Abstract
Exploiting novel materials with high specific capacities is crucial for the progress of advanced energy storage devices. Intentionally constructing functional heterostructures based on a variety of two-dimensional (2D) substances proves to be an extremely efficient method for capitalizing on the shared benefits of these materials. By elaborately designing the structure, a greatly escalated steadiness can be achieved throughout electrochemical cycles, along with boosted electron transfer kinetics. In this study, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was utilized to alter the surface composition of multilayer Ti3C2Tx MXene, contributing to contriving various layered heterostructure materials through a precise adjustment of the reaction temperature. The optimal composite materials at a reaction temperature of 500 °C (defined as MX500), incorporating MXene as the conductive substrate, exhibited outstanding stability and high coulombic efficiency during electrochemical cycling. Meanwhile, the reactive sites are increased by using TiS2 and TiO2 at the heterogeneous interfaces, which sustains a specific capacity of 449 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 and further demonstrates their exceptional electrochemical characteristics. Additionally, the noted pseudocapacitive properties, like MXene materials, further highlight the diverse capabilities of intuitive material design. This study illuminates the complex details of surface modification in multilayer MXene and offers a crucial understanding of the strategic creation of heterostructures, significantly impacting sophisticated electrochemical applications.

Recently, substantial advancements have been realized in the exploration of MXene-based composites as energy storage materials, encompassing their synthesis, design, and the comprehension of charge storage mechanisms. This paper aims to propose a comprehensive summary of the latest developments in MXene-based composites as electrode materials for sodium ion batteries and potassium ion batteries, with a particular emphasis on the enhanced physicochemical properties resulting from composite formation. Moreover, the challenges faced by MXene materials in sodium ion batteries and potassium ion batteries are thoroughly discussed, and future research directions to further advance this field are proposed.

Abstract
This study proposes the fabrication of a highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for label-free detection of EpCAM antigen. MXenes, novel 2D materials have become popular owing to their unique electrochemical properties. Unlike conventional immunosensors, which are unable to detect the carcinoma at primary stage and also time consuming, the use of highly conducting MXene provides a label-free and highly sensitive immunosensor. Herein, we develop a unique immunosensor, which is based on the in-situ growth of 2D-TiO2 onto the novel 2D-Ti3C2Tx sheets by hydrothermal treatment. The 2D/2D TiO2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid provides a platform having a large effective surface area, and more number of electrochemically active sites to enhance the electron transfer rate through the redox probe. The designed sensing platform, BSA/anti-EpCAM/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx@ITO shows a broad linear range (1 ag/mL to 10 ng/mL) with high sensitivity (6.661 µA ag-1 mL cm-2), and low detection limit (0.7 ag/mL) for EpCAM antigen detection under optimized conditions. The proposed immunosensor possesses good reproducibility, long-term stability, and outstanding selectivity and specificity. Moreover, the clinical applicability of the novel immunosensor is tested in spiked human serum showing good recovery.

Abstract
Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted great research interest in new-generation large-scale energy storage considering their abundant source, low cost, and suitable working potential. Herein, a hierarchical TiO2/Ti3C2 hybrid is developed via a green, facile water steam etching method for realizing an efficient and durable anode material for PIBs. In this hierarchical assembly, the TiO2 nanoparticles anchored on the Ti3C2 surface contribute a high pseudocapacitance while mitigating the restacking of the Ti3C2 MXene skeleton, which ensures mechanical robustness to accommodate large K+ ions. Benefiting from the amalgamation of structural properties and the synergistic effects stemming from the individual constituents, the optimized TiO2/Ti3C2 anode harvests remarkable performance in the potassium ion storage, including a high reversible capacity of ∼255 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 1300 cycles as well as an outstanding long-term cycling performance and rate capability (a high capacity of ∼230 mA h g-1 even after intensive 10 000 cycles at 2 A g-1). The excellent TiO2/Ti3C2 anode enables the assembled pouch-cell coupling PTCDA cathode to deliver a capacity of ∼173 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and retain 120 mA h g-1 after 30 cycles. The employment of the pouch-cell in successfully powering the LED module showcases its application prospect for advanced PIBs.

