Abstract
In the current study, polyaniline (PANI) modified two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene composites (PANI-Ti3C2Tx) are exploited as photocathodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The study revealed that incorporating PANI into Ti3C2Tx improved the material's electrochemical properties, owing to the presence of amino groups in PANI that enhanced the material's electrical conductivity and thereby facilitated more rapid ion transport. In addition, PANI enhanced the surface wettability of Ti3C2Tx, resulting in an increase in the number of electroactive sites. The presence of PANI molecules in the interlayer and on the surface of Ti3C2Tx was confirmed through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Subsequently, electrochemical analysis of the PANI-Ti3C2Tx photocathode or counter electrode (CE) revealed a commendable electrocatalytic activity with the iodide/triiodide electrolyte, a favourable charge transfer kinetics, and a charge transfer resistance as low as platinum. Additionally, at AM 1.5G, the performance of the DSSC constructed using the thermally decomposed Pt-CE was 8.3% when subjected to simulated 1 sun light, whereas the efficiency of the DSSC constructed using the as-prepared composite material was 6.9% under corresponding conditions. PANI-Ti3C2Tx as the photocathode (CE) in a DSSC showed a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) improvement than PANI CE and Ti3C2Tx CE DSSCs, emphasizing its potent catalytic activity and quick mass transport of electron capability. By capitalizing on the conductivity and electrocatalytic property of the two components, the as-fabricated PANI-Ti3C2Tx photocathode significantly increased the overall PCE of DSSCs. Furthermore, the DSSC utilizing the PANI-Ti3C2Tx CE demonstrated exceptional reproducibility and stability. This underscores its consistently high performance and significant resistance to corrosion in the iodide/triiodide redox electrolyte environment. Overall, these findings show that the PANI-Ti3C2Tx composite has the potential to be a competitive alternative to platinum-based CE materials for the development of DSSCs with exceptional performance.

Abstract
Renewable energy driven N2 electroreduction with air as nitrogen source holds great promise for realizing scalable green ammonia production. However, relevant out-lab research is still in its infancy. Herein, a novel Sn-based MXene/MAX hybrid with abundant Sn vacancies, Sn@Ti2CTX/Ti2SnC-V, was synthesized by controlled etching Sn@Ti2SnC MAX phase and demonstrated as an efficient electrocatalyst for electrocatalytic N2 reduction. Due to the synergistic effect of MXene/MAX heterostructure, the existence of Sn vacancies and the highly dispersed Sn active sites, the obtained Sn@Ti2CTX/Ti2SnC-V exhibits an optimal NH3 yield of 28.4 µg h-1 mgcat-1 with an excellent FE of 15.57% at - 0.4 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 0.1 M Na2SO4, as well as an ultra-long durability. Noticeably, this catalyst represents a satisfactory NH3 yield rate of 10.53 µg h-1 mg-1 in the home-made simulation device, where commercial electrochemical photovoltaic cell was employed as power source, air and ultrapure water as feed stock. The as-proposed strategy represents great potential toward ammonia production in terms of financial cost according to the systematic technical economic analysis. This work is of significance for large-scale green ammonia production.

Abstract
Graphene, the most fascinating 2D form of carbon with closely packed carbon atoms arranged in a layer, needs more attention in various fields. For its unique electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties with a large surface area, graphene has been in the limelight since its first report. Graphene has extraordinary properties, making it the most promising electrode component for applications in supercapacitors. However, the persistent re-stacking of carbon layers in graphene, caused by firm interlayer van der Waals attractions, significantly impairs the performance of supercapacitors. As a result, many strategies have been used to get around the aforementioned problems. The utilization of graphene-based nanomaterials has been implemented to surmount the aforementioned constraints and considerably enhance the performance of supercapacitors. This review highlights recent progress in graphene-based nanomaterials with metal oxide, sulfides, phosphides, nitrides, carbides, and conducting polymers, focusing on their synthetic approach, configurations, and electrochemical properties for supercapacitors. It discusses new possibilities that could increase the performance of next-generation supercapacitors.

