Abstract
Polymeric nanocomposites have been outstanding functional materials and have garnered immense attention as sustainable materials to address multi-disciplinary problems. MXenes have emerged as a newer class of 2D materials that produce metallic conductivity upon interaction with hydrophilic species, and their delamination affords monolayer nanoplatelets of a thickness of about one nm and a side size in the micrometer range. Delaminated MXene has a high aspect ratio, making it an alluring nanofiller for multifunctional polymer nanocomposites. Herein, we have classified and discussed the structure, properties and application of major polysaccharide-based electroactive hydrogels (hyaluronic acid (HA), alginate sodium (SA), chitosan (CS) and cellulose) in biomedical applications, starting with the brief historical account of MXene’s development followed by successive discussions on the synthesis methods, structures and properties of nanocomposites encompassing polysaccharides and MXenes, including their biomedical applications, cytotoxicity and biocompatibility aspects. Finally, the MXenes and their utility in the biomedical arena is deliberated with an eye on potential opportunities and challenges anticipated for them in the future, thus promoting their multifaceted applications.

Abstract
Constructing an efficient photoelectron transfer channel to promote the charge carrier separation is a great challenge for enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water. In this work, an ultrathin 2D/2D Ti3 C2 Tx /ZnIn2 S4 heterostructure is rationally designed by coupling the ultrathin ZnIn2 S4 with few-layered Ti3 C2 Tx via the electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The 2D/2D Ti3 C2 Tx /ZnIn2 S4 heterostructure possesses larger contact area and strong electronic interaction to promote the charge carrier transfer at the interface, and the sulfur vacancy on the ZnIn2 S4 acting as the electron trap further enhances the separation of the photoinduced electrons and holes. As a consequence, the optimal 2D/2D Ti3 C2 Tx /ZnIn2 S4 composite exhibits a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 148.4 µmol h-1 , which is 3.6 times and 9.2 times higher than that of ZnIn2 S4 nanosheet and flower-like ZnIn2 S4 , respectively. Moreover, the stability of the ZnIn2 S4 is significantly improved after coupling with the few-layered Ti3 C2 Tx . The characterizations and density functional theory calculation demonstrate that the synergistic effect of the sulfur vacancy and Ti3 C2 Tx cocatalyst can greatly promote the electrons transfer from ZnIn2 S4 to Ti3 C2 Tx and the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, thus enhancing the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water.

Abstract
As the tear is noninvasively and continuously available, it has been turned into a convenient biological interface as a wearable medical device for out-of-hospital and self-monitoring applications. Recent progress in integrated circuits (ICs) and biosensors coupled with wireless data communication techniques have led to the implementation of smart contact lenses that can continuously sample tear fluid, analyze physiological conditions, and wirelessly transmit data to an electronic device such as smartphone, which can send data to relevant healthcare units. Continuous analyte monitoring is one of the significant characteristics of wearable biosensors. However, despite several advantages over other on-skin wearable medical devices, batteries cannot be incorporated on smart contact lenses for continuous electrical power supply due to the limited area. Herein, we review the progress of power delivery techniques of smart contact lenses for the first time. Different approaches, including wireless power transmission (WPT), biofuel cells, supercapacitors, flexible batteries, wired connections, and hybrid methods, are thoroughly discussed to understand the principles of self-sustainable contact lens biosensors comprehensively. Additionally, recent progress in contact lens biosensors is reviewed in detail, thereby providing the prospects for further developments of smart contact lenses as a common biosensing platform for various disease monitoring and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
MXenes, an emerging class of two-dimensional materials, exhibit characteristics that promise significant potential for their use in next generation optoelectronic sensors. An interplay between interband transitions and boundary effects offer the potential to tune the plasma frequencies over a large spectral range from the near-infrared to the mid-infrared. This tuneability along with the 'layered' nature of the material not only offer the flexibility to produce plasmon resonances across a wide range of wavelengths, but also add a degree of freedom to the sensing mechanism by allowing the plasma frequency to be modulated. Here we show, numerically, that MXenes can support plasmons in the telecommunications frequency range and that surface plasmon resonances can be excited on a standard MXene coated side polished optical fiber. Thus, presenting the tantalising prospect of highly selective distributed optical fiber sensor networks.

Abstract
Structural energy storage devices (SESDs), designed to simultaneously store electrical energy and withstand mechanical loads, offer great potential to reduce the overall system weight in applications such as automotive, aircraft, spacecraft, marine and sports equipment. The greatest improvements will come from systems that implement true multifunctional materials as fully as possible. The realization of electrochemical SESDs therefore requires the identification and development of suitable multifunctional structural electrodes, separators, and electrolytes. Different strategies are available depending on the class of electrochemical energy storage device and the specific chemistries selected. Here, we review existing attempts to build SESDs around carbon fiber (CF) composite electrodes, including the use of both organic and inorganic compounds to increase electrochemical performance. We consider some of the key challenges and discuss the implications for the selection of device chemistries.

