As a typical hetero-MXene, Ti 3 CN MXene has attracted great attentions owing to its ultrafast carrier dynamic and unique nonlinear optical response. However, the photo-response of pristine Ti 3 CN is unsatisfied due to the fast carrier recombination. Herein, multi-layer Ti 3 CN MXene is modified with well-dispersed Bi quantum dots, where the Ti 3 CN@Bi heterojunction can not only tune the optical absorption but also introduce energy transfer channels. The built-in electric field endows Ti 3 CN@Bi self-powered response behavior and the performance can be further enhanced by tuning external conditions. As demonstrated, the Ti 3 CN@Bi-based photodetectors exhibit high photocurrent density (18.24 µA cm −2 ) and excellent photoresponsivity (18.32 mA W −1 ). In addition, the device shows fast response and outstanding stability (0.002% for each cycle), holding great potentials for practical applications. Hence, this work not only highlights the broad prospects of MXene-based heterojunction, but also provides great value for other optoelectronic device applications.

Graphical The adsorption capacity of Pb(II) ion for accordion-like Ti 3 CN Mxene is significantly increased after alkalization treatment. The maximum adsorption capacity of the alkalized Ti 3 CN MXene is up to 87.4 mg ⋅ g −1 , and the adsorption ratio reaches 96.6 %. The adsorption process is mainly controlled by chemical adsorption and belongs to surface monolayer adsorption. The presence of poisonous Pb(II) ions in water resources has raised global health concerns. Herein, the adsorption performance of accordion-like Ti 3 CN MXene for Pb(II) ions was investigated for the first time. Batch experiments were carried out by varying modifications, pH values, initial Pb(II) concentrations, adsorption time and temperatures. The results prove that the alkalized-Ti 3 CN shows enhanced adsorption performance. Although the temperature effect is insignificant, the Pb(II) adsorption is strongly pH-dependent. The maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity of alkalized −Ti 3 CN is about 2.5 times higher than that of activated carbon. The adsorption ratio of Pb(II) is up to 96.6 %. The adsorption capacity increases with increasing the initial concentration of Pb(II). The alkalized-Ti 3 CN adsorbs Pb(II) very quickly and the adsorption equilibrium is nearly achieved within 70 minutes. The adsorption follows the quasi-second-order kinetic model as well as the Langmuir model, and is mainly controlled by chemical adsorption. It is preliminarily concluded that Pb(II) replaces Na(I) of the −ONa functional groups on the alkalized-Ti 3 CN surfaces. This study proves the alkalized-Ti 3 CN MXene has potential application for the purification treatment of wastewater contaminated with Pb(II) ions.

Hydrogen production from water electrolysis is gaining interest as a source of renewable energy storage due to its high efficiency and low environmental impact. However, the slow kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) limits the overall efficiency of electrolyzer systems. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel electrocatalyst with a vertical structure, composed of Ti3CN MXene-modified NiFe-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) supported on nickel foam (NF) for efficient OER applications. The 1.0-LDH/3MXNF catalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity, achieving a low overpotential of 247 mV at a current density of 100 mA cm−2and a favorable Tafel slope of 67.7 mV/dec. This can be attributed to the transfer of excess electrons from Ti3CN MXene to NiFe-LDH, which reduces the oxidation states of Ni and Fe, resulting in a strong interfacial coupling between Ti3CN MXene and NiFe-LDHs. Additionally, the electrode exhibited exceptional stability, maintaining constant performance with minimal potential degradation over prolonged operation. These findings underscore the potential of hybrid LDH-MXene systems as advanced electrocatalysts for renewable energy applications, paving the way for further innovations in energy conversion technologies.

Owing to industrialization, the increased generation of electronic waste, and intensified metal ore and coal extraction activities, certain geographical areas are currently confronted with widespread selenium contamination in their groundwater. Consequently, there has been a considerable surge of interest in exploring techniques for selenium removal. In this study, we propose the utilization of single-layer dispersion of Ti 3 CN to facilitate the elimination of Se(Ⅳ). The results of the spectral analysis demonstrated that the removal of Se(Ⅳ) using Ti 3 CN occurs via a combined process of adsorption and reduction reactions. These two substances collaborated to create an inner sphere complex, which facilitated the reduction of Se(Ⅳ) to Se(0), ultimately resulting in the rapid formation of a co-precipitation product. The experimental results show that the adsorption capacity of Ti 3 CN for Se(Ⅳ) was notably sensitive to pH value, showing an adsorption capacity of 871.2 mg/g at pH 2. Furthermore, it was noted that the experimental results conformed well to the quasi-second-order kinetic model, with the Langmuir model effectively representing the adsorption isotherm data of Se(Ⅳ). This indicates that the process of Se(Ⅳ) removal by Ti 3 CN operates through chemical monolayer homogeneous adsorption. Notably, the presence of multiple ions revealed that only a selected few ions were able to impede the elimination of Se(Ⅳ). These findings underscore the potential of Ti 3 CN MXene as an efficient agent for treating selenium-containing wastewater.