Abstract
Exploiting high-efficiency and durable electrocatalysts toward the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is crucial for the advancement of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Herein, we demonstrate the loading of platinum-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles (Pt-Pd NPs) onto poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-embellished titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets as the electrocatalyst (Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt-Pd) via a facile and rapid chemical reduction-assisted one-pot hydrothermal process. The structural and morphological analyses of Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt-Pd indicate that the three-dimensional (3D) hybrid structure formed between PEDOT and Ti3C2Tx provides a sizable active surface and more active sites, which enhances the homogeneous dispersion of the Pt-Pd NPs and facilitates mass transfer. The Schottky junctions formed between PEDOT and Pt-Pd NPs contribute to charge transfer. The electronic effects and synergistic interactions between the support and catalyst favor the electrocatalytic activity of the catalyst. The electrochemical test results reveal that the Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt-Pd catalyst has prominent electrocatalytic capability for the MOR. Compared with Ti3C2Tx/Pt-Pd and commercial Pt/C catalysts, the Ti3C2Tx/PEDOT/Pt-Pd catalyst has a larger electrochemical activity surface area (ECSA = 122 m2 g-1) and higher mass activity (MA = 1445.4 mA mg-1), as well as better CO tolerance and more reliable long-term durability (a peak current density retention of 71% after 5200 s).

Abstract
New wood-based composite materials with thermal conductivity are greatly desired in the fields of packaging materials for electronic components. In this study, a new multifunctional composite material (M@FC) is prepared by simply blending clay-like Ti3C2Tx MXene and delignified wood fibers together, and then followed by an infusing epoxy resin with environmentally friendly vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The resulting M@FC (0.92 W m-1 K-1) possesses superior thermal conductivity as compared to natural wood (0.099 W m-1 K-1) and most polymers. Furthermore, after the VARTM process, the structure of the M@FC is tighter, and thus showing excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 93.0 MPa and flexural strength of 172.7 MPa). In addition, good water resistance and excellent flame retardant property are observed for M@FC. The improvement of thermal conductivity provides the possibility for its application for packaging materials in electronic components. This study using waste wood as the important component provides a new idea for carbon cycling and recycling of natural resources.

Abstract
With the rapid development of fifth-generation mobile communication technology and wearable electronic devices, electromagnetic interference and radiation pollution caused by electromagnetic waves have attracted worldwide attention. Therefore, the design and development of highly efficient EMI shielding materials are of great importance. In this work, the three-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) with regular honeycomb structure (GH) is firstly constructed by sacrificial template and freeze-drying methods. Then, the amino functionalized FeNi alloy particles (f-FeNi) are loaded on the GH skeleton followed by in-situ reduction to prepare rGH@FeNi aerogel. Finally, the rGH@FeNi/epoxy EMI shielding composites with regular honeycomb structure is obtained by vacuum-assisted impregnation of epoxy resin. Benefitting from the construction of regular honeycomb structure and electromagnetic synergistic effect, the rGH@FeNi/epoxy composites with a low rGH@FeNi mass fraction of 2.1 wt% (rGH and f-FeNi are 1.2 and 0.9 wt%, respectively) exhibit a high EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 46 dB, which is 5.8 times of that (8 dB) for rGO/FeNi/epoxy composites with the same rGO/FeNi mass fraction. At the same time, the rGH@FeNi/epoxy composites also possess excellent thermal stability (heat-resistance index and temperature at the maximum decomposition rate are 179.1 and 389.0 °C respectively) and mechanical properties (storage modulus is 8296.2 MPa).

Abstract
Heterostructures of 2D materials offer a fertile ground to study ion transport and charge storage. Here, we use ab initio molecular dynamics to examine the proton-transfer/diffusion and redox behavior in a water layer confined in the graphene-Ti3C2O2 heterostructure. We find that in comparison with the similar interface of water confined between Ti3C2O2 layers, the proton redox rate in the dissimilar interface of graphene-Ti3C2O2 is much higher, owing to the very different interfacial structure as well as the interfacial electric field induced by an electron transfer in the latter. Water molecules in the dissimilar interface of the graphene-Ti3C2O2 heterostructure form a denser hydrogen-bond network with a preferred orientation of water molecules, leading to an increase in proton mobility with proton concentration in the graphene-Ti3C2O2 interface. As the proton concentration further increases, proton mobility decreases due to increasingly more frequent surface redox events that slow down proton mobility due to binding with surface O atoms. Our work provides important insights into how the dissimilar interface and their associated interfacial structure and properties impact proton transfer and redox in the confined space.

