Known as a new kind of two dimensional materials, Mxene has attracted much attention in applications in polymer based composites because of their unique mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. In this work, we report on the synergistic enhancement of Ti 3 C 2 T x Mxene nanosheets coated on carbon fiber (CF/Mxene) to epoxy resin. Ti 3 C 2 T x Mxene nanosheets were synthesized by HF etching and sonicating and used as surface sizing agent to modify NH 2 -CF by electrostatic self-assembly. NH 2 -CF/Mxene reinforced epoxy resin (NH 2 -CF/Mxene/EP) composites were prepared using a solution blending method. Their structure, morphology and performance were investigated. It is observed that Mxene possesses nanosheet structure and functional groups which are responsible for improving interfacial adhesion between NH 2 -CF and EP resin. The structural characterization showed that Mxene nanosheets are successfully attached to the NH 2 -CF surfaces. Importantly, the tensile strength, flexural strength, shear strength, and impact strength of NH2-CF/Mxene/EP composites have respectively increased by 40.8, 45.9, 38.5, and 74.4% compared to those of pristine CF/EP composites, suggesting that Ti 3 C 2 T x Mxene nanosheets use is a promising approach for improving the mechanical properties of EP-based composites.

Fabricating high-performance MXene-based polymer nanocomposites is a huge challenge because of the poor dispersion and interfacial interaction of MXene nanosheets in the polymer matrix. To address the issue, MXene nanosheets were successfully exfoliated and subsequently modified by long-chain cationic agents with different chain lengths, i.e., decyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (OTAB), and dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB). With the long-chain groups on their surface, modified Ti3C2(MXene) nanosheets were well dispersed inN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), resulting in the formation of uniform dispersion and strong interfacial adhesion within a polystyrene (PS) matrix. The thermal stability properties of cationic modified Ti3C2/PS nanocomposites were improved considerably with the temperatures at 5% weight loss increasing by 20 °C for DTAB-Ti3C2/PS, 25 °C for OTAB-Ti3C2/PS and 23 °C for DDAB-Ti3C2/PS, respectively. The modified MXene nanosheets also enhanced the flame-retardant properties of PS. Compared to neat PS, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) was reduced by approximately 26.4%, 21.5% and 20.8% for PS/OTAB-Ti3C2, PS/DDAB-Ti3C2and PS/DTAB-Ti3C2, respectively. Significant reductions in CO and CO2productions were also obtained in the cone calorimeter test and generally lower pyrolysis volatile products were recorded by PS/OTAB-Ti3C2compared to pristine PS. These property enhancements of PS nanocomposites are attributed to the superior dispersion, catalytic and barrier effects of Ti3C2nanosheets.Keywords:MXene;functionalization;polystyrene;thermal stability;flame retardant

Incorporation of magnetic loss component is more favorable to high-performance microwave absorbing materials. In this paper, the NiFe 2 O 4 -decorated Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene composites were synthesized by the in-situ chemical co-precipitation method. The magnetic NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were attached on the surfaces or inserted into the interlayers of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. Interestingly, we reduced effectively complex permittivity and enhanced magnetic loss by increasing the NiFe 2 O 4 content on Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene. Stronger electromagnetic attenuation ability and preferable impedance matching property were achieved and considered to be responsible mainly for improving absorbing peaks as well as bandwidth of the NiFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene composite. In particular, the NiFe 2 O 4 -Ti 3 C 2 T x -20 sample exhibited an optimal effective absorption bandwidth ( RL < −10 dB) of 7.68 GHz with the material thickness of only 1.5 mm. These findings are believed to pave the way of further promoting microwave absorption performance of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene from magnetic functionalized decoration of view.

Membrane fouling is still a critical issue for the application of ultrafiltration, which has been widely used in water treatment due to its efficiency and simplicity. In order to improve the antifouling property, a new 2D material MXene was used to fabricate composite ultrafiltration membrane with the approach of in situ embedment during the phase inversion process in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), water contact angle, bovine serum albumin rejection and porosity measurements were utilized to characterize the prepared membranes. Due to the hydrophilicity of the MXene, the composite membranes obtained higher hydrophilicity, confirmed by the decreased water contact angle. All the modified membranes had a high bovine serum albumin rejection above 90% while that of the pristine polysulfone membrane was 77.48%. The flux recovery ratio and the reversible fouling ratio of the membranes were also improved along with the increasing content of the MXene. Furthermore, the highest flux recovery ratio could also reach 76.1%. These indicated the good antifouling properties of MXene composite membranes. The enhanced water permeability and protein rejection and excellent antifouling properties make MXene a promising material for antifouling membrane modification.Keywords:MXene (Ti3C2Tx);polysulfone;hydrophilicity;ultrafiltration membrane;antifouling

