Abstract
Mercury ions can cause serious damage to the ecological environment, and it is necessary to develop reliable and elegant mercury ion sensors. In this protocol, a label-free photothermal/electrochemical dual-mode strategy for Hg2+ is proposed based on delaminated Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets (DL-Ti3C2 MXene). Hg2+ exists in water in the form of HgCl2, Hg(OH)2, and HgClOH, and the electron-rich elements O and Cl can specifically bind to the positively charged DL-Ti3C2 MXene at the edge, and further oxidation-reduction reaction occurs to obtain TiO2/C and Hg2Cl2. In view of the reduction activity and the performance of photothermal conversion of DL-Ti3C2 MXene itself, the electrochemical and photothermal responses decrease with the increase of the logarithm of Hg2+ concentration. The corresponding linear ranges are 50 pmol L-1-500 nmol L-1 and 1 nmol L-1-50 μmol L-1, and their detection limits calculated at 3 S/N are 17.2 pmol L-1 and 0.43 nmol L-1, respectively. DL-Ti3C2 MXene has the characteristics of a wide range of raw materials, low cost, and easy preparation. In addition, the design takes full advantage of the properties of the material itself, avoids the complex assembly and detection process of conventional sensors, and enables high selectivity and sensitivity for mercury detection. In particular, the dual-mode sensing endows self-confirmation of mercury ion detection results, thereby improving the reliability of the sensor.

Deep eutectic supramolecular polymer functionalized MXene for enhancing mechanical properties, photothermal conversion, and bacterial inactivation of cellulose textiles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 267:131512.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (Ti3C2Tx MXene) have gained significant attention for their potential in constructing diverse functional materials, However, MXene is easily oxidized and weakly bound to the cellulose matrix, which pose challenges in developing MXene-decorated non-woven fabric with strong bonding and stable thermal management properties. Herein, we successfully prepared deep eutectic supramolecular polymer (DESP) functionalized MXene to address these issues. MXene can be wrapped with DESP to be insulated from water and protected from being oxidized. Subsequently, we achieved an efficient in-situ deposition of DESP-functionalized MXene onto fibers through a combination of dip coating and photopolymerization technique. The resulting nonwoven fabric (CNs-DESP@M) exhibited excellent photothermal conversion properties along with rapid thermal response and functional stability. Interestingly, the interface bonding between MXene and the fiber surface was significantly enhanced due to the abundant pyrogallol groups in DESP, resulting in the composite textile exhibiting commendable mechanical properties (2.68 MPa). Moreover, the as-prepared textile demonstrates outstanding bactericidal efficacy against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The multifunctional textile, created through a facile and efficient approach, demonstrates remarkable potential for applications in smart textiles, catering to the diverse needs of individuals in the future.

Abstract
The fundamental logic states of 1 and 0 in Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) are essential for modern high-speed non-volatile solid-state memories. However, the accumulated storage signal in conventional physical components often leads to data distortion after multiple write operations. This necessitates a write-verify operation to ensure proper values within the 0/1 threshold ranges. In this work, a non-gradual switching memory with two distinct stable resistance levels is introduced, enabled by the asymmetric vertical structure of monolayer vacancy-induced oxidized Ti3C2Tx MXene for efficient carrier trapping and releasing. This non-cumulative resistance effect allows non-volatile memories to attain valid 0/1 logic levels through direct reprogramming, eliminating the need for a write-verify operation. The device exhibits superior performance characteristics, including short write/erase times (100 ns), a large switching ratio (≈3 × 104), long cyclic endurance (>104 cycles), extended retention (>4 × 106 s), and highly resistive stability (>104 continuous write operations). These findings present promising avenues for next-generation resistive memories, offering faster programming speed, exceptional write performance, and streamlined algorithms.

Ultralong Stability of Ti 3 C 2 T x -MXene Dispersion Through Synergistic Regulation of Storage Environment and Defect Capping with Tris-HCl Buffering. SMALL METHODS 2024:e2301689.

Abstract
Aqueous MXene dispersion suffers from a bottleneck issue of oxidation, leading to its gradual deterioration and ultimately compromised physicochemical characteristics. Herein, Tris-HCl buffer is employed to stabilize the diluted Ti3 C2 Tx -MXene dispersion (0.05 mg mL-1 ) through the synergy of its potent pH-regulation capability and capping effect toward oxidation-susceptible defects/edges. Tris-HCl functionalized Ti3 C2 Tx maintained its original morphology, structure, and favorable dispersity even after 150 days of aging under naturally aerated conditions. The pH-regulation nature of Tris-HCl is elucidated through solution monitoring of Ti3 C2 Tx dispersion, while the adsorption of Tris-HCl onto defects/edges is revealed by spectral analysis and multi-scale simulations. Tris-HCl at the neutral pH can bind to the negatively charged basal plane of Ti3 C2 Tx via + HTris moiety, while the other moiety (Tris) interacts with the exposed edge-based Ti atoms and/or intrinsic defects, forming a Ti─N bond that prevents MXene from attack by H2 O and O2 . Besides, Tris-HCl stabilized Ti3 C2 Tx exhibited nearly identical capacitive characteristics to its freshly-etched counterpart, indicating the minimal impact of Tris-HCl on electrochemical performance of Ti3 C2 Tx during long-term storage. This study provides practical guidance for stabilizing MXene in their native aqueous dispersion without compromising the inherent properties.