Abstract
Rational construction of hybrid materials integrating the collective virtues of individual building blocks has spurred significant interest in electrode materials for energy storage. Herein, a smart hybrid was fabricated via in-situ assembling of the few-layered MoS2 (f-MoS2) coated on the multi-layered Ti3C2 MXene decorated with the TiO2 nanoparticles by the scalable hydrothermal and annealing approaches. In the unique architecture, the multi-layered Ti3C2 with the expanded interspaces as the conductive backbone can facilitate the electron transport, provide adequate space to facilitate the infiltration of organic electrolyte into the interior of electrode, and inhibit the aggregation of MoS2 nanosheets, while the f-MoS2 with enlarged interlayer can be beneficial for the lithium-ion diffusion and prevent the multi-layered Ti3C2from restacking. Moreover, the TiO2 decorated on the Ti3C2 can effectively inhibit the instability of long-chain lithium polysulfides dissolved in organic electrolyte to improve the cycling stability. Thanks to the synergistic effect of the building blocks, the Ti3C2/TiO2@f-MoS2 hybrid employed as lithium storage anode delivers an extraordinary endurable ability with a high storage capacity of 403.1 mA h g-1 after 1200 cycles at 2 A g-1. Importantly, the smart hybridization strategy in this work paves an efficient way to explore the high-performance MXene-based hybrid materials in energy storage fields.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is a vital compound in diversified fields, including agriculture, automotive, chemical, food processing, hydrogen production and storage, and biomedical applications. Its extensive industrial use and emission have emerged hazardous to the ecosystem and have raised global public health concerns for monitoring NH3 emissions and implementing proper safety strategies. These facts created emergent demand for translational and sustainable approaches to design efficient, affordable, and high-performance compact NH3 sensors. Commercially available NH3 sensors possess three major bottlenecks: poor selectivity, low concentration detection, and room-temperature operation. State-of-the-art NH3 sensors are scaling up using advanced nano-systems possessing rapid, selective, efficient, and enhanced detection to overcome these challenges. MXene-polymer nanocomposites (MXP-NCs) are emerging as advanced nanomaterials of choice for NH3 sensing owing to their affordability, excellent conductivity, mechanical flexibility, scalable production, rich surface functionalities, and tunable morphology. The MXP-NCs have demonstrated high performance to develop next-generation intelligent NH3 sensors in agricultural, industrial, and biomedical applications. However, their excellent NH3-sensing features are not articulated in the form of a review. This comprehensive review summarizes state-of-the-art MXP-NCs fabrication techniques, optimization of desired properties, enhanced sensing characteristics, and applications to detect airborne NH3. Furthermore, an overview of challenges, possible solutions, and prospects associated with MXP-NCs is discussed.

Abstract
With the rapid development of portable electronic devices, electric vehicles and large-scale grid energy storage devices, there is a need to enhance the specific energy density and specific power density of related electrochemical devices to meet the fast-growing requirements of energy storage. Battery-supercapacitor hybrid devices (BSHDs), combining the high-energy-density feature of batteries and the high-power-density properties of supercapacitors, have attracted mass attention in terms of energy storage. However, the electrochemical performances of cathode materials for BSHDs are severely limited by poor electrical conductivity and ion transport kinetics. As the rich redox reactions induced by transition metal compounds are able to offer high specific capacity, they are an ideal choice of cathode materials. Therefore, this paper reviews the currently advanced progress of transition metal compound-based cathodes with high-rate performance in BSHDs. We discuss some efficient strategies of enhancing the rate performance of transition metal compounds, including developing intrinsic electrode materials with high conductivity and fast ion transport; modifying materials, such as inserting defects and doping; building composite structures and 3D nano-array structures; interfacial engineering and catalytic effects. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for the potential development of cathodes for BSHDs, which may provide a reference for significant progress in the future.

Abstract
As a new member of the 2D material family, MXene integrates high metallic conductivity and hydrophilic property simultaneously. It shows tremendous potential in fields of energy storage, sensing, electromagnetic shielding, and so forth. Due to the abundant surface functional groups, the physical and chemical properties of MXene can be tuned by the formation of MXene-polymer composites. The introduction of polymers can expand the interlayer spacing, reduce the distance of ion/electron transport, improve the surface hydrophilicity, and thus guide the assembly of MXene-polymer structures. Herein, the preparation strategies of MXene-polymer composites including physical mixing, surface modification, such as anchoring through TiN and Ti-O-C bonds, bonding through esterification, grafting functional groups through TiOSi/TiOP bonds, photograft reaction, as well as in situ polymerization are highlighted. In addition, the possible mechanisms for each strategy are explained. Furthermore, the applications of MXene-polymer composites obtained by different preparation strategies are summarized. Finally, perspectives and challenges are presented for the designs of MXene-polymer composites.