Abstract
Constructing nanostructures with high structural stability and ultrafast electrochemical reaction kinetics as anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is a big challenge. Herein, the robust 2D VS2 / Ti3 C2 Tx MXene nanostructures with the strong Ti─S covalent bond synthesized by a one-pot self-assembly approach are developed. The strong interfacial interaction renders the material of good structural durability and enhanced reaction kinetics. Meanwhile, the enlarged and few-layered MXene nanosheets can be easily obtained according to this interaction, providing a conductive network for sufficient electrolyte penetration and rapid charge transfer. As predicted, the VS2 /MXene nanostructures exhibit an extremely low sodium diffusion barrier confirmed by DFT calculations and small charge transfer impedance evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. Therefore, the SIBs based on the VS2 /MXene electrode present first-class electrochemical performance with the ultrahigh average initial columbic efficiency of 95.08% and excellent sodium-ion storage capacity of 424.6 mAh g-1 even at 10 A g-1 . It also shows an outstanding sodium-ion storage capacity of 514.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a capacity retention of nearly 100% within 500 times high-rate cycling. Such impressive performance demonstrates the successful synthesis strategy and the great potential of interfacial interactions for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
MXene/graphene oxide composites with strong interfacial interactions were constructed by ball milling in vacuum. Graphene oxide (GO) acted as a bridge between Ti3C2Tx nanosheets in the composite material, which could buffer the mechanical shear force during the ball milling process, avoid the structural damage of nanosheets and improve the structural stability of the composite material during the lithium process. Partial oxidation of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets is caused by high temperatures during ball milling, which is beneficial to improve the intercalation of lithium ions in the material, reduce the stress and electrostatic repulsion between adjacent layers, and cause the composite to have better lithium storage performance. Under the high current density of 2.5 A g-1, the reversible capacity of the Ti3C2Tx/GO composite material after 2000 cycles was 116.5 mA h g-1, and the capacity retention was as high as 116.6%.

Abstract
MXenes are a large family of two dimensional (2D) materials with high conductivity, redox activity and compositional diversity that have become front-runners in the materials world for a diverse range of energy storage applications. High-performing supercapacitors require electrode materials with high charge storage capabilities, excellent electrical conductivity for fast electron transfer, and the ability of fast charging/discharging with good cyclability. While MXenes show many of these properties, their energy storage capability is limited by a narrow electrochemically stable potential window due to irreversible oxidation under anodic potentials. Although transition metal oxides (TMOs) are often high-capacity materials with high redox activity, their cyclability and poor rate performance are persistent challenges because of their dissolution in aqueous electrolytes and mediocre conductivity. Forming heterostructures of MXenes with TMOs and using hybrid electrodes is a feasible approach to simultaneously increase the charge storage capacity of MXenes and improve the cyclability and rate performance of oxides. MXenes could also act as conductive substrates for the growth of oxides, which could perform as spacers to stop the aggregation of MXene sheets during charging/discharging and help in improving the supercapacitor performance. Moreover, TMOs could increase the interfacial contact between MXene sheets and help in providing short-diffusion ion channels. Hence, MXene/TMO heterostructures are promising for energy storage. This review summarizes the most recent developments in MXene/oxide heterostructures for supercapacitors and highlights the roles of individual components.