Lightweight and compressible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding polymer nanocomposites are urgently required to solve increasingly serious electromagnetic pollutions. Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), especially Ti 3 C 2 T x , are ideal candidates for constructing highly efficient conduction networks in polymer matrices due to their intriguing layered structure and high electrical conductivity. Herein, compressible and electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated MXene foams are fabricated by preforming three-dimensional (3D) MXene aerogel architectures assisted with sodium alginate (SA) followed by coating a thin layer of PDMS to enhance structural stability and durability of the porous architectures. Consequently, the lightweight MXene/SA hybrid aerogel achieves an outstanding conductivity of 2211 S m −1 and a high average EMI shielding efficiency of 70.5 dB. Furthermore, the PDMS coating effectively endows the 3D conductance network with excellent compressibility and durability. The PDMS-coated MXene foam with 6.1 wt% of MXene reserves its high EMI shielding efficiency of 48.2 dB after 500 compression-release cycles. The lightweight, compressible and conductive PDMS-coated MXene foam is thus promising for applications in EMI shielding gaskets, wearable electronics, sensors and other specific areas.

Herein we report a simple and facile method to delaminate MXene Ti 3 C 2 multilayers by the assistance of surface modification using aryl diazonium salts. The basic strategy involved the preparation of layered MAX Ti 3 AlC 2 and the exfoliation of Ti 3 AlC 2 into Ti 3 C 2 multilayers, followed by Na + intercalation and surface modification using sulfanilic acid diazonium salts. The resulting chemically grafted Ti 3 C 2 flakes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to confirm the presence of the surface organic species. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy revealed that surface-modified MXene Ti 3 C 2 sheets disperse well in water and the solutions obey Lambert–Beer’s law. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to demonstrate the morphology and structure of delaminating MXene Ti 3 C 2 flakes. The results indicated that chemical modification for MXene multilayers by aryl diazonium salts induced swelling that conversely weakened the bonds between MX layers, hence leading to large-scale delamination of multilayered MXene Ti 3 C 2 via mild sonication. Advantages of the present approach rely not only on the simplicity and efficiency of the delamination procedure but also on the grafting of aryl groups to MXene surfaces, highly suitable for further applications of the newly discovered two-dimensional materials.

Herein, enhanced exfoliation and large-scale delamination of two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene using etchant of HCl + LiF, instead of HF, in which both etching and intercalation were achieved in exfoliation process, were thoroughly investigated with the focus on the effects of two critical factors, reaction temperature and washing solution. Increasing etching temperature promotes the exfoliation process, i.e., the transformation from Ti 3 AlC 2 to multilayer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, whereas simultaneously results in an aggravated surface oxidation of MXene layers formed after the extraction of Al. As a result, delamination ratio increases firstly and then decreases, and the samples etched at 35 °C show the highest delamination ratio. Compared with the distilled water, washing the exfoliation products using ethanol significantly improves the delamination ratio of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene by co-intercalation of larger alcohol molecule and more impurity ions and a large scale delamination of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene with a delamination ratio as high as 29.2% was obtained by simple sonication for 1 h, without additional intercalation step required, after washing using ethanol. The possible exfoliation reactions by HCl + LiF solution were proposed. Using the as-fabricated stable suspensions of delaminated Ti 3 C 2 T x flakes, flexible, free-standing Ti 3 C 2 T x papers with tailored thickness, hydrophilic surface and excellent conductivity, typically 2 × 10 5 S/m at 5 μm in thickness, were prepared. As anode for lithium ion batteries , the delaminated Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene obtained reversible capacities of 226.3 mAh g −1 , 137.9 mAh g −1 ,102.0 mAh g −1 and 47.9 mAh g −1 respectively at the current density of 100, 300, 1000 and 3000 mA g −1 , which are superior to those of the Ti 3 C 2 MXene prepared by conventional HF process.

Multifunctional wearable textiles can simulate human perception and convert it into visual data, which has advanced application prospects. As an important branch, thermal management wearable textiles have been widely concerned in the aspects of thermal insulation, flame retardant, photothermal anti-icing, electrothermal deicing and even water evaporation. Here, inspired by the bearing structure, we simply soaked the PET textile in Ag@MXene hybrid solution several times to form a Ag@MXene conductive network with Ag NPs as the connection point on the textile fiber, and finally carry out hydrophobic modification. Based on plasma effect, the synergistic action of Ag NPs and MXene enhances the photothermal response of the material. In addition, the addition of Ag NPs effectively reduces the stacking between MXene layers and forms a Ag@MXene conductive network with Ag NPs as the connection point on the textile fibers. The stable temperature range of PDMS/Ag@MXene PET textile is 70–80 °C under one solar illumination intensity, and the stable temperature of PDMS/Ag@MXene PET textile can reach 117 °C at a constant voltage of 3 V. Based on the excellent thermal effect, this textile achieves photothermal anti-icing, electric thermal de-icing, keeping warm and removing sweat. The textile has a water evaporation efficiency of about 0.58 g h −1 , which can achieve excellent anti-sweat function. Finally, the textile also achieved rapid flame retardant within 7 s. PDMS/Ag@MXene PET textile processes excellent photothermal and electrothermal conversion ability, acid/water stability and flame retardant ability, and has promising application prospects in thermal management textiles such as deicing and anti-icing, fire prevention, warmth and water evaporation.

