[PMID: 38851336 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
In order to realize the low-carbon development policy, the large-scale development and utilization of nuclear energy is very essential. Uranium is the key resource for nuclear industry. The extracting and recycling uranium from seawater and nuclear wastewater is necessary for secure uranium reserves, ensure energy security, control pollution and protect the environment. The novel nanomaterial MXene possesses the layered structure, high specific surface area, and modifiable surface terminal groups, which allowed it to enrich uranium. In addition, good photovoltaic and photothermal properties improves the ability to adsorb uranium. The excellent radiation resistance of the MAX phase strongly indicates the potential use of MXene as an effective uranium adsorbent. However, there are relatively few reviews on its application in uranium extraction and recovery. This review focuses on the recent advances in the use of MXene-based materials as highly efficient adsorbents for the recovery of uranium from seawater and nuclear wastewater. First, the structural, synthetic and characterization aspects of MXene materials are introduced. Subsequently, the adsorptive properties of MXene-based materials are evaluated in terms of uranium extraction recovery capability, selectivity, and reproducibility. Furthermore, the interaction mechanisms between uranium and MXene absorbers are discussed. Finally, the challenges for MXene materials in uranium adsorption applications are proposed for better design of new types of MXene-based adsorbents.

Highly conductive Ti 3C 2 MXene-supported CoAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets for ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of organophosphate pesticide fenitrothion. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:475. [PMID: 39037453 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06549-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
A novel electrochemical method is presented for ultrasensitive detection of the organophosphate pesticide (OPP) fenitrothion by using Ti3C2 MXene/CoAl-LDH nanocomposite as the electrode modifier. The Ti3C2 MXene/CoAl-LDH nanocomposite is synthesized by growing CoAl-LDH in situ on MXene nanosheets. The combination of two ultrathin 2D materials provides more active sites, larger specific surface area, superior adsorption properties, and better electrical conductivity, which leads to rapid electron-transfer and mass-transfer between the substrate electrode and analytes when it is acted as the electrochemical sensing material. In addition, through the chelation of phosphate groups with the Ti defect sites enriched in MXene, OPP is adsorbed on the electrode. Consequently, the corresponding modified electrode gives rise to a wide linear response range of 0.03 ~ 120 μmol/L for the differential pulse voltammetry detection of fenitrothion with a low detection limit of 5.8 nmol/L (3σ). The method offers good repeatability, stability, selectivity, and practicability for real samples. This strategy provides a reference platform for the electrochemical monitoring of trace OPPs residue by using MXene/LDH-based nanocomposites.

Abstract
MXenes are two-dimensional nanomaterials having alternating sheets of one atom-thick early transition metal layer and one atom-thick carbide or nitride layer. The external surface contains termination groups, whose nature depends on the etching agent used in the preparation procedure from the MAX phase. The present concept proposes that, due to their composition, the metal-surface termination groups make MXenes particularly suited as heterogeneous catalysts for some reactions. This proposal comes from the consideration that early transition metal atoms bonded to hydroxyl and oxo groups are a general type of active sites in heterogeneous catalysis and that similar catalytic centers can also be present in the MXene structure. After having presented the concept, we have selected V2C Mxene as an example to illustrate its catalytic activity and to show how the catalytic performance varies when the surface groups are modified. As a test reaction, we selected the aerobic oxidation of indane to the corresponding indanol/indanone mixture using molecular oxygen as terminal oxidizing reagent. Two previously reported procedures to modify the surface groups, namely surface dehydroxylation by thermal treatment under diluted hydrogen flow and surface oxidation with ammonium persulfate to convert some surface groups into oxo groups were used, observing in both cases a decrease in the catalytic activity of V2C. Based on this, VIII/IV-OH are proposed as catalytic centers in this aerobic oxidation. Overall, the present concept shows the merits of MXenes in heterogeneous catalysis, based on their chemical composition and the surface functionality.

Their great potential for biosensing has also been fully exploited after the discovery of their unique properties such as superior optical properties, excellent hydrophilicity, good thermal stability, excellent mechanical property, high electrical conductivity, biocompatibility, large surface area, and ease of surface functionalization. In the MXene-based luminescence sensing strategy, MXenes typically appear in the form of nanosheets, quantum dots and modified MXene nanocomposites, and they are utilized as different sensing platforms or as a luminescence source. In this review, we focused on the MXene-based luminescence sensing strategies, including fluorescence, electrochemiluminescence and chemiluminescence sensors and the comparison of their performance. Finally, the perspectives of the MXene-based luminescence sensors are discussed.

