Combining the unique advantages of two-dimensional transition metal carbon/nitrogen compounds (MXene) and the excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of noble metal materials, MXene/Ag NPs films were proposed as nanocarriers for SERS-traceable drug delivery. The films were prepared by two-step self-assembly on positively charged silicon wafers using virtue of the high evaporation of ethyl acetate, the Marangoni effect, and an oil/water/oil three-phase system. With 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as the probe molecule, the SERS detection limit was 10 −8 M and had shown a good linear relationship in the range of 10 −8 –10 −3 M. Simultaneously, the film had good uniformity, repeatability, and stability. When Ti 3 C 2 T x /Ag NPs films were used as nanocarriers, the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded onto the surface through 4-MBA, and the tracking and monitoring were realized by SERS. The addition of glutathione (GSH) triggered the thiol exchange reaction, resulting in the shedding of 4-MBA from the surface of the film, which indirectly achieved the efficient release of DOX. Furthermore, the loading of DOX and the drug release effect triggered by GSH maintained a certain stability in serum, which provided a potential possibility for the subsequent loading and release of drugs by films with three-dimensional structures as scaffolds in biological therapy.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are regarded as a promising battery mainly due to their high safety and environmental friendliness, but suffer from low capacity and energy density . Herein, a pre-intercalated manganese oxide (Na 0.55 Mn 2 O 4 ·1.5 H 2 O)/MXene hybrid (NMO/MXene) is successfully proposed for high-performance ZIBs , in which synergistic effect between MXene and NMO greatly improves the structural stability of NMO and facilitates fast charge transfer and ion diffusion kinetics. Therefore, the resulting NMO/MXene cathodes deliver high-rate capacity of 180 mAh g −1 at 10 C (3.08 A g −1 ) and long cycling life over 2500 times at 5 C, outperforming most reported Mn-base cathodes. The MXene-mediated strategy for advanced Mn-based cathodes developed here paves a new way to construct high-performance Zn-MnO 2 batteries.

Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) structured polyanionic materials have recently attracted great attention for robust crystal structures. However, inherent properties of NASICON presents poor electrical conductivity and low energy density. Herein, non-stoichiometric synthesized strategy is used for acquiring N 3.5 MTP, effectively suppressing voltage hysteresis. Besides, as-fabricated N 3.5 MTP grains in-situ grow on MXene-rGO aerogels by sol–gel synthesis approach obtaining N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO. MXene-rGO aerogel as an excellent conductive matrix can effectively avoid agglomeration of Na 3.5 MnTi(PO 4 ) 3 particles and alleviate volume change of the lattice during sodium ion intercalation/deintercalation. Moreover, cross-linked network of N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO provides fast electron transfer and ion transport rates. The above synergistic effect and contribution of pseudocapacitance make it an excellent discharge capacity of 189 mA h g −1 at 50 mA g −1 for N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO, long cycles of 5000 cycles, as well as 98 mA g −1 at −30 °C (50 mA g −1 ). Prospectively, this study provides an effective strategy for improving electrochemical performance of NASICON-type cathode for sodium batteries.

Multifunctional selectivity and mechanical properties are always a focus of attention in the field of flexible sensors. In particular, the construction of biomimetic architecture for sensing materials can endow the fabricated sensors with intrinsic response features and extra-derived functions. Here, inspired by the asymmetric structural features of human skin, a novel tannic acid (TA)-modified MXene-polyurethane film with a bionic Janus architecture is proposed, which is prepared by gravity-driven self-assembly for the gradient dispersion of 2D TA@MXene nanosheets into a PU network. This obtained film reveals strong mechanical properties of a superior elongation at a break of 2056.67% and an ultimate tensile strength of 50.78 MPa with self-healing performance. Moreover, the Janus architecture can lead to a selective multifunctional response of flexible sensors to directional bending, pressure, and stretching. Combined with a machine learning module, the sensor is endowed with high recognition rates for force detection (96.1%). Meanwhile, direction identification in rescue operations and human movement monitoring can be realized by this sensor. This work offers essential research value and practical significance for the material structures, mechanical properties, and application platforms of flexible sensors.