Abstract
As the demand for wearable electronic devices increases, interest in small, light, and deformable energy storage devices follows suit. Among these devices, wire-shaped supercapacitors (WSCs) are considered key components of wearable technology due to their geometric similarity to woven fiber. One potential method for creating WSC devices is the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique, which is a "bottom-up" method for electrode fabrication. WSCs require conformal and adhesive coatings of the functional material to the wire-shaped substrate, which is difficult to obtain with other processing techniques such as vacuum filtration or spray-coating. However, the LbL assembly technique produces conformal and robust coatings that can be deposited onto a variety of substrates and shapes, including wires. In this study, we report WSCs made using the LbL assembly of alternating layers of positively charged reduced graphene oxide functionalized with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and negatively charged Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets conformally deposited on activated carbon yarns. In this construct, the added LbL film enhances capacitance, energy density, and power density by 240, 227, and 109%, respectively, relative to the uncoated activated carbon yarn, yielding high specific and volumetric capacitances (237 F g-1, 2193 F cm-3). In addition, the WSC possesses good mechanical stability, retaining 90% of its initial capacity after 200 bending cycles. This study demonstrates that LbL coatings on carbon yarns are promising as linear energy storage devices for fibrous electronics.

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
Owing to excellent metallic conductivity, hydrophilic surfaces, and surface redox properties, a two-dimensional (2D) metal carbide of Ti3C2Tx-MXene could serve as a promising pseudocapacitive electrode material for energy storage devices. Meanwhile, the 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) combining with the hierarchical cubic spinel nickel-cobalt bimetal oxide (NiCo2O4) nanospikes could control ion diffusion for charge storage, thereby facilitating the improvement of the energy density of a supercapacitor. As per the strategy, the pseudocapacitive 2D Ti3C2Tx was loaded on a flexible acid-treated carbon fiber (ACF) backbone to prepare a Ti3C2Tx/ACF negative electrode by a convenient drop-casting method. Meanwhile, 2D rGO was deposited on ACF by a simple dip-dry process, which was further decorated by the spinel NiCo2O4 nanospikes using a hydrothermal method to obtain a NiCo2O4@rGO/ACF positive electrode. The fabricated Ti3C2Tx/ACF electrode exhibited an excellent specific capacitance of 246.9 F/g (197.5 mF/cm2) at 4 mA/cm2 along with 96.7% capacity retention over 5000 charge/discharge cycles, whereas the NiCo2O4@rGO/ACF electrode showed a specific capacitance of 1487 F/g (458.3 mA h/g) at 3 mA/cm2 with a cycling stability of 88.2% over 10 000 charge/discharge cycles. As a result, a flexible all-solid-state hybrid supercapacitor (FHSC) device using the pseudocapacitive Ti3C2Tx/ACF on the negative side with a widespread voltage window and the battery-type NiCo2O4@rGO/ACF on the positive side with high electrochemical activity delivered an excellent volumetric capacitance of 2.32 F/cm3 (141.9 F/g) at a current density of 5 mA/cm2 with a high-energy density of 44.36 Wh/kg (0.72 mWh/cm3) at a power density of 985 W/kg (16.13 mW/cm3) along with a cycling stability of 90.48% over 4500 charge/discharge cycles. Therefore, the pseudocapacitive 2D Ti3C2Tx/ACF negative electrode could replace carbon-based electrodes and a combination of it with the battery-type NiCo2O4@rGO/ACF positive electrode should be a promising way to step up the energy density of a supercapacitor.

Abstract
MXenes, as excellent candidate anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs), suffer from sluggish ion-diffusion kinetics resulting from the anchoring effect of the negatively charged functional groups on their surface on sodium ions. Herein, we introduce positively charged conductive polyaniline (PANI) to induce self-assembly of Ti3C2Tx MXenes into a three-dimensional PANI/Ti3C2Tx network. In this PANI/Ti3C2Tx network, PANI not only intercalates into Ti3C2Tx nanosheets to enlarge the interlayer spacing, but also promotes negative-to-positive transition of the surface charges of the Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, significantly improving ion-diffusion kinetics. Electrochemical test results further confirm the superb ion-diffusion kinetics of the PANI/Ti3C2Tx network. Meanwhile, a covalent interaction (Ti-N) between PANI and Ti3C2Tx, proved by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) tests, plays a key role in stabilizing this network structure. Therefore, PANI/Ti3C2Tx exhibits excellent sodium storage performances with a high specific capacity, superior rate performance and ultralong lifespan at high current density. More importantly, when operated at rigorous temperatures from +50 to -30 °C, PANI/Ti3C2Tx also exhibits good electrochemical performances. The present work presents a simple strategy for designing 3D porous MXene-based materials to realize high rate performance and all-climate energy storage device.