Abstract
Herein, we report a Pt-decorated Ti3C2Tx/TiO2gas sensor for the enhanced NH3sensing response at room temperature. Firstly, the TiO2nanosheets (NSs) arein situgrown onto the two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Txby hydrothermal treatment. Similar to Ti3C2Txsensor, the Ti3C2Tx/TiO2sensor has a positive resistance variation upon exposure to NH3, but with slight enhancement in response. However, after the loading of Pt nanoparticles (NPs), the Pt-Ti3C2Tx/TiO2sensor shows a negative response with significantly improved NH3sensing performance. The shift in response direction indicates that the dominant sensing mechanism has changed under the sensitization effect of Pt NPs. At room temperature, the response of Pt-Ti3C2Tx/TiO2gas sensor to 100 ppm NH3is about 45.5%, which is 13.8- and 10.8- times higher than those of Ti3C2Txand Ti3C2Tx/TiO2gas sensors, respectively. The experimental detection limit of the Pt-Ti3C2Tx/TiO2gas sensor to detect NH3is 10 ppm, and the corresponding response is 10.0%. In addition, the Pt-Ti3C2Tx/TiO2gas sensor shows the fast response/recovery speed (23/34 s to 100 ppm NH3), high selectivity and good stability. Considering both the response value and the response direction, the corresponding gas-sensing mechanism is also deeply discussed. This work is expected to shed a new light on the development of noble metals decorated MXene-metal oxide gas sensors.

A new, sizable family of 2D transition metal carbonitrides, carbides, and nitrides known as MXenes has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. This is because MXenes exhibit a variety of intriguing physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical characteristics that are closely linked to the wide variety of their surface terminations and elemental compositions. Particularly, MXenes are readily converted into composites with materials including oxides, polymers, and CNTs, which makes it possible to modify their characteristics for a variety of uses. MXenes and MXene-based composites have demonstrated tremendous promise in environmental applications due to their excellent reducibility, conductivity, and biocompatibility, in addition to their well-known rise to prominence as electrode materials in the energy storage sector. The remarkable characteristics of 2D MXene, including high conductivity, high specific surface area, and enhanced hydrophilicity, account for the increasing prominence of its use in storage devices. In this review, we highlight the most recent developments in the use of MXenes and MXene-based composites for electrochemical energy storage while summarizing their synthesis and characteristics. Key attention is paid to applications in supercapacitors, batteries, and their flexible components. Future research challenges and perspectives are also described.

Abstract
MXene is becoming a "rising star" material due to its versatility for a wide portfolio of applications, including electrochemical energy storage devices, electrocatalysis, sensors, biomedical applications, membranes, flexible and wearable devices, etc. As these applications promote increased interest in MXene research, summarizing the latest findings on this family of materials will help inform the scientific community. In this review, we first discuss the rapid evolutionary change in MXenes from the first reported M2XTx structure to the last reported M5X4Tx structure. The use of systematically modified synthesis routes, such as foreign atom intercalation, tuning precursor chemistry, etc., will be further discussed in the next section. Then, we review the applications of MXenes and their composites/hybrids for rapidly growing applications such as batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalysts, sensors, biomedical, electromagnetic interference shielding, membranes, and flexible and wearable devices. More importantly, we notice that its excellent metallic conductivity with its hydrophilic nature distinguishes MXene from other materials, and its properties and applications can be further modified by surface functionalization. MXene composites/hybrids outperform pristine MXenes in many applications. In addition, a summary of the latest findings using MXene-based materials to overcome application-specific drawbacks is provided in the last few sections. We hope that the information provided in this review will help integrate lab-scale findings into commercially viable products.