Abstract
In recent times, newly unveiled 2D materials exhibiting exceptional characteristics, such as MBenes and MXenes, have gained widespread application across diverse domains, encompassing electronic devices, catalysis, energy storage, sensors, and various others. Nonetheless, numerous technical bottlenecks persist in the development of high-performance, structurally flexible, and adjustable electronic device materials. Research investigations have demonstrated that 2D van der Waals superlattices (vdW SLs) structures comprising materials exhibit exceptional electrical, mechanical, and optical properties. In this work, the advantages of both materials are combined and compose the vdW SLs structure of MBenes and MXenes, thus obtaining materials with excellent electronic properties. Furthermore, it integrates machine learning (ML) with first-principles methods to forecast the electrical properties of MBene/MXene superlattice materials. Initially, various configurations of MBene/MXene superlattice materials are explored, revealing that distinct stacking methods exert significant influence on the electronic structure of MBene/MXene materials. Specifically, the BABA-type stacking of CrB (layer A) and Co2CO2 MXene (layer B) is most stable configureation. Subsequently, multiple descriptors of the structure are constructed to predict the density of states of vdW SLs through the employment of ML techniques. The best model achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) as low as 0.147 eV.

Abstract
Renewable energy storage using electrochemical storage devices is extensively used in various field applications. High-power density supercapacitors and high-energy density rechargeable batteries are some of the most effective devices, while lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common. Due to the scarcity of Li resources and serious safety concerns during the construction of LIBs, development of safer and cheaper technologies with high performance is warranted. Magnesium is one of the most abundant and replaceable elements on earth, and it is safe as it does not generate dendrite following cycling. However, the lack of suitable electrode materials remains a critical issue in developing electrochemical energy storage devices. 2D MXenes can be used to construct composites with different dimensions, owing to their suitable physicochemical properties and unique magnesium-ion adsorption structure. In this study, the construction strategies of MXene in different dimensions, including its physicochemical properties as an electrode material in magnesium ion energy storage devices are reviewed. Research advancements of MXene and MXene-based composites in various kinds of magnesium-ion storage devices are also analyzed to understand its energy storage mechanisms. Finally, current opportunities, challenges, and future prospects are also briefly discussed to provide crucial information for future research.

Abstract
MXene, a new intercalation pseudocapacitive electrode material, possesses a high theoretical capacitance for supercapacitor application. However, limited accessible interlayer space and active sites are major challenges to achieve this high capacitance in practical application. In order to stimulate the electrochemical activity of MXene to a greater extent, herein, a method of hydrothermal treatment in NaOH solution with reducing reagent-citric acid is first proposed. After this treatment, the gravimetric capacitance of MXene exhibits a significant enhancement, about 250% of the original value, reaching 543 F g-1 at 2 mV s-1. This improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the tailoring of an interlayer structure and surface chemistry state. An expanded and homogenized interlayer space is created, which provides enough space for electrolyte ions storage. The -F terminations are replaced with O-containing groups, which enhances the hydrophilicity, facilitating the electrolyte's accessibility to MXene's surface, and makes MXene show stronger adsorption for electrolyte ion-H+, providing sufficient electrochemical active sites. The change in terminations further leads to the increase in Ti valence, which becomes more prone to reduction. This work establishes full knowledge of the rational MXene design for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
MXene is a type of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide and nitride, and its promising energy storage materials highlight its characteristics of high density, high metal-like conductivity, tunable terminals, and charge storage mechanisms known as pseudo-alternative capacitance. MXenes are a class of 2D materials synthesized by chemical etching of the A element in MAX phases. Since they were first discovered more than 10 years ago, the number of distinct MXenes has grown substantially to include numerous MnXn-1 (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5), solid solutions (ordered and disordered), and vacancy solids. To date, MXenes used in energy storage system applications have been broadly synthesized, and this paper summarizes the current developments, successes, and challenges of using MXenes in supercapacitors. This paper also reports the synthesis approaches, various compositional issues, material and electrode topology, chemistry, and hybridization of MXene with other active materials. The present study also summarizes MXene's electrochemical properties, applicability in pliant-structured electrodes, and energy storage capabilities when using aqueous/non-aqueous electrolytes. Finally, we conclude by discussing how to reshape the face of the latest MXene and what to consider when designing the next generation of MXene-based capacitors and supercapacitors.