The self-stacking of MXenes-Ti 3 CN limits the accessibility of nanochannels , reduces the ion diffusion kinetics, and hinders its application in alkali metal ion storage field. This study proposes a point-to-point mortise and tenon joining strategy to fabricate a composite structure of 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid-Ti 3 CN (1,4-PDEA-Ti 3 CN) by grafting rigid and flexible 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid (1,4-PDEA) into the amino-functionalized Ti 3 CN interlayers. The rigid and flexible 1,4-PDEA contributes to a pillar effect in the layered structure of Ti 3 CN, which is benefit to prevent the self-stacking and maintain a stable 2D layered structure. As a result, the interlayer spacing of Ti 3 CN is expanded from 1.20 to 1.46 nm and the Na + diffusion coefficient is improved from 1.16 × 10 −6 to 1.99 × 10 −6 cm 2 s −1 after point-to-point 1,4-PDEA grafting. The 1,4-PDEA-Ti 3 CN achieves a reversible discharge specific capacity of 202.3 mAh g −1 at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 after 770 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5 A g −1 , the 1,4-PDEA-Ti 3 CN still possesses a reversible discharge specific capacity of 137 mAh g −1 and it still maintains the high specific capacity of 256.1 mAh g −1 when the current density comes back to 0.1 A g −1 . This point-to-point mortise and tenon joining strategy provides a novel approach for designing other 2D energy storage materials with long cycle stability and high-rate capability.

In this paper, a novel dual-potential ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (RECL) sensor was constructed and applied to the ultrasensitive detection of kanamycin (KAN). The RECL sensor was constructed using porous graphite phase carbon nitride (PCN) and luminol, which serve as the luminescent reagents at the cathode and anode, respectively. PCN not only functioned as the luminescent reagent for the cathode but also served as a carrier for the Pt Au NPs. Simultaneously, Ti 3 CN acted as a carrier for the anode luminescent reagent, luminol, thereby enhancing the ECL signals at anode. Under optimal conditions, the ratio of the anode to cathode ECL signals (I luminol /I PCN ) showing excellent linear relationship with the logarithm of KAN concentration (lgC KAN ) within the range of 5.0 × 10 −14 to 5.0 × 10 −8 mol/L, with a detection limit as low as 1.67 × 10 −14 mol/L, making it suitable for detecting KAN in milk samples.

MgH2has a high hydrogen content of 7.6 wt% and possesses good reversibility under normal conditions. However, pristine MgH2requires a high temperature above 300 °C to release hydrogen, with very slow kinetics. In this work, we utilized Ti3CN MXene to reduce the operating temperature and enhance the kinetics of MgH2. The initial temperature of MgH2decomposition can be lowered from 322 °C for pristine MgH2to 214 °C through the employment of Ti3CN. The desorbed MgH2+ 7.5 wt% Ti3CN can start absorption at room temperature, while the desorbed pristine MgH2can only start absorption at 120 °C. The employment of Ti3CN can significantly improve the hydrogen release kinetics of MgH2, with the desorption activation energy decreasing from 121 to 80 kJ mol−1. Regarding thermodynamics, the desorption enthalpy changes of MgH2and MgH2+ 7.5 wt% Ti3CN were 79.3 and 78.8 kJ mol−1, respectively. This indicates that the employment of Ti3CN does not alter the thermal stability of MgH2. Phase evolution studies through the use of X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction both confirm that Ti3CN remains stable during the hydrogen release and uptake process of the composite. This work will help understand the impact of a transition metal carbonitride on the hydrogen storage of MgH2.

Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) has been prevalently applied in UV-photodetection due to its wide band gap. However, further application is hindered by its low light utilization efficiency and fast carrier recombination. In this work, a 2D-2D Ti 3 CN@BiOCl heterojunction was constructed to broaden the light absorption and increase the carrier mobility. A small amount of hole scavengers was utilized to suppress the carrier recombination. According to DFT calculations, the electron transfer occurs from MXene to BiOCl and is subsequently converted into an electrical signal. The photo-response performance of Ti 3 CN@BiOCl was systematically investigated, where an optimized photocurrent density as high as 47.17 µA∙cm − 2 and a photoresponsivity of 12.50 mA/W could be achieved. Furthermore, Ti 3 CN@BiOCl was found to exhibit a broad-band and fast response (~ 0.04 s), and excellent long-term stability (~ 0.005% decrement for each cycle). This work highlights promising prospects of Ti 3 CN@BiOCl heterojunctions for use in photodetection, which also hold great potential for other types of optoelectronic devices.