Improving the tribological performance of water via designing nanomaterials as lubricant additive has garnered mounting interest. In this work, the poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel is grafted onto Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles surface (Fe 3 O 4 @PNA) via free radical polymerization. Then, the Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can self-anchored on the MXene nanosheets via hydrogen bonding interaction to obtain MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA composite. The as-prepared MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can effectively reduce friction and wear when used as a water-based lubricant additive. Compared with pure water, the average coefficient of friction (COF) and wear volume decrease by 61% and 78.7%, respectively. The lubrication mechanism was analyzed by focused ion beam technique-TEM (FIB-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The outstanding tribological performance of MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA is attributed to the synergistic lubrication effect of MXene and Fe 3 O 4 @PNA. Interlayer shear of MXene and spherical Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can make MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA play a full role of sliding friction and rolling friction mechanism, which can induce tribo-chemical reactions to form a protective film on the contact area of the friction pair. In addition, the hydrophilic groups of the MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can adsorb a large number of water molecules and form a hydration layer, reducing the agglomeration of nanosheets and acting as a boundary lubrication film. Moreover, the as-prepared MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA exhibit excellent photothermal conversion performance in both underwater environment and dry state. Based on this characteristic, infrared light can be collected efficiently and stored quickly. Then, convert and utilize it. Therefore, the multifunctional MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA has a broad application prospect as a water-based intelligent lubrication additive.

Mo2C MXene is a two-dimensional material, which can be applied as a co-catalyst to significantly enhance the photocatalytic performance of CdS for H2 production. To understand the effect of the synthesis process of Mo2C MXene nanosheets on the catalytic performance, in this paper, Mo2C MXene was made from Mo2Ga2C by hydrothermal etching in different etchants. Diverse cations (Li+, Na+, K+, or NH4+) in etchants resided on the surface of Mo2C MXene nanosheets. Then, the samples were used to construct CdS/Mo2C-MXene composites for photocatalytic H2 evolution. Among them, Mo2C MXene with Li+ shows the best photocatalytic H2 production rate of 22,048 μmol g–1 h–1 under visible light. The remarkable performance arises from the modification at the nanoscale of Mo2C MXene with Li+, thereby resulting in better photoabsorption behavior, high separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and fast charge transfer at the heterointerface. Moreover, the energy band structures explain that the changes of band gap and the position of the conductive band in the photocatalyst tuned by cations are also key to affect photocatalytic activities.

Membrane fouling is a major challenge for the membrane separation technique in water treatment. Herein, an MXene ultrafiltration membrane with good electroconductivity and hydrophilicity was prepared and showed excellent fouling resistance under electrochemical assistance. The fluxes under negative potential were 3.4, 2.6 and 2.4 times higher than those without external voltage during treatment of raw water containing bacteria, natural organic matter (NOM), and coexisting bacteria and NOM, respectively. During the treatment of actual surface water with 2.0 V external voltage, the membrane flux was 1.6 times higher than that without external voltage and the TOC removal was improved from 60.7% to 71.2%. The improvement is mainly attributed to the enhanced electrostatic repulsion. The MXene membrane presents good regeneration ability after backwashing under electrochemical assistance with the TOC removal remaining stable at around 70.7%. This work demonstrates that the MXene ultrafiltration membrane under electrochemical assistance possesses excellent antifouling ability and has great potential in advanced water treatment.