Abstract
Surface modification to improve the oxidation stability and dispersibility of MXene in diverse organic media is a facile strategy for broadening its application. Among the various ligands that can be grafted on the MXene surface, oleylamine (OAm), with amine functionalities, is an advantageous candidate owing to its strong interactions and commercial viability. OAms are grafted onto MXene through covalent bonds induced by nucleophilic reactions and H bonds in liquid interface reactions at room temperature. In addition, this grafting behavior of the ligand was characterized by a reduction in the slope with an increase in the ligand concentration (Cl), confirming that the OAms were grafted via Langmuir-like behavior, and the monolayer of OAms was developed via two distinct steps (I: lying-down phase; II: ordered monolayer). MXene nanosheets modified by OAm (OAm-MX) are highly dispersible in a wide range of organic solvents owing to the alkyl chain of the OAms, which induces hydrophobic properties on the surface of MXene. The OAm-MX dispersion exhibits outstanding oxidation and dispersion stability and remarkable coating performance on a wide range of substrates owing to their excellent solution processability. Therefore, this study provides fundamental insights into the adsorption behavior and interaction between amine ligands and MXene nanosheets for the surface chemistry of MXene.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with chemical and structural diversity have piqued the interest of the scientific community due to their superior photonic, mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic capabilities that distinguish them from their bulk counterparts. Among these 2D materials, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides with a general chemical formula of Mn+1XnTx (where n = 1-3), together known as MXenes, have gained tremendous popularity and demonstrated competitive performance in biosensing applications. In this review, we focus on the cutting-edge advances in MXene-related biomaterials, with a systematic summary on their design, synthesis, surface engineering approaches, unique properties, and biological properties. We particularly emphasize the property-activity-effect relationship of MXenes at the nano-bio interface. We also discuss the recent trends in the application of MXenes in accelerating the performance of conventional point of care (POC) devices towards more practical approaches as the next generation of POC tools. Finally, we explore in depth the existing problems, challenges, and potential for future improvement of MXene-based materials for POC testing, with the goal of facilitating their early realization of biological applications.

Abstract
Ti3C2Tx MXene is a promising Faradic capacitive deionization (CDI) electrode for high salt removal in future desalination, whereas the surface termination group of fluoride (-F) significantly impedes ion access to Ti3C2 and charge-transfer efficiency. Herein, we propose an electrochemically etched strategy to synthesize -F-free Ti3C2Tx through three-electrode cyclic voltammetry scanning within a narrowed potential window in an alkaline electrolyte. The resulting assembly of an asymmetric electrochemical-etched Ti3C2Tx//activated carbon CDI device can deliver an excellent salt removal capacity of 20.27 mg·g-1 with an adsorption rate of 1.01 mg g-1 min-1 owing to the enhanced hydrophilicity and ion transport. The tiny CDI device is demonstrated, which can generate an electric current during the electrosorption of salt ions, thus facilitating the powering of a red light-emitting diode. This study opens a new avenue for the surface chemistry of Ti3C2Tx and is expected to achieve future applications in desalination and renewable energy.

Abstract
For the energy supply of smart and portable equipment, high performance supercapacitor electrode materials are drawing more and more concerns. Conductive Ni-MOF is a class of materials with higher conductivity compared with traditional MOFs, but it continues to lack stability. Specifically, MXene (Ti3C2Tx) has been employed as an electrochemical substrate for its high mechanical stability and abundant active sites, which can be combined with MOFs to improve its electrochemical performance. In this paper, a novel Ni-MOF nanorods array/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposite was prepared via a facile hydrothermal reaction, which makes good use of the advantages of conductive Ni-MOF and high strength Ti3C2Tx. The high density forest-like Ni-MOF array in situ grown on the surface of Ti3C2Tx can provide abundant active electrochemical sites and construct a pathway for effective ion transport. The formation of a "Ti-O···Ni" bond accomplished during an in situ growth reaction endows the strong interfacial interaction between Ni-MOF and Ti3C2Tx. As a result, the Ni-MOF/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposite can achieve a high specific capacitance of 497.6 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1 and remain over 66% of the initial capacitance when the current density increases five times. In addition, the influence of the Ti3C2Tx concentration and reaction time on the morphology and performance of the resultant products were also investigated, leading to a good understanding of the formation process of the nanocomposite and the electrochemical mechanism for a supercapacitive reaction.

Abstract
Composites of TiO2 and Ti3C2Tx MXene are of great interest because they combine superior TiO2 photocatalytic activity with excellent MXene conductivity. As these composites have conventionally been prepared using methods requiring high temperatures, a process for producing similar materials at reduced temperature could be beneficial for applications in flexible and printed electronics. Therefore, we used low-temperature dielectric barrier discharge to develop a method for forming crystalline TiO2 by treating Ti3C2Tx MXene surfaces with high-power-density oxygen plasma comprising various energetic and reactive oxygen species, which oxidize MXene surfaces and form TiO2 nanoparticles on disordered graphitic carbon sheets within a few seconds. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the plasma-induced morphological changes to elucidate the TiO2 formation mechanism. The MXene surface chemistry was studied in detail using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio modelling. The crystalline phase of TiO2 was further studied using transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The results presented here suggest the formation of small anatase nanoparticles on the surface of MXenes within just seconds of plasma exposure. Nanoparticles grew with prolonged plasma treatment and a transition from anatase to rutile was observed. Considering that the temperature of plasma was always below 70 °C, the oxygen plasma process for the preparation of TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites is an excellent candidate for application on temperature-sensitive substrates in flexible and printed electronics.