Abstract
MXenes are a recently emerging class of two-dimensional nanomaterials that have gained considerable interest in the field of environmental protection. Owing to their high surface area, abundant terminal groups, and unique two-dimensional layered structures, MXenes have demonstrated high efficacy as adsorbents for various pollutants. Here we focused on the latest developments in the field of MXene-based adsorbents, including the structure and properties of MXenes, their synthesis and modification methods, and their adsorption performance and mechanisms for various pollutants. Among the pollutants that have been reported to be adsorbed by MXenes are radionuclides (U(VI), Sr(II), Cs(I), Eu(III), Ba(II), Th(IV), and Tc(VII)/Re(VII)), heavy metals (Hg(II), Cu(II), Cr(VI), and Pb(II)), dyes, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics (tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and sulfonamides), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and other contaminates. Moreover, future directions in MXene research are also suggested in this review.

Abstract
MXenes are promising materials for electrocatalysis due to their excellent metallic conductivity, hydrophilicity, high specific surface area, and excellent electrochemical properties. Herein, we summarize the recent advancement of MXene-based materials for electrocatalysis and highlight their key challenges and opportunities. In particular, this review emphasizes on the major design principles of MXene-based electrocatalysts, including (1) coupling MXene with active materials or heteroatomic doping to create highly active synergistic catalyst sites; (2) construction of 3D MXene structure or introducing interlayer spacers to increase active areas and form fast mass-charge transfer channel; and (3) protecting edge of MXene or in situ transforming the surface of MXene to stable active substance that inhibits the oxidation of MXene and then enhances the stability. Consequently, MXene-based materials exhibit outstanding performance for a variety of electrocatalytic reactions. Finally, the key challenges and promising prospects of the practical applications of MXene-based electrocatalysts are briefly proposed.

Abstract
2D transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) suggest an uncommonly broad combination of important functionalities amongst 2D materials. Nevertheless, MXene suffers from facile oxidation and colloidal instability upon conventional water-based processing, thus limiting applicability. By experiments and theory, It is suggested that for stability and dispersibility, it is critical to select uncommonly high permittivity solvents such as N-methylformamide (NMF) and formamide (FA) (εr = 171, 109), unlike the classical solvents characterized by high dipole moment and polarity index. They also allow high MXene stacking order within thin films on carbon nanotube (CNT) substrates, showing very high Terahertz (THz) shielding effectiveness (SE) of 40-60 dB at 0.3-1.6 THz in spite of the film thinness < 2 µm. The stacking order and mesoscopic porosity turn relevant for THz-shielding as characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The mechanistic understanding of stability and structural order allows guidance for generic MXene applications, in particular in telecommunication, and more generally processing of 2D materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) amorphous nanosheets with ultrathin thicknesses have properties that differ from their crystalline counterparts. However, conventional methods for growing 2D materials often produce either crystalline flakes or amorphous nanosheets with an uncontrollable thickness. Here, we report that ultrathin amorphous metal-oxide nanosheets featuring superior flatness can be realized through the molecularly confined topochemical transformation of MXene. Using MXene Ti2CTx as an example, we show that surface modification of Ti2CTx nanosheets with molecular ligands, such as oleylamine (OAm) and oleic acid (OA), not only imparts notable colloidal dispersity to Ti2CTx nanosheets in nonpolar organic solvents but also confines their subsequent oxidation to in-plane configurations. We demonstrate that unlike the drastic oxidation conventionally observed for pristine MXene, hydrophobizing MXene with OAm and OA ligands enables individual Ti2CTx nanosheets to undergo independent oxidation in a nondestructive manner, resulting in amorphous titanium oxide (am-TiO2) nanosheets that faithfully retain the dimension and flatness of pristine MXene. These am-TiO2 nanosheets exhibit exceptional activity as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Importantly, this molecular confinement strategy can be extended to other MXene materials, providing a versatile approach for synthesizing ultrathin amorphous metal-oxide nanosheets with tailored compositions and functionalities.

Abstract
MXenes are a family of 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides with remarkable properties, bearing great potential for energy storage and catalysis applications. However, their oxidation behavior is not yet fully understood, and there are still open questions regarding the spatial distribution and precise quantification of surface terminations, intercalated ions, and possible uncontrolled impurities incorporated during synthesis and processing. Here, atom probe tomography (APT) analysis of as-synthesized Ti3 C2 Tx MXenes reveals the presence of alkali (Li, Na) and halogen (Cl, F) elements as well as unetched Al. Following oxidation of the colloidal solution of MXenes, it is observed that the alkalis are enriched in TiO2 nanowires. Although these elements are tolerated through the incorporation by wet chemical synthesis, they are often overlooked when the activity of these materials is considered, particularly during catalytic testing. This work demonstrates how the capability of APT to image these elements in 3D at the near-atomic scale can help to better understand the activity and degradation of MXenes, in order to guide their synthesis for superior functional properties.

Expanded interlayer spacing of SnO 2 QDs-Decorated MXene for highly selective luteolin detection with Ultra-Low limit of detection. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:561-569. [PMID: 37734198 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Although there have been advancements in electrochemical catalysts for luteolin detection, their practical use is constrained by low sensitivity, inadequate selectivity, and unsatisfactory limit of detection. MXene, a class of 2D materials, possesses exceptional physical-chemical properties that make it highly suitable for electrochemical detection. Nevertheless, the self-stacking and limited interlayer spacing of MXene impede its extensive application in electrochemical detection. Herein, a SnO2 QDs-MXene composite is synthesized for selective electrochemical detection of luteolin. Inserting SnO2 QDs between tightly stacked MXene layers expands the d-spacing of MXene, enhancing the specific surface area and enabling abundant active sites for redox reactions. The inclusion of MXene in the modified SnO2 QDs-MXene/GCE electrode significantly enhances electron transfer. As a result, the electrode demonstrates exceptional luteolin detection capabilities, including a wide linear range (0.1-1200 nM), high sensitivity (12.4 μA μM-1), and an ultra-low limit of detection (0.14 nM). Additionally, the SnO2 QDs-MXene/GCE electrode exhibits good repeatability, excellent reproducibility, remarkable stability, and high selectivity, making it suitable for practical sample analysis. This research contributes to advancing ultra-low limit of detection sensors for accurate luteolin detection.