Abstract
Transparent flexible supercapacitors (TFSCs) are a tantalizing power supplier for future transparent flexible electronics. However, their energy density is far behind a practical level while maintaining high transparency. We report here a transparent flexible potassium-ion microcapacitor, and its high energy density (15.5 μWh cm-2) roots in the battery-supercapacitor hybrid storage mechanism and much enlarged working voltage (3 V), outperforming the state-of-the-art TFSC, which is generally based on an aqueous electrolyte and an asymmetric pseudocapacitive mechanism. From an electrode material perspective, a multidimensional topotactic host composite anode is designed in which the component not only performs energy storage by synchronous and reversible uptake of potassium ions and electrons into its host structure, but also mutually compensates individual weakness in functional and structural aspects, efficiently constructing a three-dimensional potassium-ion diffusion and electron transport system. This conceptual exhibition provides design principles at material and device levels for high-performance TFSCs.

Abstract
Natural fabrics are gradually becoming the ideal substrate for flexible smart wearable devices due to their excellent moisture absorption, softness, and skin-friendliness. However, the bonding fastness of the conductive layer and the corresponding durability during service have not yet been well satisfied. In this report, we successfully prepared a smart wearable multifunctional protective cotton fabric with microbreathing monitoring and rapid-photothermal antibacterial abilities of Cinnamomum camphora bark microstructure, by combining chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HACC) with MXene nanosheets through electrostatic self-assembly. Impressively, MXene nanosheets and HACC established a strong interaction using the electrostatic attraction, endowing the fiber surface with ordered nanosheets. Meanwhile, the fabric decorated with MXene/HACC retains its original characteristics of outstanding breathability and softness, and its conductivity exhibits noticeable stability in terms of resistances to oxidation, washing, various solvents, and long-term bending cycles. On the basis of the principle of adsorption and release of water molecules in the MXene multilayer structures, the MXene/HACC fabric could accurately monitor the physiological health activities of users according to their breathing frequency and depth. Benefiting from the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, the MXene/HACC shows encouraging photothermal conversion ability, photothermal stability under long time irradiation, washing resistance, and cycle stability. In addition, the fabric achieved an antibacterial efficiency of nearly 100% against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus within 5 min under an irradiation intensity of 400 mW/cm2. More importantly, after 10 washes, the antibacterial efficiency against the two bacteria could still reach 99.975% and 99.98%, respectively. This multifunctional protective MXene/HACC cotton fabric is expected to play a unique role in the new generation of smart wearable microbreathing sensing and against to bacterial attack, and shows a broad application prospect.

Abstract
MXenes are layered two-dimensional (2D) materials discovered in 2011 (Ti3C2X) and are otherwise called 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. These 2D layered materials have been in the limelight for a decade due to their interesting properties such as large surface area, high ion transport, biocompatibility, and low diffusion barrier. Therefore, MXenes are widely preferred by researchers for applications in electronics, sensing, biosensing, electrocatalysis, super-capacitors and fuel cells. There are a number of methods available for the bulk synthesis of MXene-based nanomaterials. In addition, the possibility of structural modification as required and its outstanding surface chemistry offer a fascinating interface for the development of novel biosensors. In this review, we specifically discuss important MXene synthesis routes. Moreover, critical parameters such as surface functionalization that can dictate the mechanical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of MXenes are also discussed. Following this, methods available for the surface functionalization and modification strategies of MXenes are also discussed. Furthermore, the emergence of gas, electrochemical, and optical biosensors based on MXenes since its first report is discussed in detail. Finally, future directions of MXenes biosensors for critical applications are discussed.

Abstract
As interest continues to grow in Ti3C2Tx and other related MXenes, advancement in methods of manipulation of their surface functional groups beyond synthesis-based surface terminations (Tx: -F, -OH, and ═O) can provide mechanisms to enhance solution processability as well as produce improved solid-state device architectures and coatings. Here, we report a chemically important surface modification approach in which "solvent-like" polymers, polyethylene glycol carboxylic acid (PEG6-COOH), are covalently attached onto MXenes via esterification chemistry. Surface modification of Ti3C2Tx with PEG6-COOH with large ligand loading (up to 14% by mass) greatly enhances dispersibility in a wide range of nonpolar organic solvents (e.g., 2.88 mg/mL in chloroform) without oxidation of Ti3C2Tx two-dimensional flakes or changes in the structure ordering. Furthermore, cooperative interactions between polymer chains improve the nanoscale assembly of uniform microstructures of stacked MXene-PEG6 flakes into ordered thin films with excellent electrical conductivity (∼16,200 S·cm-1). Most importantly, our covalent surface modification approach with ω-functionalized PEG6 ligands (ω-PEG6-COOH, where ω: -NH2, -N3, -CH═CH2) allows for control over the degree of functionalization (incorporation of valency) of MXene. We believe that installing valency onto MXenes through short, ion conducting PEG ligands without compromising MXenes' features such as solution processability, structural stability, and electrical conductivity further enhance MXenes surface chemistry tunability and performance and widens their applications.