Abstract
Since their discovery, MXenes have conferred various intriguing features because of their distinctive structures. Focus has been placed on using MXenes in electrochemical energy storage including a supercapacitor showing significant and promising development. However, like other 2D materials, MXene layers unavoidably experience stacking agglomeration because of its great van der Waals forces, which causes a significant loss of electrochemically active sites. With the help of MoS2, a better MXene-based electrodecan is planned to fabricate supercapacitors with the remarkable electrochemical performance. The synthesis of MXene/MoS2 and the ground effects of supercapacitors are currently being analysed by many researchers internationally. The performance of commercial supercapacitors might be improved via electrode architecture. This analysis will support the design of MXene and MoS2 hybrid electrodes for highly effective supercapacitors. Improved electrode capacitance, voltage window and energy density are discussed in this literature study. With a focus on the most recent electrochemical performance of both MXene and MoS2-based electrodes and devices, this review summarises recent developments in materials synthesis and its characterisation. It also helps to identify the difficulties and fresh possibilities MXenes MoS2 and its hybrid heterostructure in this developing field of energy storage. Future choices for constructing supercapacitors will benefit from this review. This review examines the newest developments in MXene/MoS2 supercapacitors, primarily focusing on compiling literature from 2017 through 2022. This review also presents an overview of the design (structures), recent developments, and challenges of the emerging electrode materials, with thoughts on how well such materials function electrochemically in supercapacitors.

Abstract
AlH3 is a metastable hydride with a theoretical hydrogen capacity of 10.01 wt % and is very easy to decompose during ball milling especially in the presence of many catalysts, which will lead to the attenuation of the available hydrogen capacity. In this work, AlH3 was ball milled in air (called "air-milling") with layered Ti3C2 to prepare a Ti3C2-catalyzed AlH3 hydrogen storage material. Such air-milled and Ti3C2-catalyzed AlH3 possesses excellent hydrogen storage performances, with a low initial decomposition temperature of just 61 °C and a high hydrogen release capacity of 8.1 wt %. In addition, 6.9 wt % of hydrogen can be released within 20 min at constantly 100 °C, with a low activation energy as low as 40 kJ mol-1. Air-milling will lead to the formation of an Al2O3 oxide layer on the AlH3 particles, which will prevent continuous decomposition of AlH3 when milling with active layered Ti3C2. The layered Ti3C2 will grip on and intrude into the AlH3 particle oxide layers and then catalyze the decomposition of AlH3 during heating. The strategy employing air-milling as a synthesis method and utilizing layered Ti3C2 as a catalyst in this work can solve the key issue of severe decomposition during ball milling with catalysts economically and conveniently and thus achieve both high-capacity and low-temperature hydrogen storage of AlH3. This air-milling method is also effective for other active catalysts toward both reducing the decomposition temperature and increasing the available hydrogen capacity of AlH3.

Abstract
2D MXenes have attracted considerable attention due to their high electronic conductivity, tunable metal compositions, functional termination groups, low ion diffusion barriers, and abundant active sites. However, MXenes suffer from sheet stacking and partial surface oxidation, limiting their energy storage and water treatment development. To solve these problems and enhance the performance of MXenes in practical applications, various hierarchical MXene/transition metal oxide (MXene/TMO) heterostructures are rationally designed and constructed. The hierarchical MXene/TMO heterostructures can not only prevent the stacking of MXene sheets and improve the electronic conductivity and buffer the volume change of TMOs during the electrochemical reaction process. The synergistic effect of conductive MXenes and active TMOs also makes MXene/TMO heterostructures promising electrode materials for energy storage and seawater desalination. This review mainly introduces and discusses the recent research progress in MXene/TMO heterostructures, focusing on their synthetic strategies, heterointerface engineering, and applications in rechargeable batteries, capacitors, and capacitive deionization (CDI). Finally, the key challenges and prospects for the future development of the MXene/TMO heterostructures in rechargeable batteries, capacitors, and CDI are proposed.

Abstract
Multiple strategies have been employed to improve the performance of label-free immunosensors, among which building highly conductive interfaces and introducing suitable biocompatible carriers for immobilizing antibodies or antigens are believed to be efficient in most cases. Inspired by this, a label-free immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection was constructed by assembling AuNPs and β-CD (Au-β-CD) on the surface of FTO modified with PANI-decorated f-MXene (MXene@PANI). Driven by the high electron conductivity of MXene@PANI and the excellent capability of Au-β-CD for antibody immobilization, the BSA/anti-CEA/Au-β-CD/MXene@PANI/FTO immunosensor exhibits balanced performance towards CEA detection, with a practical linear range of 0.5–350 ng/mL and a low detection limit of 0.0429 ng/mL. Meanwhile, the proposed sensor presents satisfying selectivity, repeatability, and stability, as well as feasibility in clinic serum samples. This work would enlighten the prospective research on the alternative strategies in constructing advanced immunosensors.