Reinforcing and toughening bacterial cellulose/MXene films assisted by interfacial multiple cross-linking for electromagnetic interference shielding and photothermal response. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:1645-1652. [PMID: 37666196 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.08.177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
Ultrathin MXene composite films, with their flexibility, metal-level conductivity, and multifunction compatibility, are an ideal choice for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials in future developments. Nonetheless, the dilemma between electrical conductivity and robustness in these composite films remains a challenge. Herein, an ammonium polyphosphate (APP) assisted interfacial multiple cross-linking strategy, achieved via simple solution blending and filtration, was employed to reinforce and toughen the "brick-mortar" layered MXene/bacterial cellulose (MBCA) films without compromising their conductivity and EMI shielding ability. The introduction of a small amount of APP leads to multiple interfacial interactions between MXene and bacterial cellulose, resulting in significant enhancements in mechanical strength (360.8 MPa), Young's modulus (2.8 GPa), fracture strain (17.3%), and toughness (34.1 MJ/m3). Concurrently, the MBCA film displayed satisfactory conductivity values of 306.7 S/cm and an EMI SE value of 41 dB upon optimizing the MXene content. Additionally, the MBCA film demonstrated a consistent, rapid-response photothermal conversion capability, achieving a photothermal conversion temperature of 97 °C under a light intensity of 200 mW/m2. Consequently, this tough and multifunctional EMI shielding film holds substantial promise for protecting electronic equipment.

Abstract
Humidity sensors play a critical role in monitoring human activities, environmental health, food processing and storage, and many other fields. Recently, some 2D materials, particularly MXenes, have been considered as promising candidates for creating humidity sensors because of their high surface area, surface-to-bulk ratio, and excellent conductivity, arising from the high concentration and mobility of free electrons. In this work, we propose the plasmon-assisted surface modification and termination tuning of common MXene (Ti3C2Tx) to enhance their response to humidity and increase their stability against oxidation. Hydrophobic (-C6H4-CF3) and hydrophilic (-C6H4-COOH) chemical moieties were covalently grafted to the Ti3C2Tx surface using plasmon-mediated diazonium chemistry. In situ Grazing-Incidence Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (GIWAXS) measurements, performed at different humidity levels indicate that surface modification significantly affects penetration of water molecules in Ti3C2Tx films. As a result, the sensitivity of the flakes to the presence of water molecules was significantly altered. Additionally, proposed surface grafting commonly proceeds on the less stable MXene surface sites, where flake oxidation commonly initiates. As a result of the modification, such "weak" and more chemically active sites were blocked and Ti3C2Tx stability was significantly enhanced.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have a high theoretical specific capacity of 1675 mAh ⋅ g-1 and have become the most promising high-energy storage system for the next generation batteries technology. However, their applications are hindered by insulated feature and volume expansion of sulfur, as well as the "shuttle effect" of polysulfides. MXenes own metallic conductivity and strong ability of polysulfides adsorption. Besides, their unique two-dimensional (2D) structure, large specific surface area, abundant functional groups, and adjustability are beneficial to overcome the drawbacks of the sulfur cathode. In this review, different mainstream preparation methods and excellent properties of MXenes are summarized. Significant achievements and recent progress of MXene-based cathodes and interlayers applied to Li-S cathodes are concluded later. Finally, the challenges, possible solutions and potential applications of MXenes for Li-S batteries are also presented.

Abstract
Herein, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are constructed on the surface of Ti3C2 MXene to improve its environmental stability and piezocatalytic activity. Ti3C2/SAMs-X (X = H, Cl, and NH2) was prepared to enhance the piezocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) and hydrogen production. Surface-treated Ti3C2 exhibits different lattice parameters and symmetry, thus leading to an increased polarization. The presence of polar functional groups in SAMs remarkably increases the surface potential of Ti3C2, thereby promoting the migration of piezoelectric electrons. Ti3C2/SAMs-NH2 exhibits the highest piezocatalytic performance, thus improving BPA removal and H2 generation by 7 and 1.8 times, respectively. In addition, Ti3C2/SAMs-NH2 remained stable under 100% relative humidity for 15 days. Therefore, it provides a facile strategy for modulating piezocatalytic properties through interfacial self-assembly-induced lattice distortion.

Abstract
MXenes have been proven to be outstanding lossy phase of advanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. However, their poor tolerance to oxygen and water results in fast degradation of the pristine two-dimensional (2D) nanostructure and fading of the functional performance. Herein, in this research, natural antioxidants (e.g., melatonin, tea polyphenols, and phytic acid) were employed to protect the Ti3C2Tx MXene from its degradation in order to achieve a long-term stability of the EMI shielding performance. The results showed that the synthesized composites comprised of antioxidants and Ti3C2Tx exhibited a decelerating degradation rate resulting in an improved EMI shielding effective (SE) stability. The antioxidation mechanism of the applied antioxidants is discussed with respect to the nanostructure evolution of the Ti3C2Tx MXene. This work contributes to the basic foundations for the further development of advanced MXenes for stable applications in the EM field.

Abstract
Zinc metal-based aqueous batteries (ZABs) offer a sustainable, affordable, and safe energy storage alternative to lithium, yet inevitable dendrite formation impedes their wide use, especially under long-term and high-rate cycles. How the battery can survive after dendrite formation remains an open question. Here, we pivot from conventional Zn dendrite growth suppression strategies, introducing proactive dendrite-digesting chemistry via a mesoporous Ti3C2 MXene (MesoTi3C2)-wrapped polypropylene separator. Spectroscopic characterizations and electrochemical evaluation demonstrate that MesoTi3C2, acting as an oxidant, can revive the formed dead Zn0 dendrites into electroactive Zn2+ ions through a spontaneous redox process. Density functional theory reveals that the abundant edge-Ti-O sites in our MesoTi3C2 facilitate high oxidizability and electron transfer from Zn0 dendrites compared to their in-plane counterparts. The resultant asymmetrical cell demonstrates remarkable ultralong cycle life of 2200 h at a practical current of 5 mA cm-2 with a low overpotential (<50 mV). The study reveals the unexpected edge effect of mesoporous MXenes and uncovers a new proactive dendrite-digesting chemistry to survive ZABs, albeit with inevitable dendrite formation.