Abstract
We report hierarchical-ordered ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx MXene core-sheath fibers, in which a ZIF-L(Zn) nanowall array sheath is grown vertically on an anisotropic Ti3 C2 Tx core by Ti-O-Zn/Ti-F-Zn chemical bonds. Through highly efficient microfluidic assembly and microchannel reactions, ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibits well-developed micro-/mesoporosity, ordered ionic pathways, fast interfacial electron conduction and large-scale fabrication, significantly boosting charges dynamic transport and intercalation. The resultant ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx fiber presents large capacitance (1700 F cm-3 ) and outstanding rate performance in a 1 M H2 SO4 electrolyte. Additionally, ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx fiber-based solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors deliver high energy density (19.0 mWh cm-3 ), excellent capacitance (854 F cm-3 ), large deformable/wearable capabilities and long-time cyclic stability (20 000 cycles), which realize natural sunlight-induced self-powered applications to drive water level/earthquake alarm devices.

Abstract
MXenes have attracted great interests as supercapacitors due to their metallic conductivity, high density, and hydrophilic nature. Herein we report Ti3 C2 -Cu/Co hybrids via molten salt etching in which the existence of metal atoms and their interactions with MXene via surficial O atoms were elucidated by XAFS for the first time. The electrochemical investigation of Ti3 C2 -Cu electrode demonstrated the pseudocapacitive contribution of Cu and a splendid specific capacitance of 885.0 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 in 1.0 M H2 SO4 . Symmetric supercapacitor Ti3 C2 -Cu//Ti3 C2 -Cu was demonstrated with operating voltage of 1.6 V, areal capacitance of 290.5 mF cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2 , and stability over 10 000 cycles. It delivered an areal energy density of 103.3 μWh cm-2 at power density of 0.8 mW cm-2 , based on which a supercapacitor pouch was fabricated. It provides deeper insights into the molten salt mechanism and strategies for designing MXene-based materials for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
The application of traditional electrode materials for high-performance capacitive deionization (CDI) has been persistently limited by their low charge-storage capacities, excessive co-ion expulsion and slow salt removal rates. Here we report a bottom-up approach to the preparation of a two-dimensional (2D) Ti3 C2 Tx MXene-polydopamine heterostructure having ordered in-plane mesochannels (denoted as mPDA/MXene). Interfacial self-assembly of mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) monolayers on MXene nanosheets leads to the mPDA/MXene heterostructure, which exhibits several unique features: (1) MXene undergoes reversible ion intercalation/deintercalation and possesses high conductivity; (2) mPDA layers establish redox capacitive characteristics and Na+ selectivity, and also help to prevent self-stacking and oxidation of MXene; (3) in-plane mesochannels enable the smooth transport of ions at the internal spaces of this stacked 2D material. When applied as an electrode material for CDI, mPDA/MXene nanosheets exhibit top-level CDI performance and cycling stability compared to those of the so far reported 2D materials. Our study opens an avenue for the rational construction of MXene-organic hybrid heterostructures, and further motivates the development of high-performance CDI electrode materials.

Abstract
MXene is recognized as an ideal material for sensitive wearable strain sensors because of its unique advantages of conductivity, hydrophilicity and mechanical properties. However, conventional hydrogel sensors utilizing MXene as a conductive material inevitably encounter the excessive accumulation of MXene nanosheets during the process of synthesis, which limits the electron transmission, reduces the conductivity, and concurrently weakens the mechanical capability and sensitivity of sensors. Herein, we construct a dispersion-enhanced MXene hydrogel (DEMH) through a chitosan-induced self-assembly strategy for the first time. Charge transfer is carried out through the flow of a material or a collection of material microstructures, and thus the highly interconnected 3D MXene@Chitosan network provides fast transport channels for electrons, and the DEMH exhibits excellent conductivity and sensibility simultaneously. Besides, the electrostatic self-assembly between MXene and chitosan, and the supramolecular interactions between MXene, chitosan and polyacrylamide chain segment result in excellent mechanical strength (of up to 1900%) and flexibility of DEMH. Furthermore, the introduction of chitosan which possesses a high density of positively charged groups and MXene with semiconducting properties also endows sensor versatility, such as self-adhesion properties and antibacterial activity. This work develops a simple and cut-price strategy for combining MXene unaggregated into a hydrogel as a sensor with high conductivity, sensibility and flexibility. A simple and inexpensive strategy for avoiding self-stacking of two-dimensional conductive materials is proposed, which paves the way for a broad range of applications in electronic skin, human motion detection and intelligent devices.

