kg m −2 h −1 was achieved under 1-kW m −2 solar intensity. The excellent performance is attributed to the presence of Ti 3 C 2 /BiVO 4 microcapsules in the polymeric network, which provides balanced hydrophilicity and broadband sun absorption (96 %) and is aimed at plasmonic heating with microscale thermal confinement tailored by heat transfer simulations. Notably, localized plasmonic heating at the catalyst active sites of the Ti 3 C 2 /BiVO 4 heterostructure promotes enhanced photocatalytic H 2 production evolved after 4 h of reaction is 9.39 μmol, which is highly efficient than pure BiVO 4 and Ti 3 C 2 . This method turns the issue of water–fuel crisis into a collaborative connection, presenting avenues to collectively address the anticipated demand rather than fostering competition.

Toxic organic dyes are a serious threat to the global environment, and membranes with catalytic properties show great promise as a green water treatment method for removing these pollutants. Herein, Ti 3 C 2 /W 18 O 49 photocatalytic membranes were constructed by vacuum filtrating Ti 3 C 2 and W 18 O 49 to form a hybrid layer on a mixed cellulose ester (MCE) support. The efficient separation of dyes was attributed to the negative charge and abundant –OH groups of Ti 3 C 2 /W 18 O 49 , which can capture cationic dyes by electrostatic adsorption and form hydrogen bonds with the amino groups of dye molecules. Moreover, the Ti 3 C 2 /W 18 O 49 membrane exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance and a dye-contaminated membrane was regenerated under visible light in 120 min. The two component materials complement each other, with the W 18 O 49 providing adsorption sites and photocatalytic ability and the Ti 3 C 2 serving as an electron trap and improving charge separation. Photoinduced electrons in the conduction band of W 18 O 49 are transferred to Ti 3 C 2 to form O 2 – , while holes remain in the valence band of W 18 O 49 to generate OH, and h + . O 2 – and OH are mainly responsible for the degradation of dyes. Therefore, this efficient and easily prepared membrane shows practical potential as a next-generation method for dye removal from water.

Novel two-dimensional Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets were successfully prepared by etching Al from Ti3AlC2 in LiF/HCl system. In order to further improve the dispersing property and electrical conductivity of Ti3C2 nanosheets, Ti3C2/graphene oxide (Ti3C2-GO) nanocomposites were synthesized and applied for the fabrication of inkjet-printed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor. The results of electrochemical characterization show that the prepared sensor maintains the biological activity of hemoglobin (Hb) and can be applied to the practical detection. The printed sensors display a dynamic range from 2 μM to 1 mM and a detection limit of 1.95 μM with a high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for H2O2 determination. Therefore, the printable Ti3C2-GO nanocomposites are an excellent sensing platform for electrochemical determination.

With the growing issue of antibiotic resistance, it has become increasingly crucial to develop highly efficient antimicrobial materials. While the single-component nanozyme systems exhibited some catalytic activity, their efficiency remains suboptimal. This study presents a Ti3C2/CuWO4/Pt hybrid nanozyme composed of photothermal agents and nanozymes, which leverages the photothermal effect to enhance nanozyme activity and achieve efficient antimicrobial effects. The composite material exhibited peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity, effectively converting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Meanwhile, the Ti3C2/CuWO4/Pt material demonstrated high photothermal conversion ability, which not only promoted the generation of ·OH under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, but also facilitated copper (Cu2+) ions release from the CuWO4 nanozyme, thereby further augmenting its catalytic activity. After 4 to 5 min of light irradiation, the Ti3C2/CuWO4/Pt nanozyme exhibited significant antimicrobial performance against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In summary, this work presents a Ti3C2/CuWO4/Pt nanoplatform that utilizes the photothermal effect to enhance the chemodynamic antimicrobial activity, showcasing its potential applications in antibiotic-free antimicrobial fields.