Abstract
Chemical transformation strategy is capable of fabricating nanomaterials with well-defined structures and fascinating performance via controllable crystallization kinetics in the phase transformation. V2CTx MXene has been used as precursors to fabricate vanadium porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (V-PMOFs) via the coordination of deprotonated carboxylic acid ligands. However, the rational and in-depth exploration of synthesis mechanism with the aim of enriching the variety of MXene (i.e., Ti3C2Tx) and organic ligands (i.e., catechol-based) to design new MOFs is rarely reported. Herein, we have first developed a metal ion assistant transformation strategy to synthesize three-dimensional catechol-based TiCu-HHTP (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) MOFs with a non-interpenetrating SrSi2 (srs) framework using two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx as precursors. The unique synergetic transformation mechanism involves the electron transfer from Ti3C2Tx to electrostatically adsorbed Cu2+ ion for redox reaction, the subsequent Ti-C bond rupture for Ti4+ ion release, and the continuous chelation coordination between Ti4+/Cu2+ and HHTP. Ti3C2Tx precursors and auxiliary metal ion could be rationally substituted by V2CTx and Mn+ (e.g., Ni2+, Co2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+), respectively. This strategy lays the foundation for the design and synthesis of innovative and multifarious MOFs derived from MXene or other unconventional metal precursors.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) utilizes a barrier membrane to maintain the osteogenic space and promote osseointegration of the implants. Developing a novel biomaterial to meet the mechanical and biological performance requirements of GBR membrane (GBRM) remains a huge challenge. Here, the sodium alginate (SA, S)/gelatin (G)/MXene (M) composite membrane (SGM) was prepared by combining sol-gel and freeze-drying processes. The incorporation of MXene improved the mechanical properties and hydrophilicity of the SA/G (SG) membrane, and also enhanced its cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. More importantly, when the concentration of MXene is 0.25%W/V, the SGM composite membrane exhibited the best tensile strength (40 MPa), high swelling rate (1012%), and appropriate degradation rate (40%). Meanwhile, the biological improvements were more significant. Therefore, the appropriate amount addition of MXene has a positive and obvious effect on the improvements of the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and osteogenic induction of the SG composite membranes. This work provides a more extendable development idea for the application of SGM composite membrane as GBRM.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2300273. [PMID: 37348084 PMCID: PMC10460840 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202300273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
MXenes suffer from severe oxidation and progressive degradation in aqueous media due to its poor chemical stability. Herein, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is employed as an efficient protectant for long-term storage of Ti3 C2 Tx -MXene aqueous dispersion. Experimental data support SDS's capability to protect oxidation-prone sites on Ti3 C2 Tx nanosheets, providing extended colloidal stability of up to 213 days. Concentration-dependent anti-oxidation effect articulates that 1.5 mg mL-1 is deemed as an ideal SDS dose for Ti3 C2 Tx to achieve optimal oxidation-resistance in aqueous solution. Additionally, a chroma strategy is developed to instantly and precisely measure the oxidation degree of Ti3 C2 Tx . Adsorption-driven anti-oxidation efficacy of SDS is further confirmed by optimized conformations with interaction energies of SDS on termination-free and surface-defective Ti3 C2 Tx through multiscale simulations. This proposed route is a step forward in broadening the horizons of experimental and theoretical investigations of MXenes with promising implications for long-term storage and reliable applications.

Abstract
Batteries and supercapacitors have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage technologies. The rapid development of new two-dimensional (2D) electrode materials indicates a new era in energy storage devices. MXenes are a new type of layered 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides that have drawn much attention because of their excellent electrical conductivity, electrochemical and hydrophilic properties, large surface area, and attractive topological structure. This review focuses on various synthesis methods to prepare vanadium carbide MXenes with and without etchants like hydrofluoric acid, lithium fluoride, and hydrochloric acid to remove the 'A' layers of the MAX phase. The goal is to demonstrate the utilization of a less toxic etching method to achieve MXenes of comparable properties to those prepared by traditional methods. The influence of intercalation on the effect of high interlayer spacing between the MXene layers and the performance of MXenes as supercapacitor and battery electrodes is also addressed in this review. Lastly, the gaps in the current knowledge for vanadium carbide MXenes in synthesis, scalability, and utilization in more energy storage devices were discussed.

Abstract
MXenes with unique physicochemical properties have shown substantial potential in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. However, the chemical instability and mechanical fragility of MXenes has become a major hurdle for their application. Abundant strategies have been dedicated to improving the oxidation stability of colloidal solution or mechanical properties of films, which always come at the expense of electrical conductivity and chemical compatibility. Here, hydrogen bond (H-bond) and coordination bond are employed to achieve chemical and colloidal stability of MXenes (0.1 mg mL-1 ) by occupying the reaction sites of Ti3 C2 Tx attacking of water and oxygen molecules. Compared to the Ti3 C2 Tx , the Ti3 C2 Tx modified with alanine via H-bond shows significantly improved oxidation stability (at room temperature over 35 days), while the Ti3 C2 Tx modified with cysteine by synergy of H-bond and coordination bond can be maintained even after 120 days. Simulation and experimental results verify the formation of H-bond and Ti-S bond by a Lewis acid-base interaction between Ti3 C2 Tx and cysteine. Furthermore, the synergy strategy significantly improves the mechanical strength of the assembled film (up to 78.1 ± 7.9 MPa), corresponding the increment of 203% compared to untreated one, almost without compromising the electrical conductivity and EMI shielding performance.

