[PMID: 38991437 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
Precisely detecting organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) is paramount in upholding human safety and environmental preservation, especially in food safety. Herein, an electrochemical acetylcholinesterase (AChE) sensing platform entrapped in chitosan (Chit) on the glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) decorated with Pt/MoS2/Ti3C2 MXene (Pt/MoS2/TM) was constructed for the detection of chlorpyrifos. It is worth noting that Pt/MoS2/TM possesses good biocompatibility, remarkable electrical conductivity, environmental stability and large specific surface area. Besides, the heterostructure formed by the composite of TM and MoS2 improves the conductivity and maintains the original structure, which is conducive to improving the electrochemical property. The coordination effect between the individual components enables the even distribution of functional components and enhances the electrochemical performance of the biosensor (AChE-Chit/Pt/MoS2/TM). Under optimal efficiency and sensitivity, the AChE-Chit/Pt/MoS2/TM/GCE sensing platform exerts comparable analytical performance and a wide concentration range of chlorpyrifos from 10-12 to 10-6 M as well as a low limit of detection (4.71 × 10-13 M). Furthermore, the biosensor is utilized to detect OPs concerning three kinds of fruits and vegetables with good feasibility and recoveries (94.81% to 104.0%). This work would provide a new scheme to develop high-sensitivity sensors based on the two-dimensional nanosheet/laminar hybrid structure for practical applications in environmental monitoring and agricultural product detection.

Abstract
Subnanometer pores/channels (SNPCs) play crucial roles in regulating electrochemical redox reactions for rechargeable batteries. The delicately designed and tailored porous structure of SNPCs not only provides ample space for ion storage but also facilitates efficient ion diffusion within the electrodes in batteries, which can greatly improve the electrochemical performance. However, due to current technological limitations, it is challenging to synthesize and control the quality, storage, and transport of nanopores at the subnanometer scale, as well as to understand the relationship between SNPCs and performances. In this review, we systematically classify and summarize materials with SNPCs from a structural perspective, dividing them into one-dimensional (1D) SNPCs, two-dimensional (2D) SNPCs, and three-dimensional (3D) SNPCs. We also unveil the unique physicochemical properties of SNPCs and analyse electrochemical couplings in SNPCs for rechargeable batteries, including cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, and functional materials. Finally, we discuss the challenges that SNPCs may face in electrochemical reactions in batteries and propose future research directions.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for sustainable energy and concerns about the scarcity of lithium resources, sodium and potassium ion batteries have emerged as promising alternative energy storage technologies. MXene, as a novel two-dimensional material, possesses exceptional electrical conductivity, high surface area, and tunable structural features that make it an ideal candidate for high-performance electrode materials. However, its limited theoretical capacity hinders its widespread application. To overcome this limitation, MXene has been combined with other materials through synergistic effects between different components to enhance the overall electrochemical performance and expand its application in sodium/potassium ion batteries. 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.

CONDENSED MATTER : AN INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS JOURNAL 2023; 36:065001.

Abstract
Black phosphorene (BP) is a glowing two-dimensional semiconducting layer material for cutting-edge microelectronics, with high carrier mobility and thickness-dependent band gap. Here, based on van der Waals (vdW)-corrected first-principles approaches, we investigated stacked BP/tin selenide (BP/SnSe) vdW heterostructure as an anode material for metal ion batteries, which exhibits a significant theoretical capacity, along with relatively durable binding strength compared to the constituent BP and SnSe monolayers. Our calculations demonstrated that the Li/Na adatom favors insertion into the interlayer region of BP/SnSe vdW heterostructure owing to synergistic interfacial effect, resulting in comparable diffusivity to the BP and SnSe monolayers. Subsequently, the theoretical specific capacities for Li/Na are found to be as high as 956.30 mAhg-1and 828.79 mAhg-1, respectively, which could be attributed to the much higher storage capacity of Li/Na adatoms in the BP/SnSe vdW heterostructure. Moreover, the electronic structure calculations reveal that a large amount of charge transfer assists in semiconductor-to-metallic transition upon lithiation/sodiation, ensuring good electrical conductivity. These simulations verify that the BP/SnSe vdW heterostructure has immense potential for application in the design of metal-ion battery technologies.