Abstract
Due to their unique layered microstructure, the presence of various functional groups at the surface, earth abundance, and attractive electrical, optical, and thermal properties, MXenes are considered promising candidates for the solution of energy- and environmental-related problems. It is seen that the energy conversion and storage capacity of MXenes can be enhanced by changing the material dimensions, chemical composition, structure, and surface chemistry. Hence, it is also essential to understand how one can easily improve the structure–property relationship from an applied point of view. In the current review, we reviewed the fabrication, properties, and potential applications of MXenes. In addition, various properties of MXenes such as structural, optical, electrical, thermal, chemical, and mechanical have been discussed. Furthermore, the potential applications of MXenes in the areas of photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, nitrogen fixation, gas sensing, cancer therapy, and supercapacitors have also been outlooked. Based on the reported works, it could easily be observed that the properties and applications of MXenes can be further enhanced by applying various modification and functionalization approaches. This review also emphasizes the recent developments and future perspectives of MXenes-based composite materials, which will greatly help scientists working in the fields of academia and material science.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 307:102730. [PMID: 35868175 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Corrosion is a natural process between a metal and its environment that can gradually cause catastrophic damage to the metal equipment, which would have economic implications. Consequently, several protective methods have been utilized to prevent metals from severe degradation. Organic polymeric coatings have been widely used as the most convenient and cost-effective method to boost metals' anti-corrosion properties. Nonetheless, these coatings have a significant amount of solvent, resulting in shrinkage and micro defects in the films during the curing process. Many studies have verified that transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) can form a "labyrinth effect" in the polymeric coatings due to their "nano-barrier effect". Furthermore, based on their sheet-like structures, they can considerably cover the surface defects of the polymeric films. Therefore, the penetration of corrosive elements can be substantially curbed. It is the first review that specifically focused on the new family of 2D nanomaterials, i.e., MXenes, and discussed their applications in corrosion protection systems. The MXenes' pros and cons in the polymeric matrixes as nanofillers will be clarified. Moreover, the synthesis and functionalization methods of the MXenes, their applications, and corrosion protection mechanism will be explored. Subsequently, the MXenes' superiority over other 2D nanomaterials will be highlighted while their future perspectives and industrial applications will be predicted.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) with exceptional theoretical capacity have garnered significant interest in large-scale electrochemical energy storage devices due to their low cost, abundant material, inherent safety, high specific energy, and ecofriendly nature. Metal carbides/nitrides, known as MXenes, have emerged as a large family of 2D transition metal carbides or carbonitrides with excellent properties, e.g., high electrical conductivity, large surface functional groups (e.g., F, O, and OH), low energy barriers for the diffusion of electrolyte ions with wide interlayer spaces. After a decade of effort, significant development has been achieved in the synthesis, properties, and applications of MXenes. Thus, it has opened up various exciting opportunities to construct advanced MXene-based nanostructures for ZIBs with excellent specific energy and power. Herein, this review summarizes the advances across multiple synthesis routes, related properties, morphological and structural characteristics, and chemistries of MXenes for ZIBs. The recent development of MXene-based electrodes is introduced, and electrolytes for ZIBs are elucidated in detail. MXene-based rocking chair ZIBs, strategies to enhance the performance of MXene-based cathodes, suppress the dendrites in MXene-based anodes, and MXene-based flexible ZIBs are pointed out. A rational design and modification of the MXenes as well as the production of composites with metal oxides exhibits promise in solving issues and enhancing the electrochemical performance of ZIBs. Finally, the present challenges and future prospects for MXene-based ZIBs are discussed.

Abstract
Employing first principles calculations, we systematically investigated the geometrical and electronic structures of pure, titanium defected (DTi) and carbon defected (DC) Ti2C materials. We found the defected Ti2C exhibits stronger metallic property than pure Ti2C due to the enhanced density of Ti-d orbital state near the Fermi level. We then studied the adsorption as well as the infrared spectrum (IR) response of the four kinds of gas molecules (CH4 , NH3 , CO and NO) on pure, DTi and DC Ti2C surfaces. Simulations show that CO and NO molecules are chemically adsorbed on all Ti2C surface with similar adsorption sites. However, CH4 and NH3 molecules would be dissociated on Ti2C surface. Negative values of crystal orbital Hamilton population as well as the PDOS calculations show that the red shift in IR spectra of CO and NO molecules originates from the decreasing bonding strength of probe molecules. The present work provides rich insight for the adsorption and identification for different Ti2C materials.