Abstract
With the rapid growth of 5G communication technology, it is imperative to produce electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials to combat the growing electromagnetic radiation pollution. For new shielding applications, EMI shielding materials with high flexibility, light weight and good mechanical strength are in high demand. Due to their light weight, high flexibility, excellent EMI shielding performance, high mechanical properties, and multifunctionality, Ti3C2Tx MXene nanocomposite films have shown absolute benefits in EMI shielding in recent years. Consequently, numerous lightweight and flexible high-performance Ti3C2Tx MXene nanocomposite films have been generated quickly. In this article, we discuss not only the present state of EMI shielding material research, but also the synthesis and electromagnetic properties of Ti3C2Tx MXene. In addition, the loss mechanism of EMI shielding is described, with an emphasis on the analysis and summary of the research progress of diverse layer structured Ti3C2Tx MXene nanocomposite films for EMI shielding. Finally, the current issues of design and fabrication for Ti3C2Tx MXene nanocomposite films that need to be addressed are proposed, as well as the future research direction for Ti3C2Tx MXene nanocomposite films.

Abstract
MXenes, due to their tailorable chemistry and favourable physical properties, have great promise in electrocatalytic energy conversion reactions. To exploit fully their enormous potential, further advances specific to electrocatalysis revolving around their performance, stability, compositional discovery and synthesis are required. The most recent advances in these aspects are discussed in detail: surface functional and stoichiometric modifications which can improve performance, Pourbaix stability related to their electrocatalytic operating conditions, density functional theory and advances in machine learning for their discovery, and prospects in large scale synthesis and solution processing techniques to produce membrane electrode assemblies and integrated electrodes. This Review provides a perspective that is complemented by new density functional theory calculations which show how these recent advances in MXene material design are paving the way for effective electrocatalysts required for the transition to integrated renewable energy systems.

Abstract
MXenes are 2D nanomaterials with a wide array of possible compositions; they feature a unique combination of properties such as high electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, and colloidal stability which makes them attractive for a variety of applications. However, the shelf life and industrial utility of MXenes face challenges due to their tendency to oxidize and disintegrate, particularly in dispersions. Thus, it is crucial to find effective ways to ensure the degradation stability of MXenes. This feature article reviews the key factors affecting the degradation of MXenes such as pH, concentration of the dispersion, humidity, and storage temperature. In addition, we review our group's progress in mitigating the degradation of MXenes such as low-temperature storage, the use of antioxidants, and thermal annealing, particularly for Ti3C2Tz. These simple approaches may allow for applications of MXenes on a commercial scale.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are key in the field of electrochemical energy storage, and the development of advanced electrode materials is essential to meet the increasing demand of electrochemical energy storage devices with higher density of energy and power. Anode materials are the key components of batteries. However, the anode materials still suffer from several challenges such as low rate capability and poor cycling stability, limiting the development of high-energy and high-power batteries. In recent years, heterojunctions have received increasing attention from researchers as an emerging material, because the constructed heterostructures can significantly improve the rate capability and cycling stability of the materials. Although many research progress has been made in this field, it still lacks review articles that summarize this field in detail. Herein, this review presents the recent research progress of heterojunction-type anode materials, focusing on the application of various types of heterojunctions in lithium/sodium-ion batteries. Finally, the heterojunctions introduced in this review are summarized, and their future development is anticipated.

Abstract
Ligands can control the surface chemistry, physicochemical properties, processing, and applications of nanomaterials. MXenes are the fastest growing family of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, showing promise for energy, electronic, and environmental applications. However, complex oxidation states, surface terminal groups, and interaction with the environment have hindered the development of organic ligands suitable for MXenes. Here, we demonstrate a simple, fast, scalable, and universally applicable ligand chemistry for MXenes using alkylated 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (ADOPA). Due to the strong hydrogen-bonding and π-electron interactions between the catechol head and surface terminal groups of MXenes and the presence of a hydrophobic fluorinated alkyl tail compatible with organic solvents, the ADOPA ligands functionalize MXene surfaces under mild reaction conditions without sacrificing their properties. Stable colloidal solutions and highly concentrated liquid crystals of various MXenes, including Ti2CTx, Nb2CTx, V2CTx, Mo2CTx, Ti3C2Tx, Ti3CNTx, Mo2TiC2Tx, Mo2Ti2C3Tx, and Ti4N3Tx, have been produced in various organic solvents. Such products offer excellent electrical conductivity, improved oxidation stability, and excellent processability, enabling applications in flexible electrodes and electromagnetic interference shielding.