Abstract
Recently, the development of new materials and devices has become the main research focus in the field of energy. Supercapacitors (SCs) have attracted significant attention due to their high power density, fast charge/discharge rate, and excellent cycling stability. With a lamellar structure, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) emerge as electrode materials for SCs. Although many 2D TMDs with excellent energy storage capability have been reported, further optimization of electrode materials and devices is still needed for competitive electrochemical performance. Previous reviews have focused on the performance of 2D TMDs as electrode materials in SCs, especially on their modification. Herein, the effects of element doping, morphology, structure and phase, composite, hybrid configuration, and electrolyte are emphatically discussed on the overall performance of 2D TMDs-based SCs from the perspective of device optimization. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of 2D TMDs-based SCs in the field are highlighted, and personal perspectives on methods and ideas for high-performance energy storage devices are provided.

Abstract
MXenes are seen as an exceptional candidate to reshape the future of energy with their viable surface chemistry, ultrathin 2D structure, and excellent electronic conductivity. The extensive research efforts bring about rapid expansion of the MXene families with enriched functionalities, which significantly boost performance of the existing energy-storage devices. In this review, the strategies that are developed to functionalize the MXene-based materials, including tailoring their microstructure by ions/molecules/polymers-initiated interaction or self-assembly, surface/interface engineering with dopants or functional groups, constructing heterostructures from MXenes with various materials, and transforming them into a series of derivatives inheriting the merits of the MXene precursors are highlighted. Their applications in emerging battery technologies are demonstrated and discussed. With delicate functionalization and structural engineering, MXene-based electrode materials exhibit improved specific capacity and rate capability, and their presence further suppresses and even eliminates dendrite formation on the metal anodes, which lengthens the lifespan of the rechargeable batteries. Meanwhile, MXenes serve as additives for electrolytes, separators, and current collectors. Finally, some future directions worth of exploration to address the remaining challenging issues of MXene-based materials and achieve the next-generation high-power and low-cost rechargeable batteries are proposed.

Abstract
With an increasing demand for large-scale energy storage systems, there is a need for novel electrode materials to store energy in batteries efficiently. 2D materials are promising as electrode materials for battery applications. Despite their excellent properties, none of the available single-phase 2D materials offers a combination of properties required for maximizing energy density, power density, and cycle life. This article discusses how stacking distinct 2D materials into a 2D heterostructure may open up new possibilities for battery electrodes, combining favourable characteristics and overcoming the drawbacks of constituent 2D layers. Computational studies are crucial to advancing this field rapidly with first-principles simulations of various 2D heterostructures forming the basis for such investigations that offer insights into processes that are hard to determine otherwise. We present a perspective on the current methodology, along with a review of the known 2D heterostructures as anodes and their potential for Li and Na-ion battery applications. 2D heterostructures showcase excellent tunability with different compositions. However, each of them has distinct properties, with its own set of challenges and opportunities for application in batteries. We highlight the current status and prospects to stimulate research into designing new 2D heterostructures for battery applications.

Abstract
Rationally electronic structure engineering of nanocomposite electrodes shows great promise for enhancing the electrochemical performance of rechargeable batteries. Herein, we report antimony single atoms and quantum dots (∼5 nm) codecorated Ti3C2Tx MXene-based aerogels (Sb SQ@MA) for high-performance potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). We found that the atomically dispersed Sb could modify the electronic structure of the Sb/Ti3C2Tx composite, improve the charge transfer kinetics, and enhance the potassium storage capability at the heterointerfaces. Additionally, the MXene-based aerogel with rich surface functional groups and defects provides abundant anchoring sites and endows the composite reinforced structural stability and highly efficient electron transfer. The high loading of Sb (∼60.3 wt %) with short ionic transport pathways is desired potassium reservoirs. These features synergistically enhance the rate and cycling performance of the Sb SQ@MA electrodes in PIBs. This work has demonstrated an enlightening technique to tailor the interface activity of heterostructured electrodes for electrochemical applications.

Abstract
MXenes have gained rapidly increasing attention owing to their two-dimensional (2D) layered structures and unique mechanical and physicochemical properties. However, MXenes have some intrinsic limitations (e.g., the restacking tendency of the 2D structure) that hinder their practical applications. Transition metal chalcogenide (TMC) materials such as SnS, NiS, MoS2, FeS2, and NiSe2 have attracted much interest for energy storage and conversion by virture of their earth-abundance, low costs, moderate overpotentials, and unique layered structures. Nonetheless, the intrinsic poor electronic conductivity and huge volume change of TMC materials during the alkali metal-ion intercalation/deintercalation process cause fast capacity fading and poor-rate and poor-cycling performances. Constructing heterostructures based on metallic conductive MXenes and highly electrochemically active TMCs is a promising and effective strategy to solve these problems and enhance the electrochemical performances. This review highlights and discusses the recent research development of MXenes and hierarchical MXene/TMC heterostructures, with a focus on the synthesis strategies, surface/heterointerface engineering, and potential applications for lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis. The critical challenges and perspectives of the future development of MXenes and hierarchical MXene/TMC heterostructures for electrochemical energy storage and conversion are forecasted.