Abstract
Abnormal protein phosphorylation may relate to diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's. Therefore, the real-time detection of phosphoproteins in sweat was of great significance for the early knowledge, detection, and treatment of neurological diseases. In this work, anatase/rutile TiO2 was in situ grown on the MXene surface to constructing the intercalation structure MXene@anatase/rutile TiO2 ternary heterostructure as a sensing platform for detecting phosphoprotein in sweat. Here, the intercalation structure of MXene acted as electron and diffusion channels for phosphoproteins. The in situ grown anatase/rutile TiO2 with n-n-type heterostructure provided specific adsorption sites for the phosphoproteins. The determination of phosphoprotein covered concentrations in sweat, with linear range from 0.01 to 1 mg/mL, along with a low LOD of 1.52 μM. It is worth noting that, since the macromolecular phosphoprotein was adsorbed on the surface of the material, the electrochemical signal gradually decreased with the increase of phosphoprotein concentration. In addition, the active sites in the MXene@anatase/rutile TiO2 ternary heterojunction and synergistic effect of the heterojunction were verified by first-principle calculations to further realize the response to phosphoproteins. Additionally, the effective diffusion capacity and mobility of phosphoprotein molecules in the ternary heterojunction structure were studied by molecular dynamics simulation. Furthermore, the constructed sensing platform showed high selectivity, repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, and this newly developed sensor can detect for phosphoprotein in actual sweat samples. This satisfactory sensing strategy could be promoted to realize the noninvasive and continuous detection of sweat.

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
An electrochemical aptasensing strategy was developed with a novel bioplatform based on a multivariate titanium metal-organic framework, i.e. MTV polyMOF(Ti), to detect zearalenone (ZEN). MTV polyMOF(Ti) was prepared by using mixed linkers of polyether polymer (pbdc-xa or L8, pbdc = poly(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2bdc or L0) as well as tetrabutyl titanate as nodes (MTV polyMOF(Ti)-L8,0). Compared with Ti-MOFs synthesized by using the single ligand of L8 or L0, MTV polyMOF(Ti)-L8,0 shows more porous structure assembled with multilayered nanosheets. In light of the improved electrochemical activity and strong bioaffinity to the aptamer, the aptasensor based on MTV polyMOF(Ti)-L8,0 shows excellent performance for detecting ZEN with the ultralow detection limit at fg mL-1 level in the linear range of 10 fg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1, along with good selectivity, reproducibility, stability, regenerability, and applicability.

Abstract
Herein, a facile one-step method is developed to in situ prepare crystalline anatase and rutile TiO2 nanocrystals on Ti3C2Tx by regulating the metastable Ti ions. The combination of TiO2 nanocrystals and Ti3C2Tx not only introduces extensive accessible sites for Na+ storage, but also promotes the charge transport by efficiently relieving the collapse of Ti3C2Tx. Compared with pristine Ti3C2Tx, the optimized TiO2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid electrode (anatase/rutile-TiO2/Ti3C2Tx, A/R-TiO2/Ti3C2Tx) exhibits a desirable specific surface area (22.5 m2 g−1), an ultralow charge transfer resistance (42.46 Ω) and excellent ion diffusion (4.01 × 10−14). Remarkably, rich oxygen vacancies are produced on TiO2/Ti3C2Tx which is beneficial to enhance the insertion/de-insertion of Na+ during the charge/discharge process. As a result, the A/R-TiO2/Ti3C2Tx delivers a high average capacity of 205.4 mA h g−1 at 100 mA g−1 and a desirable capacitance retention rate of 84.7% can be achieved after 600 cycles at 500 mA g−1. A facile one-step method is developed to in situ prepare crystalline anatase and rutile TiO2 nanocrystalline on Ti3C2Tx by regulating the metastable Ti ions.![]()