Abstract
Existing public health emergencies due to fatal/infectious diseases such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and monkeypox have raised the paradigm of 5th generation portable and intelligent multifunctional biosensors embedded on a single chip. The state-of-the-art 5th generation biosensors are concerned with integrating advanced functional materials with controllable electronic attributes and optimal machine processability. In this direction, 2D metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), owing to their enhanced effective surface area, tunable physicochemical attributes, and rich surface functionalities, have shown promising performances in biosensing flatlands. Moreover, their hybridization with diversified nanomaterials caters to their associated challenges for the commercialization of stability due to restacking and oxidation. MXenes and its hybrid biosensors have demonstrated intelligent and lab-on-chip prospects for determining diverse biomarkers/pathogens related to fatal and infectious diseases. Recently, on-site detection has been clubbed with solution-on-chip MXenes by interfacing biosensors with modern-age technologies, including 5G communication, internet-of-medical-things (IoMT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data clouding to progress toward hospital-on-chip (HOC) modules. This review comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art MXene fabrication, advancements in physicochemical properties to architect biosensors, and the progress of MXene-based lab-on-chip biosensors toward HOC solutions. Besides, it discusses sustainable aspects, practical challenges and alternative solutions associated with these modules to develop personalized and remote health solutions for every individual in the world.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal carbide/nitride (MXene) conductive inks are promising for scalable production of printable electronics, electromagnetic devices, and multifunctional coatings. However, the susceptible oxidation and poor rheological property seriously impede the printability of MXene inks and the exploration of functional devices. Here, we proposed a controllable surface grafting strategy for MXene flakes (p-MXene) with prepolymerized polydopamine macromolecules to protect against water and oxygen, enrich surface chemistry, and significantly optimize the rheological properties of the inks. The obtained p-MXene inks can adapt to screen-printing and other high-viscosity processing techniques, facilitating the development of patterned electromagnetic films and coatings. Interestingly, the printed MXene polarizer can freely switch and quantitatively control microwave transmission, giving an inspiring means for smart microwave modulation beyond the commonly reported shielding function. Moreover, the introduction of polydopamine nanoshell enables the infrared emissivity of MXene coating to be adjusted to a large extent, which can produce infrared anti-counterfeiting patterns in a thermal imager. Therefore, multifunctional antioxidant p-MXene inks will greatly extend the potential applications for the next-generation printable electronics and devices.

Abstract
As the most studied two-dimensional (2D) material from the MXene family, Ti3C2Tx has constantly gained interest from academia and industry. Ti3C2Tx MXene has the highest electrical conductivity (up to 24,000 S cm-1) and one of the highest stiffness values with a Young's modulus of ∼ 334 GPa among water-dispersible conductive 2D materials. The negative surface charge of MXene helps to disperse it well in aqueous and other polar solvents. This solubility across a wide range of solvents, excellent interface interaction, tunable surface functionality, and stability with other organic/polymeric materials combined with the layered structure of Ti3C2Tx MXene make it a promising material for anticorrosion coatings. While there are many reviews on Ti3C2Tx MXene polymer composites for catalysis, flexible electronics, and energy storage, to our knowledge, no review has been published yet on MXenes' anticorrosion applications. In this brief report, we summarize the current progress and the development of Ti3C2Tx polymer composites for anticorrosion. We also provide an outlook and discussion on possible ways to improve the exploitation of Ti3C2Tx polymer composites as anticorrosive materials. Finally, we provide a perspective beyond Ti3C2Tx MXene composition for the development of future anticorrosion coatings.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation have emerged as promising strategies to remedy the existing environmental and energy crises. However, grafting of expensive and less abundant noble-metal cocatalysts on photocatalyst materials is a mandatory practice to achieve enhanced photocatalytic performance owing to the ability of the cocatalysts to extract electrons efficiently from the photocatalyst and enable rapid/enhanced catalytic reaction. Hence, developing highly efficient, inexpensive, and noble-metal-free cocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements is considered as a noteworthy step toward considering photocatalysis as a more economical strategy. Recently, MXenes (two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have shown huge potential as alternatives for noble-metal cocatalysts. MXenes have several excellent properties, including atomically thin 2D morphology, metallic electrical conductivity, hydrophilic surface, and high specific surface area. In addition, they exhibit Gibbs free energy of intermediate H atom adsorption as close to zero and less than that of a commercial Pt-based cocatalyst, a Fermi level position above the H2 generation potential, and an excellent ability to capture and activate CO2 molecules. Therefore, there is a growing interest in MXene-based photocatalyst materials for various photocatalytic events. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the synthesis of MXenes with 2D and 0D morphologies, the stability of MXenes, and MXene-based photocatalysts for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. The existing challenges and the possible future directions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of MXene-based photocatalysts are also discussed.

Abstract
Numerous voids among the incompact layer-structure of MXene films result in their low ambient stability and poor innate conductivity for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Herein, we report a bridging-sheet-size-controlled densification process of MXene films by applying graphene oxide (GO) as a bridging agent. Specifically, the sheet size of GO is tailored to quantify a negative correlation of sheet size with densification for directing the preparation of most compact MXene-GO films. Benefiting from the shortest electron-transport-distance in the most compact structure, the conductivity of the MXene-GO film achieves 1.7 times (∼1.6 × 105 S/m) that of MXene film. The EMI shielding performance (5.2 × 106 dB/m) reaches the record-value among reported MXene films at 10 μm-scale thickness. Moreover, the compact structure boosts the ambient stability of MXene-GO films where the conductivity and EMI shielding performance remain 88.7% and 90.0% after 15 days, respectively. The findings rationale the structure-activity relationship of compact MXene films for flexible electronics. Densification of MXene films is controlled by a bridging-sheet-size strategy Shortening electron-transport-distance in compact structure improves conductivity Control of densification delivers high EMI shielding performance and air stability

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials have unique properties and their better functionality has created new paradigms in the field of sensing. Over the past decade, a new family of 2D materials known as MXenes has emerged as a promising material for numerous applications, including biosensing. Their metallic conductivity, rich surface chemistry, hydrophilicity, good biocompatibility, and high anchoring capacity for biomaterials make them an attractive candidate to detect a variety of analytes. Despite such notable properties, there are certain limitations associated with them. This review aims to present a detailed survey of MXene's synthesis; in particular, their superiority in the field of biosensing as compared to other 2D materials is addressed. Their low oxidative stability is still an open challenge, and recent investigations on MXene's oxidation are summarized. The hexagonal stacking network of MXenes acts as a distinctive matrix to load nanoparticles, and the embedded nanoparticles can bind an excess number of biomolecules (e.g., antibodies) thereby improving biosensor performance. We will also discuss the synthesis and corresponding performance of MXenes nanocomposites with noble metal nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles. Furthermore, Nb and Ti2C-based MXenes, and Ti3C2-MXene sandwich immunoassays are also reviewed in view of their importance. Different aspects and challenges associated with MXenes (from their synthesis to final applications) and the future perspectives described give new directions to fabricate novel biosensors.