Abstract
Semiconducting MoS2 layers offer the electrons, reducing conjugated Au(I) to Au atoms, and sebsequently serve as desirable substrates for supporting the interfacial growths of gold nanostructures. Au-covering MoS2 heterostructures perform morphology-varied optical characteristics, and the surface engineering of MoS2 involved by Hg2+ ions results in the differential growths of nanostructures and morphological diversities. Naked-eye colorimetric responses to mercury ions, with a low limit of detection of 1.27 nM, are achieved based on the in situ grown heterostructures.

Two-dimensional materials (2D materials) show great advantages in high-performance lithium ion battery materials due to the inherent ion channels and rich ion sites. Unfortunately, rare 2D materials own all desired attributes to meet complex scenarios. Further enriching the 2D materials database for lithium ion battery use is of high interest. In this work, we extend the list of candidates for lithium ion batteries based on a 2D material identification theory. More importantly, a usability identification framework leveraging the competitive mechanism between the adsorbability and reversibility of ions on a 2D material is proposed to assist the deeper screening of practicable 2D materials. As a result, 215 2D materials including 158 anodes, 21 cathodes, and 36 solid electrolytes are predicted to be practicable for lithium ion battery use. The comparison between the identified 2D materials with the known ones verifies the reliability of our strategy. This work significantly enriches the choices of 2D materials to satisfy the various battery demands and provides a general methodology to assess the usability of unexploited 2D materials for lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries are highly desirable for a sustainable large-scale energy-storage system due to their high energy density and low cost. Nevertheless, practical applications of RT Na-S batteries are still prevented by the shuttle effect of sodium polysulfides (NaPS), slow reaction kinetics of S, and incomplete conversion process of NaPS. Here, Mo2 N-W2 N heterostructures embedded in a spherical carbon superstructure (Mo2 N-W2 N@PC) are designed to efficiently suppress the "polysulfide shuttle" and promote NaPS redox reactions. The designed Mo2 N-W2 N@PC heterostructure with abundant heterointerfaces, high conductivity, and porosity can facilitate electron/ion diffusion and provide high catalytic activity for efficient NaPS conversion. The obtained Na-S battery delivers high reversible capacity with superior long-term cyclability (517 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 400 cycles) and unprecedented rate capability (417 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 ). Furthermore, the electrocatalysis mechanism is revealed by combining in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis spectra, and precipitation experiments. This work demonstrates a novel heterostructure design strategy that enables high-performance Na-S batteries.

Abstract
The practical application of germanium phosphide (GeP) in battery systems is seriously impeded referring to the sluggish reaction kinetics and severe volume change. Nanostructure design that elaborately resolves the above issues is highly desired but still remains a big challenge. Herein, unique hollow nanoreactors assembled with nitrogen-doped carbon networks for in situ synthesis of the GeP electrodes are proposed for the first time. Such nanoreactors form a self-supported conductive network, ensuring sufficient electrolyte infiltration and fast electron transport. They restrain crystal growth and accommodate the volume expansion of GeP simultaneously. Reaction kinetics and confinement effect are optimized through nanoreactor size regulation. The optimized GeP electrode has high reversible capacities and outstanding cyclability and rate performance for sodium storage, outperforming most previously reported phosphides.

Abstract
Na-O2 batteries are promising candidates to replace Li-O2 batteries for their excellent performance. However, the charge overpotential of Na-O2 batteries is usually too high. In this work, we designed combinations of MXene and a two-dimensional organic framework for Na-O2 batteries. The results show that the Ti2CO2/Cu-BHT has low OER and ORR overpotentials of 0.24 and 0.32 V, respectively. Besides this, the conductivity and the adsorption energy to Na+ (Eads(Na+)) are promoted due to the charge transfer between layers. We also found that the OER and ORR overpotentials are negatively and positively correlated with Eads(Na+), respectively, where Ti2CO2/Cu-BHT has a moderate Eads(Na+) (-2.20 eV) and, therefore, has good performance. Moreover, a new mechanism called the Na encapsulation mechanism was proposed on a two-dimensional organic framework surface. Through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, we found a new descriptor that consists of inherent properties that could help us screen better heterostructures for Na-O2 batteries.