Abstract
The Ti3C2 and g-C3N4NS were obtained first, and the CdS/Ti3C2/g-C3N4NS Z-scheme composites were prepared via a facile hydrothermal synthesis, and their photocatalytic properties were investigated. The g-C3N4NS with a high surface area displayed higher adsorption and degradation capacity. Compared with Ti3C2/g-C3N4NS and CdS, the visible light photocatalytic activity of CdS/Ti3C2/g-C3N4NS composites was improved. The as-synthesized CTN-4:1 composite exhibited outstanding photocatalytic performance for degradation of orange II, approximately 3.2 and 10.7 times higher than that of Ti3C2/g-C3N4NS and CdS, respectively. The fabrication of CdS/Ti3C2/g-C3N4NS Z-scheme heterostructure using Ti3C2 as electron transfer medium improved the separation ability of the photoinduced e--h+ pairs, thereby leading to the improvement of visible light-driven photocatalytic activity. This finding provides new insights into the construction of high efficiency Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalyst.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has emerged as a noninvasive therapeutic modality that involves sonosensitizers and low-intensity ultrasound. However, owing to the rapid recombination of charge carriers, most of the sonosensitizers triggered poor reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, resulting in unsatisfactory sonodynamic therapeutic effects. RESULTS Herein, a photo/sono-responsive nanoplatform was developed through the in-situ systhesis of TiO2-x on the surface of two-dimensional MXene (titanium carbide, Ti3C2) for photoacoustic/photothermal bimodal imaging-guided near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal enhanced SDT of tumor. Because of several oxygen vacancies and smaller size (~ 10 nm), the in-situ formed TiO2-x nanoparticles possessed narrow band gap (2.65 eV) and high surface area, and thus served as a charge trap to restrict charge recombination under ultrasound (US) activation, resulting in enhanced sonodynamic ROS generation. Moreover, Ti3C2 nanosheets induced extensive localized hyperthermia relieves tumor hypoxia by accelerating intratumoral blood flow and tumor oxygenation, and thus further strengthened the efficacy of SDT. Upon US/NIR-II laser dual-stimuli, Ti3C2@TiO2-x nanoplatform triggered substantial cellular killing in vitro and complete tumor eradication in vivo, without any tumor recurrence and systemic toxicity. CONCLUSION Our work presents the promising design of photo/sono-responsive nanoplatform for cancer nanotheranostics.

Abstract
Building activity is a significant source of atmospheric contamination by ultrafine dust. Cognizant of this fact, those active in the use and recycling of construction materials must be aware of the risks associated with exposure to nanoparticles (NPs) and ultra-fine particles (UFPs), as well as the associated health impacts. This work analyzed NPs and UFPs generated in a small building-material recycling company using high-resolution electron microscopes and X-ray Diffraction. A self-made passive sampler (LSPS) that can obtain particulate samples without physical and morphological changes, especially where there is a suspension of particulate material, was used in this study. A total of 96 particulate samples, using the LSPS for three months in four seasons, were collected during the study. Thus, the dry deposition of the particles, which are considered highly harmful to human health, was found in each of the four seasons of the year. It is suggested that for future research, the toxicological evaluations of the particulates in the construction industry should be investigated through the consideration of measures to control and mitigate the health risks of workers regarding exposure to NPs and UFPs.

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.

Iqbal A, Hamdan NM. Investigation and Optimization of Mxene Functionalized Mesoporous Titania Films as Efficient Photoelectrodes. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:6292. [PMID: 34771820 PMCID: PMC8585131 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Revised: 10/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Three-dimensional mesoporous TiO2 scaffolds of anatase phase possess inherent eximious optical behavior that is beneficial for photoelectrodes used for solar energy conversion applications. In this regard; substantial efforts have been devoted to maximizing the UV and/or visible light absorption efficiency; and suppressing the annihilation of photogenerated charged species; in pristine mesoporous TiO2 structures for improved solar illumination conversion efficiency. This study provides fundamental insights into the use of Mxene functionalized mesoporous TiO2 as a photoelectrode. This novel combination of Mxene functionalized TiO2 electrodes with and without TiCl4 treatment was successfully optimized to intensify the process of photon absorption; charge segregation and photocurrent; resulting in superior photoelectrode performance. The photocurrent measurements of the prepared photoelectrodes were significantly enhanced with increased contents of Mxene due to improved absorption efficiency within the visible region; as verified by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The anatase phase of TiO2 was significantly augmented due to increased contents of Mxene and postdeposition heat treatments; as evidenced by structural analysis. Consequently; an appreciable coverage of well-developed grains on the FTO surface was observed in SEM images. As such; these newly fabricated conductive mesoporous TiO2 photoelectrodes are potential candidates for photoinduced energy conversion and storage applications.