The analytical functionalization of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been an extremely attractive topic in photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing. However, most PEC sensors based on photoactive MOFs are more focused on the acquisition and amplification of semiconductor photoelectric signals, and the study of affinity mechanisms for specific targets is more limited. Here, we find that PCN-224 (Zn) can effectively sense organophosphorus structures through a multicenter affinity mechanism, as evidenced by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and computational chemistry. Further, we coupled PCN-224(Zn) to Nb 4 C 3 to form a Schottky junction that enhances the photoelectric signal response of the sensor. In particular, the heterojunction exhibited a higher photocurrent density than pristine PCN-224(Zn) (17.3 μA vs. 26.5 μA cm −2 ). On the basis, we developed a novel MOF-based polycentric-affinity PEC sensing strategy for dimethoate (DIM) detection in concert with molecular imprinting technology. The affinity effects of the Lewis acidic center sites (Zn(II), Zr(IV)) and spatial matching through molecular imprinting synergistically ensure that DIM is precisely captured. Ultimately, a trace DIM-PEC sensor was constructed by a competitive strategy using dopamine as an electron donor. The photocurrent intensity was linearly related to the logarithm of DIM concentration in the range of 0.1 nM to 1000 nM, with a low detection limit of 26.1 pM (3σ/S). This study demonstrates the potential of bifunctional polycentric-affinity MOF in the PEC sensing.

Marine biological pollution is a worldwide problem that poses a significant challenge in marine engineering. MXene nanosheets and zwitterionic polymers are promising materials for marine anti-biofouling and have attracted much attention. Herein, we self-assembled the polydopamine layer on the surface of MXene nanosheets (MXene-PDA), and then introduced the zwitterionic polymer (PEIS) by Michael addition reaction onto the PDA layer to obtain the zwitterionic polymer-functionalized MXene nanosheets (MXene-PEIS). The as-prepared MXene-PEIS exhibits excellent antifouling performance through the cooperative antifouling effect between the MXene nanosheets and the zwitterionic polymer PEIS (the antibacterial rate improved by 88 % and there was a 98 % decrease in microalgae adhesion density). Moreover, the nanocomposite antifouling coatings (MXene-PEIS/SP) were obtained by blending the as-prepared MXene-PEIS nanosheets with self-polishing coatings. The results show that MXene-PEIS/SP coatings have good antifouling performance due to the synergy between MXene, PEIS, and self-polishing coatings.

Two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets have been identified as promising for constructing ultrathin laminar nanostructures with nanoscale water transport channels for water purification. Herein, ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via coupling ZnO nanoflowers to the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based laminar nanostructure, which exhibited photocatalytic self-cleaning properties driven by visible light for enhanced organic dye removal. The physicochemical properties and NF performance with and without photocatalytic treatment were systematically characterized. The prepared ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene NF membrane could reject 95.44% Congo red (CR) and demonstrated an excellent water permeability of 138.81 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 (LMH/bar). In comparison to the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene membrane and the same amount of ZnO powders, the ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene membrane demonstrated higher photodegradation performance to 10 ppm MB. Impressively, the membrane showed an enhanced separation performance for 6 cycles with a RhB rejection > 88.48% and a permeability of 138.69 LMH/bar. Lastly, the synergistic photocatalytic mechanism of ZnO@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene composite nanostructure was investigated. Such results may offer a novel insight for the fabrication of laminar structured Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based NF membranes with photocatalytic induced anti-fouling performance for enhanced dye water purification.

With the development of electronic products to miniaturization and high frequency, high-performance flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are urgently needed to deal with electromagnetic pollution. Two-dimensional transition metal carbide/polyimide (Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/PI) films were synthesized by in situ polymerization and a simple scratch method in this paper. The Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets give the films good EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) and electrical conductivity . Specifically, the film with a thickness of 0.11 mm (Ti 3 C 2 T x content of 30 wt%) exhibits an EMI SE of 34.73 dB and a specific EMI SE (SE/thickness) of 315.73 dB/mm in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band). In addition, the films have a tensile strength of 67.58 MPa, and a high decomposition temperature of 510 ℃ in N 2 atmosphere. Therefore, we believe that the prepared Ti 3 C 2 T x /PI films with good comprehensive performance have enormous potential in the field of lightweight and flexible EMI shielding materials.