Abstract
As typical 2D materials, VSe2 and MoSe2 both play a complementary role in Li/Na/K storage. Therefore, we designed and optimized the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure to gain highly efficient Li/Na/K-ion batteries. Most importantly, achieving fast Li/Na/K-ion diffusion kinetics in the interlayer of VSe2/MoSe2 is a key point. First of all, first-principles calculations were carried out to systematically investigate the packing structure, mechanical properties, band structure, and Li/Na/K storage mechanism. Our calculated results suggest that a large interlayer spacing (3.80 Å), robust structure, and metallic character pave the way for achieving excellent charge-discharge performance for the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure. Moreover, V and Mo ions both suffer a very mild redox reaction even if Li/Na/K ions fill the interlayer space. These structures were all further verified to show thermal stability (300 K) by means of the AIMD method. By analyzing the Li/Na/K diffusion behavior and the effect of vacancy defect on the structural stability and energy barrier for Li interlayer diffusion, it is found that the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure exhibits very low-energy barriers for Na/K interlayer diffusion (0.21 eV for Na and 0.11 eV for K). Compared with the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure, the V0.92Se1.84/MoSe2 heterostructure not only can still maintain a stable structure and metallic character but also has much lower energy barrier for Li interlayer diffusion (0.07 vs 0.48 eV). These discoveries also break new ground to eliminate the obstacles preventing Li+ diffusion in the interlayer of other heterostructure materials. Besides, both VSe2/MoSe2 and V0.92Se1.84/MoSe2 heterostructures have low average open-circuit voltage (OCV) values during Li/Na/K interlayer diffusion (1.07 V for V0.92Se1.84/MoSe2 vs Li+, 0.86 V for VSe2/MoSe2 vs Na+, and 0.54 V for VSe2/MoSe2 vs K+), such low OCV values are beneficial for anode materials with excellent electrochemical properties. The above findings offer a new route to design anode materials for Li/Na/K-ion batteries.

Abstract
The increasing demand for high-performance rechargeable energy storage systems has stimulated the exploration of advanced electrode materials. MXenes are a class of two-dimensional (2D) inorganic transition metal carbides/nitrides, which are promising candidates in electrodes. The layered structure facilitates ion insertion/extraction, which offers promising electrochemical characteristics for electrochemical energy storage. However, the low capacity accompanied by sluggish electrochemical kinetics of electrodes as well as interlayer restacking and collapse significantly impede their practical applications. Recently, interlayer space engineering of MXenes by different chemical strategies have been widely investigated in designing functional materials for various applications. In this review, an overview of the most recent progress of 2D MXenes engineering by intercalation, surface modification as well as heterostructures design is provided. Moreover, some critical challenges in future research on MXene-based electrodes have been also proposed.

Abstract
Trifunctional electrocatalysts with high activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and Na-O2 battery are eagerly desirable for electrochemical energy applications. Currently, it remains challenging to achieve such trifunctionality on a single catalyst, although many systems can exhibit either one or two activities. Herein, on the basis of first-principles calculations, Ni-doped Janus monolayer MoSSe with superior electrocatalytic activity toward ORR for fuel cells and OER for water splitting is proposed. Both its ORR and OER display an ultralow overpotential, and the ORR possesses a high selectivity with the Faradaic efficiency approximating 100%. Importantly, it further shows high performance of Na-O2 batteries with a low overpotential of 0.49/0.59 V for ORR/OER, suggesting it being the excellent trifunctional catalyst. Such catalytic behaviors are largely due to the synergistic effect of the built-in electric field and heteroatom doping. These findings not only gain deeper insight into the catalytic activity of Janus monolayer MoSSe but also guide developing effective trifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The increasing demand for next generation rechargeable metal-ion batteries (MIBs) has boosted the exploration of high-performance electrode materials. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes), the largest family of 2D materials, show extremely competitive potential applications in electrodes due to their excellent electrical conductivity, chemical diversity, and large specific surface area. However, the problems of uncontrollable surface functionalization, interlayer restack and collapse significantly hinder their practical applications. To this end, effective strategies to modify traditional MXenes for targeted electrochemical performance are highly desirable. In this mini review, we briefly summarize the most recent and constructive development in the modulation engineering of 2D MXene-based transition-metal compounds. Firstly, to modify traditional MXenes by intercalating, surface decorating and constructing heterostructures. Secondly, to design novel transition-metal compounds beyond MXenes by precisely controlling the atomic structures, proportions and compositions of constituent elements. Moreover, the critical challenges and perspectives for future research on MXene-based materials are also presented.