Abstract
With a decade of effort, significant progress has been achieved in the synthesis, processing, and applications of MXenes. Metal ions play many crucial roles, such as in MXene delamination, structure regulation, surface modification, MXene composite construction, and even some unique applications. The different roles of metal ions are attributed to their many interactions with MXenes and the unique nature of MXenes, including their layered structure, surface chemistry, and the existence of multi-valent transition metals. Interactions with metal ions are crucial for the energy storage of MXene electrodes, especially in metal ion batteries and supercapacitors with neutral electrolytes. This review aims to provide a good understanding of the interactions between metal ions and MXenes, including the classification and fundamental chemistry of their interactions, in order to achieve their more effective utilization and rational design. It also provides new perspectives on MXene evolution and exfoliation, which may suggest optimized synthesis strategies. In this respect, the different effects of metal ions on MXene synthesis and processing are clarified, and the corresponding mechanisms are elaborated. Research progress on the roles metal ions have in MXene applications is also introduced.

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
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
Surface terminations of two-dimensional MXene (Ti3 C2 Tx ) considerably impact its physicochemical properties. Commonly used etching methods usually introduce -F surface terminations or metallic impurities in MXene. We present a new molten-salt-assisted electrochemical etching method to synthesize fluorine-free Ti3 C2 Cl2 . Using electrons as reaction agents, cathode reduction and anode etching can be spatially isolated; thus, no metallics are present in the Ti3 C2 Cl2 product. The surface terminations can be in situ modified from -Cl to -O and/or -S, which considerably shortens the modification steps and enriches the variety of surface terminations. The obtained -O-terminated Ti3 C2 Tx are excellent electrode materials for supercapacitors, exhibiting capacitances of 225 F g-1 at 1.0 Ag-1 , good rate performance (91.1 % at 10 Ag-1 ), and excellent capacitance retention (100 % after 10000 charge/discharge cycles at 10 Ag-1 ), which is superior to multi-layered Ti3 C2 Tx prepared by other etching methods.

Abstract
Recently, 2D nanomaterials such as transition metal carbides or nitrides (MXenes) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted ample attention in the field of energy storage devices specifically in supercapacitors (SCs) because of their high metallic conductivity, wide interlayer spacing, large surface area, and 2D layered structures. However, the low potential window (ΔV ≈ 0.6 V) of MXene e.g., Ti3 C2 Tx limits the energy density of the SCs. Herein, asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) are fabricated by assembling the exfoliated Ti3 C2 Tx (Ex-Ti3 C2 Tx ) as the negative electrode and transition metal chalcogenide (MoS3- x ) coated 3D-printed nanocarbon framework (MoS3- x @3DnCF) as the positive electrode utilizing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/H2 SO4 gel electrolyte, which provides a wide ΔV of 1.6 V. The Ex-Ti3 C2 Tx possesses wrinkled sheets which prevent the restacking of Ti3 C2 Tx 2D layers. The MoS3- x @3DnCF holds a porous structure and offers diffusion-controlled intercalated pseudocapacitance that enhances the overall capacitance. The 3D printing allows a facile fabrication of customized shaped MoS3- x @3DnCF electrodes. Employing the advantages of the 3D-printing facilities, two different ASCs, such as sandwich- and interdigitated-configurations are fabricated. The customized ASCs provide excellent capacitive performance. Such ASCs combining the MXene and electroactive 3D-printed nanocarbon framework can be used as potential energy storage devices in modern electronics.

Abstract
The fast and reversible potassiation/depotassiation of anode materials remains an elusive yet intriguing goal. Herein, a class of the P-doping-induced orthorhombic CoTe2 nanowires with Te vacancy defects supported on MXene (o-P-CoTe2 /MXene) is designed and prepared, taking advantage of the synergistic effects of the conductive o-P-CoTe2 arrays with rich Te vacancy defects and the elastic MXene sheets with self-autoadjustable function. Consequently, the o-P-CoTe2 /MXene superstructure exhibits boosted potassium-storage performance, in terms of high reversible capacity (373.7 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 200 cycles), remarkable rate capability (168.2 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 ), and outstanding long-term cyclability (0.011% capacity decay per cycle over 2000 cycles at 2 A g-1 ), representing the best performance in transition-metal-dichalcogenides-based anodes to date. Impressively, the flexible full battery with o-P-CoTe2 /MXene anode achieves a satisfying energy density of 275 Wh kg-1 and high bending stability. The kinetics analysis and first-principles calculations reveal superior pseudocapacitive property, high electronic conductivity, and favorable K+ ion adsorption and diffusion capability, corroborating fast K+ ion storage. Especially, ex situ characterizations confirm o-P-CoTe2 /MXene undergoes reversible evolutions of initially proceeding with the K+ ion insertion, followed by the conversion reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Due to their ultrathin layered structure and rich elemental variety, MXenes are emerging as a promising electrode candidate in energy generation and storage. MXenes are generally synthesized via hazardous fluoride-containing reagents from robust MAX materials, unfortunately resulting in plenty of inert fluoride functional groups on the surface that noticeably decline their performance. Density functional theory calculations are used to show the etching feasibility of hydrochloric acid (HCl) on various MAX phases. Based on this theoretical guidance, fluoride-free Mo2 C MXenes with high efficiency about 98% are experimentally demonstrated. The Mo2 C electrodes produced by this process exhibit high electrochemical performance in supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries owing to the chosen surface functional groups created via the HCl etch process. This strategy enables the development of fluoride-free MXenes and opens a new window to explore their potential in energy-storage applications.