Abstract
Since the first discovery of Ti3C2 in 2011, two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, carbonitrides and nitrides, known as MXenes, have attracted significant attention. Due to their outstanding electronic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties, versatile structures and surface chemistries, Ti3C2 MXenes have emerged as new candidates with great potential for applications in optoelectronic devices, such as photovoltaics, photodetectors and photoelectrochemical devices. The excellent metallic conductivity, high anisotropic carrier mobility, good structural and chemical stabilities, high optical transmittance, excellent mechanical strength, tunable work functions, and wide range of optical absorption properties of Ti3C2 MXene nanostructures are the key to their success in a number of electronic and photonic device applications. Herein, we summarize the fundamental properties and preparation of pure Ti3C2 MXenes, functionalized Ti3C2 MXenes and their hybrid nanocomposites, as well as their optoelectronic applications. In the end, the perspective and current challenges of Ti3C2 MXenes toward the development of advanced MXene-based nanostructures are briefly discussed for future optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
In this work, Ti3C2, which has a loosely packed accordion-like structure in transition metal carbide (MXene) form, is fabricated and adsorbed by three metal ions (Fe3+/Co2+/Ni2+). The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance of Ti3C2 and Ti3C2:Fe3+/Co2+/Ni2+ films is researched in detail, demonstrating that the EMI shielding effectiveness can be improved by adsorbing by Fe3+/Co2+/Ni2+ ions because the metal ion adsorbing can improve the absorption efficiency via electromagnetic wave scattering. The studied Ti3C2:Fe3+/Co2+/Ni2+ films can be used as good EMI shielding materials for communications, electronics, military, and other applications.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand on developing layered materials for practical applications, such as electrochemical energy storage, responsive materials, nanofluidics, and environmental remediation, requires the profound understanding and artful exploitation of interlayer engineering or intercalation chemistry. The past decade has witnessed the massive exploration of a recently discovered 2D material-transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (referred to as MXenes), which began to take hold of a myriad of applications owing to the abundant possibilities on their compositions and intercalation states. However, application-targeted manipulation of the material performance of MXenes is constrained by the dearth of deep comprehension on fundamental intercalation chemistry/physics. To this end, the aim of this review is to provide a holistic discussion on the intercalation chemistry in MXenes and the physical properties of MXene intercalation compounds. On the basis of this, potential solutions for the challenges confronted in the synthesis, tuning of material properties, and practical applications are proposed, which are also expected to reinvigorate the exploration of layered materials that are similar to MXenes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets have emerged as a promising material for transparent, flexible micro-supercapacitors, but their use in electrodes is hindered by their poor electrical conductivity and cycling stability because of restacking. In this paper, we report a novel electrode architecture to exploit electrochemical activity of MoS2 nanosheets. Electrochemically exfoliated MoS2 dispersion was spin coated on mesh-like silver networks encapsulated with a flexible conducting film exhibiting a pseudocapacitive behavior. MoS2 nanosheets were electrochemically active over the whole electrode surface and the conductive layer provided a pathway to transport electrons between the MoS2 and the electrolyte. As the result, the composite electrode achieved a large areal capacitance (89.44 mF cm-2 at 6 mA cm-2) and high energy and power densities (12.42 µWh cm-2 and P = 6043 µW cm-2 at 6 mA cm-2) in a symmetric cell configuration with 3 M KOH solution while exhibiting a high optical transmittance of ~80%. Because the system was stable against mechanical bending and charge/discharge cycles, a flexible micro-supercapacitor that can power electronics at different bending states was realized.

Abstract
ZnS has great potentials as an anode for lithium storage because of its high theoretical capacity and resource abundance; however, the large volume expansion accompanied with structural collapse and low conductivity of ZnS cause severe capacity fading and inferior rate capability during lithium storage. Herein, 0D-2D ZnS nanodots/Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrids are prepared by anchoring ZnS nanodots on Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets through coordination modulation between MXene and MOF precursor (ZIF-8) followed with sulfidation. The MXene substrate coupled with the ZnS nanodots can synergistically accommodate volume variation of ZnS over charge-discharge to realize stable cyclability. As revealed by XPS characterizations and DFT calculations, the strong interfacial interaction between ZnS nanodots and MXene nanosheets can boost fast electron/lithium-ion transfer to achieve excellent electrochemical activity and kinetics for lithium storage. Thereby, the as-prepared ZnS nanodots/MXene hybrid exhibits a high capacity of 726.8 mAh g-1 at 30 mA g-1, superior cyclic stability (462.8 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1), and excellent rate performance. The present results provide new insights into the understanding of the lithium storage mechanism of ZnS and the revealing of the effects of interfacial interaction on lithium storage performance enhancement.

Abstract
Soft bioelectronic interfaces for mapping and modulating excitable networks at high resolution and at large scale can enable paradigm-shifting diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment strategies. Yet, current technologies largely rely on materials and fabrication schemes that are expensive, do not scale, and critically limit the maximum attainable resolution and coverage. Solution processing is a cost-effective manufacturing alternative, but biocompatible conductive inks matching the performance of conventional metals are lacking. Here, we introduce MXtrodes, a class of soft, high-resolution, large-scale bioelectronic interfaces enabled by Ti3C2 MXene (a two-dimensional transition metal carbide nanomaterial) and scalable solution processing. We show that the electrochemical properties of MXtrodes exceed those of conventional materials and do not require conductive gels when used in epidermal electronics. Furthermore, we validate MXtrodes in applications ranging from mapping large-scale neuromuscular networks in humans to cortical neural recording and microstimulation in swine and rodent models. Last, we demonstrate that MXtrodes are compatible with standard clinical neuroimaging modalities.