Abstract
Efficient and nondestructive liquid exfoliation of MXene with large lateral size has drawn growing research interest due to its outstanding properties and diverse potential applications. The conventional sonication method, though enabling a high production yield of MXene nanosheets, broke them down into submicrometric sizes or even quantum dots, and thus sacrificed their size-dependent properties, chemical stability, and wide applications. Herein, rigid biological nanofibrils in combination of mild manual shake were found to be capable of peeling off MXene nanosheets by attaching on MXene surfaces and localizing the shear force. With comparison to sonication, this efficient and nondestructive exfoliation approach produced the MXene nanosheets with the lateral size up to 4-6 μm and a comparable yield of 64% within 2 h. The resultant MXene nanosheets were encapsulated with these biological fibrils, and thus enabled super colloidal and chemical stability. A steam generation efficiency of ∼86% and a high evaporation rate of 3.3 kg m-2 h-1 were achieved on their aerogels under 1-Sun irradiation at ∼25 °C. An evaporation rate of 0.5 kg m-2 h-1 still maintained even at the atmospheric temperature of -5 °C. More importantly, an electricity generation up to ∼350 mV also accompanied this solar evaporation under equivalent 5-Sun irradiation. Thus, this fibrous strategy not only provides an efficient and nondestructive exfoliation method of MXene, but also promises synchronization of solar-thermal evaporation and energy harvest.

Abstract
Membrane-based nanotechnology possesses high separation efficiency, low economic and energy consumption, continuous operation modes and environmental benefits, and has been utilized in various separation fields. Two-dimensional nanomaterials (2DNMs) with unique atomic thickness have rapidly emerged as ideal building blocks to develop high-performance separation membranes. By rationally tailoring and precisely controlling the nanochannels and/or nanoporous apertures of 2DNMs, 2DNM-based membranes are capable of exhibiting unprecedentedly high permeation and selectivity properties. In this review, the latest breakthroughs in using 2DNM-based membranes as nanosheets and laminar membranes are summarized, including their fabrication, structure design, transport behavior, separation mechanisms, and applications in liquid separations. Examples of advanced 2D material (graphene family, 2D TMDs, MXenes, metal–organic frameworks, and covalent organic framework nanosheets) membrane designs with remarkably perm-selective properties are highlighted. Additionally, the development of strategies used to functionalize membranes with 2DNMs are discussed. Finally, current technical challenges and emerging research directions of advancing 2DNM membranes for liquid separation are shared.

Abstract
MXenes, a large family of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides/nitrides, have attracted increased attention in recent years because of their excellent electronic, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. Studying chemical properties of MXenes is important to prolong the shelf life of their colloids and provide robust performance of MXenes in devices and applications. While the role of MXene reactivity with the environment, including water and components of air, is becoming more recognized, less is known about the role of parameters influencing the reactivity. In this work, we investigate the individual and combined effects of the pH and antioxidant on chemical stability of Ti2CTx, Ti3CNTx, and Ti3C2Tx MXenes using GC, XPS, UV-vis, and Raman spectroscopy. In contrast to indirect indicators of MXene degradation, such as film conductivity or performance in electrochemical energy storage systems, we focus on detection of reaction products as the most sensitive and direct way of monitoring the chemical transformations of MXenes. Based on our knowledge of MXene chemistry and interactions with the environment, we propose a combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium l-ascorbate to effectively slow down degradation of MXenes in colloidal solutions by suppressing their hydrolysis and oxidation reactions, respectively.

However, its clinical applications are very limited because the traditional sonosensitizers tend to suffer from very poor efficiency combined with low retention in cancer cells and low tumor selectivity. Therefore, sonosensitizers with higher effectivity, higher tumor cell retention, and higher tumor cell specificity are highly required. Herein, we constructed a Ti2C(OH)X nanosheet, which was a poor sonosensitizer but had a long circulation in the blood system. However, it was very interesting to find that the tumor microenvironment could in situ turn Ti2C(OH)X nanosheet into a novel and excellent sonosensitizer with a nanofiber structure in tumors, exhibiting excellent ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under ultrasound. Moreover, the nanofiber structure made it very difficult to get out of cancer cells, highly enhancing the retention of the sonosensitizer in the tumor, thereby enabling it to effectively and selectively kill cancer cells in vivo. Our findings demonstrate that the strategy of the tumor microenvironment triggering the in situ synthesis of an effective sonosensitizer in tumor provided a promising means to simultaneously increase the efficiency, sonosensitizer retention in cancer cells, and cancer selectivity, thereby effectively killing cancer cells but causing little damage to healthy tissues via the sonodynamic therapy.

Abstract
The construction of abundant pore channels between the layers of Ti3C2Tx MXene film is an important approach to fully exploit the 2D macromolecular properties of MXene (Ti3C2Tx), which is of great significance for further realizing the practical application of MXene macroscopic assemblies in the field of electromagnetic interference shielding and capacitive storage. However, there is still a lack of systematic introductions and prospects of this field, thus far. In this review, starting from the preparation of MXene macroscopic assemblies, the 3D porous MXene films, constructed by sacrificial templating, vapor foaming, and light foaming, as well as their corresponding properties of electromagnetic interference shielding and capacitive storage, are introduced. In addition, the current bottlenecks and great challenges of 3D porous MXene films are deeply analyzed, and effective solutions for future application development trends are proposed.