Abstract
Assembling Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets into three-dimensional (3D) architecture with controllable alignment is of great importance for electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) application. However, it is a great challenge to realize it due to the weak van der Waals interconnection between MXene nanosheets. Herein, we propose to introduce gelatin molecules as a "chemical glue" to fabricate the 3D Mxene@gelatin (M@G) nanocomposite aerogel using a unidirectional freeze casting method. The Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets are well aligned in the M@G nanocomposite aerogel, yielding much enhanced yet anisotropic mechanical properties. Due to the unidirectional aligned microstructure, the M@G nanocomposite aerogel shows significantly anisotropic EMA properties. M@G-45 shows a -59.5 dB minimum reflection loss (RLmin) at 14.04 GHz together with a 6.24 GHz effective absorption bandwidth in the parallel direction (relative to the direction of unidirectional freeze casting). However, in the vertical direction of the same M@G aerogel, RLmin is shifted to a much lower frequency (4.08 GHz) and the effective absorption bandwidth decreases to 0.86 GHz. The anisotropic electromagnetic energy dissipation mechanism was deeply investigated, and the impendence match plays a critical role for electromagnetic wave penetration. Our lightweight M@G nanocomposite aerogel with controllable MXene alignment is very promising in EMA application.

Abstract
The practical exploration of electrode materials with complex hollow structures is of considerable significance in energy storage applications. Mixed-metal selenides (MMSs) with favorable architectures emerge as new electrode materials for supercapacitor (SC) applications owing to their excellent conductivity. Herein, a facile and effective metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived strategy is introduced to encapsulate multi-shelled zinc-cobalt-selenide hollow nanosphere positive and yolk-double shell cobalt-iron-selenide hollow nanosphere negative electrode materials with controlled shell numbers in a graphene network (denoted as G/MSZCS-HS and G/YDSCFS-HS, respectively) for SC applications. Due to the considerable electrical conductivity and unique structures of both electrodes, the G/MSZCS-HS positive and G/YDSCFS-HS negative electrodes exhibit remarkable capacities (∼376.75 mA h g-1 and 293.1 mA h g-1, respectively, at 2 A g-1), superior rate performances (83.4% and 74%, respectively), and an excellent cyclability (96.8% and 92.9%, respectively). Furthermore, an asymmetric device (G/MSZCS-HS//G/YDSCFS-HS) has been fabricated with the ability to deliver an exceptional energy density (126.3 W h kg-1 at 902.15 W kg-1), high robustness of 91.7%, and a reasonable capacity of 140.3 mA h g-1.

Abstract
2D-Ti3C2Tx MXene flake restacking and the small interlayer spacing of these MXenes limit their application in capacitive deionization. Here, we designed an all-MXene-based (L-S-Ti3C2Tx) flexible film electrode, enabled by large-size Ti3C2Tx (lateral dimensions of ⩾1 μm) MXene (L-Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets, which provided conductive pathways and were active substances, and by small-size Ti3C2Tx (500 nm) MXene (S-Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets, which were used as intercalation materials and active substances, for high-performance desalination in capacitive deionization applications. The as-synthesized L-S-Ti3C2Tx electrode achieved an excellent capacitance (169 F/g at 5 mV/s) and long-term cycling stability (maintained 91.7% of the initial capacitance after 5000 cycles). Additionally, these electrodes exhibited a high electroadsorption capacity (72 mg NaCl/g L-S-Ti3C2Tx, 10 mM NaCl solution). The improved electrochemical and desalination performance and outstanding long-term cycling stability can be attributed to the small Ti3C2Tx sheets that were introduced, which could be beneficial in exposing more active sites, facilitating electron transport, and shortening the diffusion path of Na ions. Our work opens up a new design space for the development of high-performance anode materials.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) has become a promising method to solve the shortage of freshwater resources recently. However, the co-ion expulsion effect obviously hinders electrosorption capacity and charge efficiency of CDI. In this work, an asymmetric CDI cell is assembled in which Na+-intercalated Ti3C2Tx (NaOH-Ti3C2Tx) serves as a cation-selective cathode, while the activated carbon (AC) serves as the anode. The NaOH-Ti3C2Tx with negatively charged surface groups (-OH, -O, and -F) is adopted to weaken the co-ion expulsion effect. Benefited from the synergistic effect of the reduced co-ion expulsion effect and expanded interlayer space, the asymmetric CDI cell achieves a higher electrosorption capacity of 12.19 mg g-1 and a higher charge efficiency of 0.826 compared with the symmetric one composed of AC (4.55 mg g-1 and 0.306) in 100 mg L-1 NaCl solution. High cyclic stability of the as-prepared asymmetric CDI cell is also observed. The improved desalination performance indicates that NaOH-Ti3C2Tx is a promising alternative as cation-selective cathode material for asymmetric CDI cells. The desalination mechanism is discussed in detail to lay the foundation for further improvement of the CDI performance of other 2D materials like MXene.