Abstract
Single atom catalysts (SACs) have shown their noticeable potential and gradually become a new favorite in catalytic field due to the particular selectivity, high catalytic performance, and strong durability. The most important factor in the synthesis of SACs is the selection of appropriate support and formation of metal-support interaction. Among a large number of nanomaterials, MXenes can be utilized as benign supports for fixing SACs because of their expansive specific surface area, regulable bandgap, superior electronic conductivity, and strong mechanical stability. The structure and property of MXenes can be manipulated by changing transition metal elements and surface termination. Here, the uniqueness and superiority of MXenes as superexcellent supports for confining SACs are analyzed from structure and property. The synthetic strategy of MXene-supported SACs is also summarized, especially emphasizing the immobilization of isolated atom against aggregation by utilizing the formidable metal-support covalent coordination interaction. In addition, the applications of MXene-supported SACs in electrocatalytic field are highlighted, including hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, overall water splitting, oxygen reduction reaction, and nitrogen reduction reaction. Finally, the challenges and prospects are pointed out for the further understanding and practical application of MXene-supported SACs in electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) is a promising cathode material for Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) due to its intrinsic conductivity and redox activity; however, the achievements of PANI in high-performance ZIBs are largely hindered by its instability during the repeated charge/discharge. Taking advantage of the high conductivity, flexibility, and grafting ability together, a surface-engineered Ti3C2Tx MXene is designed as a silver bullet to fight against the deprotonation and swelling/shrinking issues occurring in the redox process of PANI, which are the origins of its instability. Specifically, the sulfonic-group-grafted Ti3C2Tx(S-Ti3C2Tx) continuously provides protons to improve the protonation degree of PANI and maintains the polymer backbone at a locally low pH, which effectively inhibits deprotonation and brings high redox activity along with good reversibility. Meanwhile, the conductive and flexible natures of S-Ti3C2Tx assist the fast redox reaction of PANI and concurrently buffer its corresponding swelling/shrinking. Therefore, the S-Ti3C2Tx-enhanced PANI cathode simultaneously achieves a high discharge capacity of 262 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, a superior rate capability of 160 mAh g-1 at 15 A g-1, and a good cyclability over 5000 cycles with 100% coulombic efficiency. This work enlightens the development of versatile MXene via surface engineering for advanced batteries.

Abstract
Electrolysis of water is currently one of the cleanest and most efficient ways to produce high-purity hydrogen. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode of electrolysis is the key factor affecting the reaction efficiency, which involves the transfer of four electrons and can slow down the overall reaction process. In this work, using nickel foam coated with MXene (Ti3C2T x ) as the carrier, a three-dimensional flower-shaped layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) is grown on Ti3C2T x by a hydrothermal method to fabricate a NiCo-LDH/Ti3C2T x /NF hybrid electrocatalyst for enhanced OER performance. The results reveal that the hybrid electrocatalyst has excellent OER activity in alkaline solution, in which a low overpotential of 223 mV and a small Tafel slope of 47.2 mV dec-1 can be achieved at a current density of 100 mA cm-2. The interface interaction and charge transfer between Ti3C2T x and NiCo-LDH can accelerate the electron transfer rate during the redox process and improve the catalytic activity of the overall reaction. This NiCo-LDH/Ti3C2T x /NF hybrid electrocatalyst may have important research significance and great application potential in catalytic electrolysis of water.

It is shown that natural rubber latex foam (NRF) with 2 and 3 phr of MXene shows obviously enhanced tensile strength by 171% and 157% separately as compared to that of neat NRF. Furthermore, the composite also has better electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding than NRF, which can be used in the automotive industry, aviation industry, and many other aspects.

Abstract
MXenes, a large family of two-dimensional (2D) early transition metal carbides and nitrides, have excellent electrical and electrochemical properties, which can also be explored in assemblies with other 2D materials, like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), creating heterostructures with unique properties. Understanding the interaction mechanism between 2D materials is critical for the design and manipulation of these 2D heterostructures. Our previous work investigated the interaction between SiO2 and two MXenes (Ti3C2Tx and Ti2CTx). However, no experimental research has been done on MXene interlayer interactions and interactions in MXene heterostructures. Here, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM) with SiO2 tip and Ti3C2Tx and Ti2CTx MXene-coated tips, respectively, to measure the adhesion energies of graphene, MoSe2, Ti3C2Tx, and Ti2CTx MXene with other 2D materials. The measured adhesion energies show that only the interfaces involving graphene demonstrate dependence on the number of material monolayers in a stack. Comparing 40 interacting pairs of 2D materials, the lowest adhesion energy (∼0.27 J/m2) was found for the interfaces involving MoSe2 and the highest adhesion energy was observed for the interfaces involving Ti3C2Tx (∼1.23 J/m2). The obtained set of experimental data for 2D interfaces involving MXenes provides a basis for a future in-depth understanding of adhesive mechanisms at interfaces between 2D materials, which is an important topic for the design of 2D heterostructures with controlled interfacial strength and properties.