Abstract
The intercalation of cations into layered-structure electrode materials has long been studied in depth for energy storage applications. In particular, Li+ -, Na+ -, and K+ -based cation transport in energy storage devices such as batteries and electrochemical capacitors is closely related to the capacitance behavior. We have exploited different sizes of cations from aqueous salt electrolytes intercalating into a layered Nb2 CTx electrode in a supercapacitor for the first time. As a result, we have demonstrated that capacitive performance was dependent on cation intercalation behavior. The interlayer spacing expansion of the electrode material can be observed in Li2 SO4 , Na2 SO4 , and K2 SO4 electrolytes with d-spacing. Additionally, our results showed that the Nb2 CTx electrode exhibited higher electrochemical performance in the presence of Li2 SO4 than in that of Na2 SO4 and K2 SO4 . This is partly because the smaller-sized Li+ transports quickly and intercalates between the layers of Nb2 CTx easily. Poor ion transport in the Na2 SO4 electrolyte limited the electrode capacitance and presented the lowest electrochemical performance, although the cation radius follows Li+ >Na+ >K+ . Our experimental studies provide direct evidence for the intercalation mechanism of Li+ , Na+ , and K+ on the 2D layered Nb2 CTx electrode, which provides a new path for exploring the relationship between intercalated cations and other MXene electrodes.

Abstract
Flexible and stretchable supercapacitors (FS-SCs) are promising energy storage devices for wearable electronics due to their versatile flexibility/stretchability, long cycle life, high power density, and safety. Transition metal compounds (TMCs) can deliver a high capacitance and energy density when applied as pseudocapacitive or battery-like electrode materials owing to their large theoretical capacitance and faradaic charge-storage mechanism. The recent development of TMCs (metal oxides/hydroxides, phosphides, sulfides, nitrides, and selenides) as electrode materials for FS-SCs are discussed here. First, fundamental energy-storage mechanisms of distinct TMCs, various flexible and stretchable substrates, and electrolytes for FS-SCs are presented. Then, the electrochemical performance and features of TMC-based electrodes for FS-SCs are categorically analyzed. The gravimetric, areal, and volumetric energy density of SC using TMC electrodes are summarized in Ragone plots. More importantly, several recent design strategies for achieving high-performance TMC-based electrodes are highlighted, including material composition, current collector design, nanostructure design, doping/intercalation, defect engineering, phase control, valence tuning, and surface coating. Integrated systems that combine wearable electronics with FS-SCs are introduced. Finally, a summary and outlook on TMCs as electrodes for FS-SCs are provided.

Abstract
Among various available materials used in transparent and flexible devices, MXenes are attracting attention as a brand-new candidate in this category. Ti3C2Tx MXene as a 2D material has exceptional properties, making it a potential material having numerous applications in different areas. Because of its high conductivity, it can be used in transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs). In this study, the MXenes etched by highly concentrated acid at 50 °C,were spin-coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and annealed at moderate temperatures up to 170 °C. The adhesion of MXene to PET was found to be remarkably improved by annealing. These TCEs exhibited a sheet resistance of ∼424 Ω/sq. and transmittance of ∼87%. The aging stability of MXene-coated PET films against oxidation under ambient conditions was studied up to 28 days and resistance change was found ∼30% during this period. The flexibility test showed low bending resistance change (∼1.5%) at 1000th cycle and cumulative resistance change of ∼20% at a bending radius of ∼3.9 mm after 1000 cycles. These transparent, flexible, and conducting electrodes were used to fabricate polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)-based flexible smart windows. The smart windows fabricated by curing PDLC mixture sandwiched between the MXene electrodes were also found flexible in ON/OFF states. The MXene-based flexible smart windows resulted in good opacity in the OFF state and high transparency in the ON state, exhibiting low threshold voltage <10 V and high transmittance ∼80% at 60 V. The flexible smart windows operated normally even at ∼4 mm bending radius.

[PMID: 33930254 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202100199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The emerging field of implantable bioelectronics has attracted widespread attention in modern society because it can improve treatment outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and lead to an improvement in the quality of life. However, their continuous operation is often limited by conventional bulky and rigid batteries with a limited lifespan, which must be surgically removed after completing their missions and/or replaced after being exhausted. Herein, this paper gives a comprehensive review of recent advances in nonconventional energy solutions for implantable bioelectronics, emphasizing the miniaturized, flexible, biocompatible, and biodegradable power devices. According to their source of energy, the promising alternative energy solutions are sorted into three main categories, including energy storage devices (batteries and supercapacitors), internal energy-harvesting devices (including biofuel cells, piezoelectric/triboelectric energy harvesters, thermoelectric and biopotential power generators), and external wireless power transmission technologies (including inductive coupling/radiofrequency, ultrasound-induced, and photovoltaic devices). Their fundamentals, materials strategies, structural design, output performances, animal experiments, and typical biomedical applications are also discussed. It is expected to offer complementary power sources to extend the battery lifetime of bioelectronics while acting as an independent power supply. Thereafter, the existing challenges and perspectives associated with these powering devices are also outlined, with a focus on implantable bioelectronics.