Abstract
Pseudocapacitors or redox capacitors that synergize the merits of batteries and double-layer capacitors are among the most promising candidates for high-energy and high-power energy storage applications. 2D transition metal carbides (MXenes), an emerging family of pseudocapacitive materials with ultrahigh rate capability and volumetric capacitance, have attracted much interest in recent years. However, MXenes have only been used as negative electrodes as they are easily oxidized at positive (anodic) potential. To construct a high-performance MXene-based asymmetric device, a positive electrode with a compatible performance is highly desired. Herein, an ultrafast polyaniline@MXene cathode prepared by casting a homogenous polyaniline layer onto a 3D porous Ti3 C2 Tx MXene is reported, which enables the stable operation of MXene at positive potentials because of the enlarged work function after compositing with polyaniline, according to the first-principle calculations. The resulting flexible polyaniline@MXene positive electrode demonstrates a high volumetric capacitance of 1632 F cm-3 and an ultrahigh rate capability with 827 F cm-3 at 5000 mV s-1 , surpassing all reported positive electrodes. An asymmetric device is further fabricated with MXene as the anode and polyaniline@MXene as the cathode, which delivers a high energy density of 50.6 Wh L-1 and an ultrahigh power density of 127 kW L-1 .

Abstract
Flexible and multifunctional strain sensors with superior properties including high sensitivity, low detection limits, and a wide sensing range are always in high demand for wearable electronics. However, it remains a big challenge to fully satisfy the aforementioned requirements. In particular, there is always a trade-off between high sensitivity and wide sensing range. Here, we developed a multifunctional strain sensor based on a network-structured MXene/polyurethane mat (network-M/P mat) and well balanced the relationship between the sensitivity and sensing range by rationally designing the morphology and microstructures of the sensing device. The network-structured polyurethane mat (network-P mat) was fabricated through a facile and scalable electrospinning technique. The highly conductive MXene sheets were decorated onto the network-P mat through hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. The obtained highly flexible and stretchable network-M/P mat exhibited a superior comprehensive sensing performance that was characterized by high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 228), a low limit of detection (0.1%), a large and tunable sensing range (up to 150%), excellent stability (over 3200 cycles), and multiple functions (lateral strain, vertical pressure, bending and subtle vibration). Based on its superior performance, the network-M/P mat-based strain sensor can detect a full range of body actions and subtle physiological signals (e.g. respirations and pulse waves), demonstrating great potential for applications in artificial electronic skin and wearable health detectors.

Abstract
Emerging flexible and wearable electronic devices necessitates the development of fiber-type energy storage devices to power them. Supercapacitors received great attention for applications in flexible and wearable devices due to their scalability, safety, and miniature size. Herein, we report the fabrication of a flexible supercapacitor using manganese(II,III) oxide (Mn3O4) nanowalls (NWs) grown by electrochemical deposition on carbon fiber (CF) as electrode-active material. Here, CF serves as both a substrate for the growth of Mn3O4 NWs and a current collector for making a lightweight supercapacitor. Two-dimensional Mn3O4 NWs were uniformly grown on CF with high surface coverage. A three-dimensional nanostructured electrode is obtained using these individual two-dimensional Mn3O4 NWs. The Mn3O4 NWs grown on CF are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. A symmetric sandwich-type supercapacitor is fabricated using two-dimensional Mn3O4 NW electrodes in an aqueous 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The Mn3O4 NW supercapacitor electrode exhibits a specific capacitance of 300.7 F g-1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s-1. The assembled symmetric sandwich-type supercapacitor displayed high flexibility even at a bending angle of 180° without altering its performance. The Mn3O4 NW supercapacitor also displayed a long cycle life of 7500 cycles with 100% capacitance retention.