Abstract
The measurement and control of humidity is a major challenge that affects the sensing properties of sensors used in high-precision equipment manufacturing industries. Graphene Oxide(GO)-based materials have been extensively explored in humidity sensing applications because of their high surface area and functional groups. However, there is a lack of effective bulk-manufacturing processes for the synthesis of 2D-based nanocomposites with comb electrodes. Moreover, water intercalation within the layers of 2D materials increases recovery time. This work demonstrates the enhanced sensing characteristics of a capacitive/resistive GO-MnZnO nanocomposite humidity sensor produced using a cost-effective single-pot synthesis process. The in-plane sensing layer consistently improves sensitivity and reduces response time for a wide range of relative humidity measurements (10% to 90%). Interdigitated gold electrodes with varying numbers of fingers and spacing were fabricated using photolithography on a Si/SiO₂ for a consistent sensor device platform. The choice of nanomaterials, dimension of the sensor, and fabrication method influence the performance of the humidity sensor in a controlled environment. GO nanocomposites show significant improvement in response time (82.67 times greater at 40% RH) and sensitivity (95.7 times more at 60% RH). The response time of 4.5 s and recovery time of 21 s was significantly better for a wider range of relative humidity compared to the reduced GO-sensing layer and ZnMnO. An optimized 6 mm × 3 mm dimension sensor with a 28-fingers comb was fabricated with a metal-etching process. This is one of the most effective methods for bulk manufacturing. The performance of the sensing layer is comparable to established sensing nanomaterials that are currently used in humidity sensors, and hence can be extended for optimal bulk manufacturing with minimum electrochemical treatments.

Abstract
Layered MXene films have shown enormous potential for wide applications due to their high electrical conductivity and unique laminated microstructure. However, the intrinsic susceptibility to oxidation and the mechanical fragility of MXene films are the two major bottlenecks that prevent their widespread industrial applications. Here, a facile yet efficient assembly strategy is proposed to address these issues by increasing the alignment and compactness of MXene layers as well as strengthening the interlayer interactions. This method involves the gelation of MXene flakes with a multifunctional inorganic "mortar" polymer (ammonium polyphosphate, APP) followed by quasi-solid-state assembly enabled by a mechanical rolling process, by which the 3D gel network is transformed into 2D freestanding MXene films with unprecedented flake alignment and compactness. Besides, due to the multiple molecular-level interactions (hydrogen bonding, coordination bonding, and electrostatic force) between APP and MXene flakes, the resultant MXene-APP film (MAF) displays high mechanical strength (286.4 ± 20.3 MPa) and excellent electrical conductivity (8012.4 ± 325.6 S cm-1 ), along with remarkable environmental stability. As an application demonstration, MAF exhibits outstanding electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness with long-term durability, highlighting the great potential of this gelation-assisted assembly strategy in fabricating large-area, high-performance MXene films for diverse real-world applications.

Abstract
Maintaining the dynamical microwave synchronization between a target and its background is the key to electromagnetical invisibility in real environment. Herein, we introduce an archetypical paradigm for ultraelastic films of graphene-functionalized ionic gel with tunable microwave-absorbing behaviors. Inspired by the local structural changes during the wing-spreading process of vespertilionids, the experimental and finite element simulations have revealed that proper shape changing of 3D wrinkled structure containing ridge walls with moderate impedance is the effective way to minimize reflected wave and promote energy attenuation. An optimal RL value of -43.6 dB and valid regulatory amplitude of 41.5 dB, covering a microwave-absorbing to shielding state, could be reached with only 0.2% weight fraction of the active ingredient RGO filler. The significant regulatory performance is attributed to the competitive effect between intrinsic dielectric attenuation of silicon nitride modified reduced graphene oxide (RGO-SiN), multiscattering of a 3D wrinkled structure, and evolution of the oriented RGO-SiN.

Abstract
As an emerging star of 2D nanomaterials, 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, named MXenes, present a large potential in various research areas owing to their intrinsic multilayer structure and intriguing physico-chemical properties. However, the fabrication and application of functional MXene-based devices still remain challenging as they are prone to oxidative degradation under ambient environment. Within this review, the preparation methods of MXenes focusing on the recent investigations on their thermal structure-stability relationships in inert, oxidizing, and aqueous environments are systematically introduced. Moreover, the key factors that affect the oxidation of MXenes, such as, atmosphere, temperature, composition, microstructure, and aqueous environment, are reviewed. Based on different scenarios, strategies for avoiding or delaying the oxidation of MXenes are proposed to encourage the utilization of MXenes in complicated environments, especially at high temperature. Furthermore, the chemistry of MXene-derived oxides is analyzed, which can offer perspectives on the further design and fabrication of novel 2D composites with the unique structures of MXenes being preserved.

Abstract
Ultrathin, transparent, and free-standing films assembled from low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDMs) are promising for various applications, including transparent heaters and membranes. However, the intact separation of the assembled films, especially those with controlled ultrathin thickness from deposited substrates, is a tremendous challenge, particularly for fast peeling off via self-detaching. Herein, we propose a versatile method to rapidly peel off ultrathin assembled LDM films, including three types of carbon nanotubes, vermiculite, Ag nanowires, and carbon nanotube@graphene, by dissolving the MXene interlayer from the layer-by-layer filtered MXene/LDM Janus films using diluted H2 O2 . The MXene sacrificial interlayers play dual roles, including physical isolation of LDM films from filter membranes and the production of bubbles that buoy ultrathin LDM films, making them free-standing. The integrality and self-detaching rate of the LDM films are determined by the loading and reactivity of the MXene interlayers. The intact LDM films can self-detach in 80 s by dissolving the optimized MXene interlayer and producing bubbles. The as-made free-standing ultrathin LDM films can be transferred to arbitrary substrates and exhibit outstanding performance as transparent heaters. This scalable method provides an efficient and versatile method to produce ultrathin, transparent, and free-standing LDM films and finds new applications for the growing MXene family.