Abstract
As a new member in two-dimensional materials family, transition metal carbides (TMCs) have many excellent properties, such as chemical stability, in-plane anisotropy, high conductivity and flexibility, and remarkable energy conversation efficiency, which predispose them for promising applications as transparent electrode, flexible electronics, broadband photodetectors and battery electrodes. However, up to now, their device applications are in the early stage, especially because their controllable synthesis is still a great challenge. This review systematically summarized the state-of-the-art research in this rapidly developing field with particular focus on structure, property, synthesis and applicability of TMCs. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives are outlined for the application of 2D TMCs.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors using neutral aqueous electrolytes are safer and cheaper and allow diverse current collectors compared with the counterparts using organic or acidic/alkaline electrolytes. Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes have been demonstrated as the high-capacitive materials with high rate performance. However, MXene electrodes often exhibit a limited capacitance in neutral electrolytes, where the reversible electrochemical reactions rely greatly on the structural and surface properties of MXenes depending on their synthesis methods. Herein, a simple and highly efficient strategy, which combines HF etching of Ti3AlC2 powder and subsequent amine-assisted delamination at a low temperature, is developed to synthesize 2D Ti3C2Tx MXenes. The comprehensive results demonstrate that the enlarged interlayer spacing and the presence of more -O-containing functional groups synergistically contribute to the improvement of capacitive performance in neutral electrolytes. The 2D Ti3C2Tx MXenes show excellent electrochemical performance in various neutral electrolytes, and a high specific gravimetric capacitance of 149.8 F/g is achieved in 1.0 M Li2SO4. Furthermore, the flexible solid-state supercapacitors (SCs) with a neutral PVA/LiCl gel electrolyte possess a superior areal capacitance (163.1 mF/cm2) and high energy density (17.6 μWh/cm2 at 0.07 mW/cm2), together with high user safety. This work provides a promising guideline of synthesis strategy for high-capacitive MXenes used in neutral electrolytes, which may promote the development of safe and flexible power sources with a high energy density.

Abstract
Supercapacitors have received considerable attention as energy storage devices owing to their high power density, fast charge/discharge rate, and long cyclic life. Especially with an increasing demand for flexible and wearable devices, research on flexible supercapacitors has surged in recent years. The silver nanowire (Ag NW) network has been used as a flexible electrode owing to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties; however, its use as an electrode for flexible supercapacitors has been limited due to insufficient electrochemical stability. In this study, we proposed a method to resolve this issue. We employed a solution process that enabled the coating of the surface of Ag NW by a thin Au shell of ≈ 5 nm thickness, which significantly improved the electrochemical stability of the Ag NW network electrodes. Furthermore, we confirmed for the first time that MnO2, which is one of the most widely used capacitive materials, can be directly electroplated on the AACS NW network electrode. Finally, we fabricated a high-performance and flexible solid-state supercapacitor using the suggested Ag/Au/MnO2 core–shell NW network electrodes.

Abstract
A self-powered, high-performance Ti3 C2 Tx MXene/GaN van der Waals heterojunction (vdWH)-based ultraviolet (UV) photodiode is reported. Such integration creates a Schottky junction depth that is larger than the UV absorption depth to sufficiently separate the photoinduced electron/hole pairs, boosting the peak internal quantum efficiency over the unity and the external quantum efficiency over 99% under weak UV light without bias. The proposed Ti3 C2 Tx /GaN vdWH UV photodiode demonstrates pronounced photoelectric performances working in self-powered mode, including a large responsivity (284 mA W-1 ), a high specific detectivity (7.06 × 1013 Jones), and fast response speed (rise/decay time of 7.55 µs/1.67 ms). Furthermore, the remarkable photovoltaic behavior leads to an impressive power conversion efficiency of 7.33% under 355 nm UV light illumination. Additionally, this work presents an easy-processing spray-deposition route for the fabrication of large-area UV photodiode arrays that exhibit highly uniform cell-to-cell performance. The MXene/GaN photodiode arrays with high-efficiency and self-powered ability show high potential for many applications, such as energy-saving communication, imaging, and sensing networks.

Abstract
Flexible transparent supercapacitors (FTSCs) are essential for the development of next-generation transparent electronics, however, a significant challenge is to achieve high-areal-capacitance FTSCs without sacrificing optical transparency. Herein, poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)-glued MoO3 nanowires anchored on the Ag nanofiber (AgNF) network are employed as FTSC film electrodes, in which the AgNF network provides primary conducting pathways and guarantees rapid electron transport, while wide-bandgap semiconductor MoO3 nanowires glued by the ultrathin PEDOT:PSS layer provide abundant redox-active sites to store energy. Benefiting from the PEDOT:PSS as the conducting glue to promote the connection at the junctions between AgNFs and MoO3 nanowires, the as-prepared AgNFs/MoO3/PEDOT:PSS (AMP) film electrode demonstrates a high transmittance (82.8%) and large areal capacitance (15.7 mF cm-2), and has outperformed all the transparent conductive films known to date. Even after 11 000 charge/discharge cycles, the capacitance still remains at 92.4% of the initial value. The assembled all-solid-state FTSC device delivers an energy density of 0.623 μW h cm-2, a power density of 40 μW cm-2, and excellent mechanical robustness, implying a great potential in high performance FTSCs.