Referred to as potential options for anodes in sodium-ion batteries, transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) exhibit unique electronic and structural characteristics. However, the limited electrical conductivity inherent in them poses a hindrance to electron transport, while their tendency to undergo volumetric expansion during cycling exacerbates structural instability, thereby imposing constraints on practical applications. Herein, a dual molten salt etching strategy followed by a sulfidation-selenidation process was employed to anchor multi-component sulfides FeS 2 /NiS and FeSe/NiSe onto conductive Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, achieving superior sodium storage performance. Owing to the enhanced Na⁺ and faster kinetics of electronic transport, mechanical strain is effectively reduced, and strong covalent interactions are formed at the interface, significant enhancement in the cycling stability is observed for the anodes of Ti 3 C 2 T x @FeS 2 /NiS and Ti 3 C 2 T x @FeSe/NiSe (with specific capacities of 309.4 and 162.6 mAh g −1 , respectively, after 1000 cycles at 5 A g −1 , with a former retention capacity rate that can reach as high as 87.8 %) and exceptional rate performance (252.1 and 207.8 mAh g −1 , respectively, at 8 A g −1 ). Furthermore, full cells assembled by pairing Ti 3 C 2 T x @FeS 2 /NiS and Ti 3 C 2 T x @FeSe/NiSe with Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 cathodes also demonstrate excellent cycling performance, with both configurations achieving up to 500 cycles. The suggested approach enables efficient utilization of byproducts from Lewis acidic etching, expanding possibilities for synthesizing high-performance anodes in sodium-ion batteries consisting of MXene and TMCs.

Transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) with excellent properties have broad prospects in electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA). In this paper, a unidirectional freeze-casting method was utilized to design a double-layer MXene absorber with orthogonal microstructures. The perpendicular and parallel samples (associated with the unidirectional freeze-casting direction), perform their respective roles in the designed double-layer absorber. The perpendicular sample with various attenuation techniques is employed as an electromagnetic wave attenuation layer, while the parallel sample with good impedance matching conditions is utilized as an impedance matching layer. Consequently, the entire absorber exhibits favorable EMA characteristics. Upon incidence of electromagnetic waves onto the parallel terminus, it is observed that the sample measuring 4.6 mm in thickness exhibits a minimal reflection loss (RLmin) of −60.8 dB at a frequency of 6.63 GHz, with a parallel end thickness accounting for 25%. In addition, the sample with a thickness of 2.6 mm displays a noteworthy maximal effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) amounting to 9.4 GHz, given a parallel end thickness of 20%. A thorough analysis of the impedance matching conditions and electromagnetic wave attenuation mechanisms of each sample reveals that the double-layer MXene absorbers with orthogonal microstructures can significantly increase the viability of MXenes in EMA.

Safety problems caused by organophosphorus pesticide (OP) residues are constantly occurring, so the development of new methods for the degradation and detection of OPs is of great scientific significance. In the present study, β-sheet peptides and β-hairpin peptides for catalyzing the hydrolysis of OPs were designed and synthesized. The peptide sequences with the highest hydrolytic activity (EHSGGVTVDPPLTVEHSAG) were screened by investigating the effect of the location of the active sites of the peptide and the peptide's structure on the degradation of OPs. In addition, the relationship between the peptides’ conformation and hydrolytic activity was further analyzed based on density functional theory calculations. The noncovalent interactions of the peptides with the OPs and the electrostatic potential on the molecular surface and molecular docking properties were also investigated. It was found that peptides with approximate active amino acids consisting of the catalytic triad and with the hairpin structure had enhanced hydrolytic activity toward the hydrolysis of OPs. To develop an electrochemical sensor technique to detect OPs, the conductive MXene (Ti3C2) material was first immobilized with a caffeic acid monolayer via enediol–metal complex chemistry and then bound with the β-hairpin peptide (EHSGGVTVDPPLTVEHSAG) via carboxy–amine condensation chemistry between the –COOH of caffeic acid and the –NH2 of the peptide to prepare a MXene–peptide composite. Then, the prepared composite was modified on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to construct an electrochemical sensor for the detection of OPs. The developed technique could be used to monitor OPs within 15 min with a two orders of linear working range and with a detection limit of 0.15 μM. Meanwhile, the sensor showed good reliability for the detection of OPs in real vegetables.

The fluorescence of L-Cys@Ti 3 C 2 MQDs can be effectively quenched by Ag + through a static quenching mechanism, demonstrating high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for Ag + detection. MXene quantum dots (MQDs), an emerging zero-dimensional nanomaterial, have garnered significant attention from researchers due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. In this study, cysteine-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal methods, resulting in the functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs exhibiting intense blue fluorescence attributed to size-dependent effects and surface defects. Furthermore, the cysteine-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent emission behavior and serve as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for Ag + detection with an impressive low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.015 μM. Moreover, they demonstrate exceptional sensitivity and selectivity in determining Ag + . This study presents a novel approach for the detection of Ag + and highlights the immense potential of cysteine-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 MQDs in environmental applications.