Abstract
The gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensors with high-selectivity and low-power consumption have been expected for practical applications in environmental monitoring and disease diagnosis. Herein, we demonstrate a room-temperature VOCs gas sensor with enhanced performance based on Ti3C2Tx-TiO2 nanocomposites. The Ti3C2Tx-TiO2 nanocomposites with regular morphology are successfully synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal synthesis strategy by using Ti3C2Tx itself as titanium source. Attributed to the formation of interfacial heterojunctions and the modulation of carrier density, the Ti3C2Tx-TiO2 sensor exhibits about 1.5-12.6 times enhanced responses for the detection of various VOCs at room temperature than pure MXene sensor. Moreover, the nanocomposite sensor has better response to hexanal, both an air pollutant and a typical lung cancer biomarker. The gas response of the Ti3C2Tx-TiO2 sensor towards 10 ppm hexanal is about 3.4%. The hexanal gas sensing results display that the nanocomposite sensor maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio and the lower detection limit to hexanal gas is as low as 217 ppb. Due to the low power consumption and easy fabrication process, the Ti3C2Tx-TiO2 nanocomposite sensor is promising for application in IoT environmental monitoring as well as real-time health monitoring.

Abstract
Recently, a new class of two-dimensional (2D) materials, called MXene, consisting of layers of transition-metal carbides and nitrides/carbonitrides has been introduced. MXene, a multifunctional material with hydrophilic nature and excellent electrical conductivity and chemical stabilities, can be applied in diverse research areas such as energy harvesting and its storage, water purification, thermal dissipation, and gas sensing. To achieve the best quality of MXene, optimization of some important synthetic parameters is highly required such as an optimized etchant concentration to remove an "A" element from the MAX phase and sonication time for the efficient exfoliation of MXene flakes. Besides, there is a need to disclose that particular solvent through which intercalation can easily be achieved. In this work, we optimized the abovementioned critical parameters for the synthesis of good-quality MXene. Our results clearly explain the variations in the quality of MXene under applied etchant concentrations, solvents for better intercalation, and optimization of sonication time for better exfoliation. The obtained results suggest that 30% HF as an etchant, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a solvent, and 135 min as the sonication time are effective parameters for the synthesis of good-quality MXene. We expect that this report will be helpful for the young research community to synthesize good-quality MXene with the required properties.

Abstract
To realize high-rate and long-term performance of rechargeable batteries, the most effective approach is to develop an advanced hybrid material with a stable structure and more reaction active sites. Recently, 2D MXenes have become an up-and-coming electrode owing to their high conductivity and large redox-active surface area. In this work, we firstly prepared Ti3C2 MXenes through the selective etching of silicon from Ti3SiC2 (MAX) using HF and an oxidant for highly durable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The interlayer distance of Ti3C2 MXenes can be controlled with the oxidizability of the oxidant and etching temperature. In addition, Ti3C2@TiO2 MXene hybrids with further expanded interlayer spacing were purposefully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method. The hierarchical N-doped Ti3C2@TiO2 MXene hybrids show that the in situ synthesized nanoscale TiO2 particles are loaded homogeneously on the layered N-doped Ti3C2 surface. The interlayer distance of N-doped Ti3C2@TiO2 MXene can reach 12.77 Å when using HNO3 as the oxidant at room temperature. As an anode material, the N-doped Ti3C2@TiO2(HNO3-RT) hybrid displays a high reversible capacity of 302 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1 after 500 cycles and 154 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1 after 1500 cycles, which indicates its long cycle lifetime and excellent stability in LIBs. This highly durable LIB anode performance is ascribed to synergetic contributions from the high capacitive contribution, high electrical conductivity, high-capacity of in situ formed nanoscale TiO2 and interlayer-expanded architecture of the N-doped Ti3C2@TiO2(HNO3-RT). This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of MXenes as high capacity anodes for advanced LIBs.