Sodium alanate has a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 5.6 wt% at relatively mild conditions, but it is limited in practical use because of low reaction rates and the phase separation of the reaction product. In this study, to enhance the hydrogen storage ability of sodium alanate, a one-step hydrogen pressure ball milling process was used to introduce the MXene-based carbonitride, Ti 3 CN, and its catalytic modification ability was compared to that of Ti 3 C 2 on sodium alanate. The onset and peak hydrogen desorption temperatures of NaAlH 4 decreased significantly from 176.9 /203.3 °C to 76.8/129.3 °C, and the activation energies for the two-step dehydrogenation process were reduced from 118/159 kJ/mol (pure NaAlH 4 ) to 42/72 kJ/mol. In an isothermal condition at 100 °C, the composite material desorbed 3.30 wt% hydrogen within one hour, and the capacity retention rate kept as high as 93.7% after ten cycles of hydrogen absorption and desorption. It can be obtained that Ti 3 CN maintained its layered structure during the process of ball milling, and there possessed multiple active sites, such as Ti 3 CN, Ti 0 and TiAl. Moreover, TiAl nanointermetallic phases were found to be in situ generated during the cycling process. TiAl displayed a reversible “hydrogen pump” property, acting as nucleation sites to promote the adsorption and desorption of hydrogen. At the same time, the MXene lattice promoted the dispersion of aluminum and the prevention of phase separation. The support stability provided by Ti 3 CN and the coupled catalytic ability of TiAl and Ti 0 phases significantly improved the hydrogen desorption rate and cycling performance of NaAlH 4 at low temperature. These results are valuable to the construction of an efficient solid hydrogen storage system.

Radiation pneumonitis (RP), a major dose-limiting toxicity of thoracic radiotherapy, is primarily driven by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and proinflammatory macrophage activation, yet effective therapeutic strategies remain unavailable. Herein, we constructed Ti 3 CN nanosheets (Ti 3 CN NSs) via HF etching followed by ultrasonic exfoliation, enabling potent catalytic ROS scavenging and immunomodulatory activities. Leveraging their intrinsic antioxidative properties, Ti 3 CN NSs were systematically evaluated across cell, mice, and lung organoid models, demonstrating robust elimination of radiation-induced ROS and restoration of pulmonary redox homeostasis. Transcriptome sequencing combined with pathway enrichment analysis revealed that Ti 3 CN NSs alleviated radiation-induced macrophage ferroptosis, thereby rebalancing macrophage polarization by suppressing M1 and promoting M2 polarization. In vivo , Ti 3 CN NSs attenuated RP progression and facilitated structural repair of injured lung tissue. Collectively, this work proposes a nanomaterial-based strategy for the prevention and treatment of RP, and highlights the critical roles of macrophage polarization and ferroptosis in radiation-induced pulmonary inflammation.

MXenes is considered as one of the most potential sodium ions storage materials due to its superior metallic conductivity, abundant surface functional groups, extensive specific surface area, and tunable interlayer spacing. Nevertheless, its practical application is hindered by severe volumetric expansion/shrinkage and slow sodium ions diffusion during sodium ions insertion/extraction process. Herein, a novel organic acid molecules bridging strategy is reported to stabilize layered structure and adjust the interlayer spacing of Ti 3 CN, which is realized by bridging organic acid molecules (named as TOAA) into Ti 3 CN interlayers (named as Ti 3 CN-TOAA) to form strong amido (HN C=O) bonds. The carbonyl groups of TOAA molecules can not only provide active sites for sodium ions storage, but also inhibit volumetric expansion/shrinkage by providing strain/pillar effects within the Ti 3 CN interlayers, achieving stable and rapid sodium ions storage. Consequently, the interlayer spacing of Ti 3 CN-TOAA (1.42 nm) is enlargered compared with that of Ti 3 CN (1.22 nm), while the sodium ions migration barrier of Ti 3 CN-TOAA is reduced by 0.09 eV Ti 3 CN-TOAA demonstrates superior cycling stability (the capacity retention remains at 83.2% after 2000 cycles at 0.5 A g -1 ) and rate capability (2.5 times the capacity of pristine Ti 3 CN at 5.0 A g -1 ). Significantly, the Ti 3 CN-TOAA||AC sodium ions capacitor (SIC) exhibits excellent cycling stability, retaining 79.3% of its capacity after 8000 cycles at 1.0 A g -1 . This work presents a novel approach to achieving stable and rapid sodium ions storage by stabilizing layered structure and adjusting interlayer spacing.

Photocatalytic water splitting for green H 2 offers a renewable-energy route, yet efficiency is still limited by poor charge separation and slow reaction kinetics. Here, we report a 2D/2D Ti 3 CN/g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction with a built-in electric field, synthesized via Lewis acid molten-salt etching and electrostatic self-assembly. The heterojunction promotes directional electron transfer from g-C 3 N 4 to Ti 3 CN, while Ru nanoparticles further enhance charge density and reduce the reaction barrier. The optimized Ru/Ti 3 CN/g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst delivers a H 2 evolution rate of 4254 μmol g −1 ·h −1 under visible light, 200 times higher than pristine g-C₃N₄, with excellent cycling stability. Experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that the synergistic effects of the polarized interface and Ru cocatalyst significantly improve charge separation and H 2 adsorption kinetics. This work offering a practical route to couple MXene co-catalysts with polarization-induced built-in electric fields for markedly accelerating solar-driven H 2 production.