Abstract
A decade after the first report, the family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides (MXenes) includes structures with three, five, seven, or nine layers of atoms in an ordered or solid solution form. Dozens of MXene compositions have been produced, resulting in MXenes with mixed surface terminations. MXenes have shown useful and tunable electronic, optical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties, leading to applications ranging from optoelectronics, electromagnetic interference shielding, and wireless antennas to energy storage, catalysis, sensing, and medicine. Here we present a forward-looking review of the field of MXenes. We discuss the challenges to be addressed and outline research directions that will deepen the fundamental understanding of the properties of MXenes and enable their hybridization with other 2D materials in various emerging technologies.

Abstract
Smart wearable electronics have drawn increasing attention for their potential applications in personal thermal management, human health monitoring, portable energy conversion/storage, electronic skin and so on. However, it is still a critical challenge to fabricate the multifunctional textiles with tunable morphology and performance while performing well in flexibility, air permeability, wearing comfortability. Herein, we develop a novel roll-to-roll layer-by-layer assembly strategy to construct bark-shaped carbon nanotube (CNT)/Ti3C2Tx MXene composite film on the fiber surface. The fabricated bark-shaped CNT/MXene decorated fabrics (CMFs) exhibit good flexibility, air permeability and electrical conductivity (sheet resistance, 6.6 Ω/□). In addition, the CMFs demonstrate good electrothermal performance (70.9 °C, 5 V), electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance (EMI shielding effectiveness, 30.0 dB under X-Brand), and high sensitivity as the flexible piezoresistive sensors for monitoring the human motions. Importantly, our CMFs show distinctive EMI shielding mechanism, where a great proportion of incident electromagnetic microwaves are reflected by the bark-shaped CNT/MXene films owing to the multi-interface scattering effects. This work may provide a new strategy for the fabrication of multifunctional textile-based electronics and pave the way for smart wearable electronics.

Abstract
MXenes (Ti3C2TX) are two-dimensional transition-metal carbides and carbonitrides with high conductivity and optical transparency. However, transparent MXene electrodes with high environmental stability suitable for various flexible organic electronic devices have rarely been demonstrated. By laminating a thin polymer film onto a solution-processed MXene layer to protect the MXene film from harsh environmental conditions, we present transparent and flexible MXene electronic devices. A thin polymer layer spin-coated onto a transparent MXene electrode provides environmental stability even under air exposure longer than 7 d at high temperatures (up to 70 °C) and humidity levels (up to 50%) without degrading the transparency of the electrode. The resulting polymer-laminated (PL) MXene electrode facilitates the development of a variety of field-driven photoelectronic devices by exploiting the electric field exerted between the MXene layer and the counter electrode through the insulating polymer. Field-induced electroluminescent displays, based on both organic and inorganic phosphors, with PL-MXene electrodes are demonstrated with high transparency and mechanical flexibility. Furthermore, our PL-MXene electrode exhibits high versatility through successful implementation in capacitive-type pressure sensors and triboelectric nanogenerators, resulting in field-driven sensing and energy harvesting electronic devices with excellent operation reliability.

Abstract
Although Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets are highly conductive, it is still a challenge to design highly stretchable MXene electrodes for flexible electronic devices. Inspired by the high stretchability of kirigami patterns, we demonstrate a bottom-up methodology to design highly stretchable and conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Ti3C2Tx MXene films for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and pressure sensing applications by constructing wrinkled MXene patterns on a flexible PDMS substrate to create a hierarchical surface with primary and secondary surface wrinkles. The self-controlled microcracks created in the valley domains of the hierarchical film via a nonuniform deformation during prestretching/releasing cycles endow the hierarchical PDMS/MXene film with a high stretchability (100%), strain-invariant conductivity in a strain range of 0%-100%, and stable conductivities over an 1000-cycle fatigue measurement. The stretchable film exhibits a highly stable EMI shielding performance of ≈30 dB at a tensile strain of 50%, and its EMI shielding efficiency increases further to 103 dB by constructing a two-film structure. Furthermore, a highly stretchable and sensitive iontronic sensor array with integrated MXene-based electrodes and circuits is fabricated by a stencil printing process, exhibiting high sensitivity (66.3 nF kPa-1), excellent dynamic cycle stability over 1000 cycles under different frequencies, and sensitive pressure monitoring capability under a tensile strain of 50%.