Abstract
With increasing research interest in the field of flexible electronics and wearable devices, intensive efforts have been paid to the development of novel inorganic-organic hybrid materials. As a newly developed two-dimensional (2D) material family, MXenes present many advantages compared with other 2D analogs, especially the variable surface terminal groups, thus the infinite possibility for the regulation of surface physicochemical properties. However, there is still less attention paid to the interfacial compatibility of the MXene-organic hybrids. To this end, this review will briefly summarize the recent progress on MXene-organic hybrids, offers a deeper understanding of the interaction and collaborative mechanism between the MXenes and organic component. After the discussion of the structure and surface characters of MXenes, strategies towards MXene-organic hybrids are introduced based on the interfacial interactions. Based on different application scenarios, the advantages of MXene-organic hybrids in constructing flexible devices are then discussed. The challenges and outlook on MXene-organic hybrids are also presented.

Abstract
Chemical etching of metals generally brings about undesirable surface damage accompanied by deteriorated performance. However, new possibilities in view of structured interfaces and functional surfaces can be explored by wisely incorporating corrosion chemistry. Here, an ultrafast route to scalable Al foils with desired porous structures originating from Fe(III)-induced oxidation etching was presented. Coupling with efficient electron polarization involving microwave interaction, straightforward surface engineering is well established on various commercial Al foils within minutes, which can be successfully extended to bulk Al alloys. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, the well-defined porous Al foils featuring regulated surface energy, demonstrate great potential as current collectors in promoting cycling stability, for example, 85.2% reversible capacity sustained after 550 cycles (comparable to commercial Al/C foils), and energy density, that is, approximately 3 times of that by using pristine Al foils for LiFePO4-Li half cells.

Abstract
The Li-S battery has emerged as a promising next-generation system for advanced energy storage. Notwithstanding the recent progress, the problematic polysulfide shuttling, retarded sulfur redox, and low output of volumetric capacity remain daunting challenges toward its practicability. In response, this work demonstrates herein a universal approach to in situ craft MOx-MXene (M: Ti, V, and Nb) heterostructures as heavy and multifunctional hosts to harvest good battery performances with synchronous polysulfide immobilization and conversion. Theoretical calculations indicate that the in situ implanted oxides boost the reaction kinetics of polysulfide transformation without affecting the intrinsic conductivity of MXene. As a result, the representative VOx-V2C/S electrode enables a high volumetric capacity (offering 1645.98 mAh cm-3 at 0.2 C) and cycling stability (retaining 631.17 mAh cm-3 after 1500 cycles at 2.0 C with a capacity decay of 0.03% per cycle). More encouragingly, 3D-printed sulfur electrodes harnessing VOx-V2C hosts readily harvest an areal capacity of 9.74 mAh cm-2 at 0.05 C under an elevated sulfur loading of 10.78 mg cm-2, holding promise for the development of practically viable Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Taking into consideration the advantages of the highly theoretical capacity of antimony (Sb) and abundant surface redox reaction sites of Na+ pre-intercalated 3D porous Ti3C2Tx (Na-Ti3C2Tx) architectures, we elaborately designed the Sb/Na-Ti3C2Tx hybrid with Sb nanoparticles homogeneously distributed in 3D porous Na-Ti3C2Tx architectures through a facile electrostatic attraction and carbothermic reduction process. Na-Ti3C2Tx architectures with more open structures and larger active specific surface area not only could certainly alleviate volume changes and hinder the aggregation of Sb nanoparticles in the cycling process to improve the structural stability but also significantly strengthen the electron-transfer kinetics and provide unblocked K+ diffusion channels to promote ionic/electronic transport rate. Furthermore, the ultrafine Sb nanoparticles could efficiently shorten K+ transport distance and expose more accessible active sites to improve capacity utilization. DFT calculations further indicate that the Sb/Na-Ti3C2Tx anode effectively decreases the adsorption energy of K+ and accelerates the potassiation process. Benefiting from the synergistic effect, it exhibits an outstanding specific capacity of 392.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 450 cycles and a stable capacity reservation with a capacity fading rate of 0.03% per cycle at 0.5 A g-1. Our work may encourage further research on advanced MXene-based hybrid materials for high-performance PIBs.