Abstract
Oxygen deficient TiO2 has attracted extensive attention owning to its narrow bandgap and high electrical conductivity. In this work, novel yellow TiO2 with hierarchically porous architecture is fabricated by a facile pyrolysis method in air via a biomass template. The obtained yellow TiO2 exhibits interesting lithiation induced activation during cycling, which gives rise to a phase change from poorly crystallized TiO2 to an amorphous phase, accompanied by a colour change from yellow to black. In contrast to the intercalation mechanism reported in most of the literature on the TiO2 anode of LIBs, notably, the reversible redox reaction between Ti3+ and metal Ti can be verified in this case, demonstrating the novel conversion reaction mechanism of the TiO2 electrode. Based on this, the yellow porous TiO2 delivers enhanced electrochemical performance as an anode for LIBs with a superior capacity of 480 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 and a high capacity of 206 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 after 8000 cycles.

Abstract
This paper deals with mobile multi-target detection and tracking. In the traditional method, there are uncertainties such as misdetection and false alarm in the measurement data, and it will be inevitable having to deal with the data association. To solve the target trajectory and state estimation problem under a cluttered environment, this paper proposes a non-concurrent multi-target acoustic localization tracking method based on the Gibbs-generalized labelled multi-Bernoulli (Gibbs-GLMB) filter and considers an acoustic array of a fixed arrangement for the tracking of targets by joint time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements. Firstly, the TDOAs are calculated by using the generalized cross-correlation algorithm (GCC) and the AOAs are derived from the received signal directions. Secondly, we assume the independence of the targets and fuse the measurements which are used to track the multiple targets via the Gibbs-GLMB filter. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by Monte Carlo simulation experiments.

Abstract
Recently, Ti-based MXenes were expected to compete with graphene and other carbonaceous materials towards Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their two-dimensional (2D) open structure, cost efficiency, superior conductivity and low Li+ diffusion barrier. However, the relatively moderate capacity and aggregation tendency hamper their practical applications in next-generation LIBs. Herein, we explore for the first time a scalable bottom-up approach to fabricate a series of Co3O4@single-layer Ti3C2Tx (s-Ti3C2Tx) hybrids, where numerous homogeneous Co3O4 nanocrystallites (NCs), serving both as a spacer and electroactive phase, are anchored uniformly on the surface of s-Ti3C2Tx nanosheets (NSs) through the Co-O-Ti interfacial bonds. Furthermore, detailed experimental analyses clearly shed light upon the formation mechanism of the hybrid Co3O4@s-Ti3C2Tx NSs. Thanks to the structural and compositional merits, the 2D Co3O4@s-Ti3C2Tx NSs even exhibit a remarkable high-rate capacity of ∼223 mA h g-1 at an ultra-high current density of 10 A g-1, and a long-span cycle life with a high reversible capacity of 550 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 700 consecutive cycles. Corresponding density functional theory calculation further confirms that the Co-O-Ti interfacial function leads to an even higher pseudocapacitive contribution and faster lithium storage behavior due to the enhanced interfacial electron transfer.

Abstract
In recent years, the rapidly growing attention on MXenes makes the material a rising star in the 2D materials family. Although most researchers' interests are still focused on the properties of bare MXenes, little attention has been paid to the surface chemistry of MXenes and MXene-based nanocomposites. To this end, this Review offers a comprehensive discussion on surface modified MXene-based nanocomposites for energy conversion and storage (ECS) applications. Based on the structure and reaction mechanism, the related synthesis methods toward MXenes are briefly summarized. After the discussion of existing surface modification techniques, the surface modified MXene-based nanocomposites and their inherent chemical principles are presented. Finally, the application of these surface modified nanocomposites for supercapacitors (SCs), lithium/sodium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs), and electrocatalytic water splitting is discussed. The challenges and prospects of MXene-based nanocomposites for future ECS applications are also presented.