Abstract
One of the primary factors limiting further research and commercial use of the two-dimensional (2D) titanium carbide MXene Ti3C2, as well as MXenes in general, is the rate at which freshly made samples oxidize and degrade when stored as aqueous suspensions. Here, we show that including excess aluminum during synthesis of the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase precursor leads to Ti3AlC2 grains with improved crystallinity and carbon stoichiometry (termed Al-Ti3AlC2). MXene nanosheets (Al-Ti3C2) produced from this precursor are of higher quality, as evidenced by their increased resistance to oxidation and an increase in their electronic conductivity up to 20 000 S/cm. Aqueous suspensions of stoichiometric single- to few-layer Al-Ti3C2 flakes produced from the modified Al-Ti3AlC2 have a shelf life of over ten months, compared to 1 to 2 weeks for previously published Ti3C2, even when stored in ambient conditions. Freestanding films made from Al-Ti3C2 suspensions stored for ten months show minimal decreases in electrical conductivity and negligible oxidation. Furthermore, oxidation of the improved Al-Ti3C2 in air initiates at temperatures that are 100-150 °C higher than that of conventional Ti3C2. The observed improvements in both the shelf life and properties of Al-Ti3C2 will facilitate the widespread use of this material.

Abstract
MXene is a generic name for a large family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides or nitrides, which show great promise in the field of transparent supercapacitors. However, the manufacturing of supercapacitor electrodes with a high charge storage capacity and desirable transmittance is a challenging task. Herein, a low-cost, large-scale, and rapid preparation of flexible and transparent MXene films via inkjet printing is reported. The MXene films realized the sheet resistance (Rs) of 1.66 ± 0.16 MΩ sq-1 to 1.47 ± 0.1 kΩ sq-1 at the transmissivity of 87-24% (λ = 550 nm), respectively, corresponding to the figure of merit (the ratio of electronic to optical conductivity, σDC/σOP) of ∼0.0012 to 0.13. Furthermore, the potential of inkjet-printed transparent MXene films in transparent supercapacitors was assessed by electrochemical characterization. The MXene film, with a transmittance of 24%, exhibited a superior areal capacitance of 887.5 μF cm-2 and retained 85% of the initial capacitance after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles at the scan rate of 10 mV s-1. Interestingly, the areal capacitance (192 μF cm-2) of an assembled symmetric MXene transparent supercapacitor, with a high transmittance of 73%, still surpasses the performance of previously reported graphene and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based transparent electrodes. The convenient manufacturing and superior electrochemical performance of inkjet-printed flexible and transparent MXene films widen the application horizon of this strategy for flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
The development of flexible and transparent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with excellent comprehensive properties is urgently demanded as visual windows and display devices in aeronautic, industry, medical, and research facilities. However, the method of how to obtain highly efficient and reliable transparent EMI shielding devices is still facing lots of obstacles. Here, a high-performance silver nanotube (AgNT) network with stable and integrated interconnects is prepared by physical depositing technology, based on a uniform and large-scale nanofiber skeleton. This unique structure enables the AgNT network to achieve one order higher conductivity (∼1.0 Ω/sq at >90% transmittance) than previous research studies and keeps <10% variation with random deformations (>5000 times). Moreover, the manufactured AgNT shielding film with a thickness of less than 1 mm can be easily transferred to arbitrary surfaces as a transparent and flexible EMI shielding film at commercial ∼35 dB EMI shielding effectiveness, with large-scale, low-cost, and simple preparation processes. These excellent properties endow the AgNT shielding film to achieve great potential for future flexible and transparent scenarios.

Abstract
Interactions between two-dimensional MXene sheets and electron beams of a (scanning) transmission electron microscope are studied by first-principles calculations. We simulated the knock-on sputtering threshold for Ti3C2 MXene sheets via ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and for five other MXenes (Ti2C, Ti2N, Nb2C, Mo2TiC2, and Ti3CN) approximately from defect formation energies. We evaluated the sputtering cross section and sputtering rates and based on those evaluated the surface composition. We find that at the exit surface and for "low" TEM energies H and F sputter at equal rates, but at "high" TEM energies the F is sputtered most strongly. In the entry surface, H sputtering dominates. The results were found to be largely similar for all studied MXenes, and although the sputtering thresholds varied between the different metal atoms the thresholds were always too high to lead to significant sputtering of the metal atoms. We simulated electron microscope images at the successive stages of sputtering and found that while it is likely difficult to identify surface groups based on the spot intensities, the local contraction of the lattice around O groups should be observable. We also studied MXenes encapsulated with graphene and found them to provide efficient protection from knock-on damage for all surface group atoms except H.

Abstract
2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, known as MXenes, were discovered in 2011 and have grown to prominence in energy storage, catalysis, electromagnetic interference shielding, wireless communications, electronic, sensors, and environmental and biomedical applications. In addition to their high electrical conductivity and electrochemically active behavior, MXenes' mechanical properties, flexibility, and strong adhesion properties play crucial roles in almost all of these growing applications. Although these properties prove to be critical in MXenes' impressive performance, the mechanical and tribological understanding of MXenes, as well as their relation to the synthesis process, is yet to be fully explored. Here, a fundamental overview of MXenes' mechanical and tribological properties is provided and the effects of MXenes' compositions, synthesis, and processing steps on these properties are discussed. Additionally, a critical perspective of the compositional control of MXenes for innovative structural, low-friction, and low-wear performance in current and upcoming applications of MXenes is provided. It is established here that the fundamental understanding of MXenes' mechanical and tribological behavior is essential for their quickly growing applications.
