Abstract
Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have attracted significant attention for potential applications in miniaturized electronics due to their high power density, rapid charge/discharge rates, and extended lifespan. Despite the unique properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials, which hold tremendous potential for revolutionary applications, effectively integrating these attributes into MSCs presents several challenges. 3D printing is rapidly emerging as a key player in the fabrication of advanced energy storage devices. Its ability to design, prototype, and produce functional devices incorporating low-dimensional nanomaterials positions it as an influential technology. In this review, we delve into recent advancements and innovations in micro-supercapacitor manufacturing, with a specific focus on the incorporation of low-dimensional nanomaterials using direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing techniques. We highlight the distinct advantages offered by low-dimensional nanomaterials, from quantum effects in 0D nanoparticles that result in high capacitance values to rapid electron and ion transport in 1D nanowires, as well as the extensive surface area and mechanical flexibility of 2D nanosheets. Additionally, we address the challenges encountered during the fabrication process, such as material viscosity, printing resolution, and seamless integration of active materials with current collectors. This review highlights the remarkable progress in the energy storage sector, demonstrating how the synergistic use of low-dimensional nanomaterials and 3D printing technologies not only overcomes existing limitations but also opens new avenues for the development and production of advanced micro-supercapacitors. The convergence of low-dimensional nanomaterials and DIW 3D printing heralds the advent of the next generation of energy storage devices, making a significant contribution to the field and laying the groundwork for future innovations.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:232-239. [PMID: 38522162 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.03.135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
The self-assembled aerogels are considered as an efficient strategy to address the aggregation and restacking of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets for high-performance supercapacitors. However, the low mechanical strength of the MXene aerogel results in the structural collapse of the self-standing supercapacitor electrode materials. Herein, a low-cost melamine sponge (MS) absorbed different cations (H+, K+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Al3+), serves as a carrier and crosslinker for loading MXene hydrogel induced by the absorbed cations on the skeleton surface and the pores of MS, resulting in the high loading mass MXene aerogels with high mechanical strength. The experimental results show that the Mg-Ti3C2Tx@MS aerogel exhibits the maximum area capacitance of 702.22 mF cm-2 at 3 mA cm-2, and the area capacitance is still 603.12 mF cm-2 even at 100 mA cm-2, indicating the high rate capability with a capacitance retention of 85.89 %. It is worth noting that the constructed asymmetric supercapacitor with activated carbon achieves high energy densities of 104.53 μWh cm-2 and 93.87 μWh cm-2 at 800 μW cm-2 and 7999 μW cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, the asymmetric supercapacitor shows the high cycling stability with 90.2 % capacity retention after 10,000 cycles. This work provides a feasible strategy to prepare Ti3C2Tx MXene aerogels with large layer spacing and high strength for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
Exploring combinatorial materials, as well as rational device configuration design, are assumed to be the key strategies for deploying versatile electrochemical devices. MXene sheets have revealed a high hydrophilic surface with proper mechanical and electrical characteristics, rendering them supreme additive candidates to integrate in electrospun electrochemical power tools. The synergetic effects of MXene 2D layers with the nanofibrous networks can boost actuator responsive ability, battery capacity retention, fuel cell stability, sensor sensitivity, and supercapacitor areal capacitance. Their superior mechanical features can be endowed to the electrospun layers through the embedding of the MXene additive. In this review, the preparation and inherent features of the MXene configurations are briefly evaluated. The fabrication and overall performance of the MXene-loaded nanofibers applicable in electrochemical actuators, batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and supercapacitors are comprehensively figured out. Eventually, an outlook on the future development of MXene-based electrospun composites is presented. A substantial focus has been devoted to date to engineering conjugated MXene and electrospun fibrous frames. The potential performance of the MXene-decorated nanofibers presents a bright future of nanoengineering toward technological growth. Meanwhile, a balance between the pros and cons of the synthesized MXene composite layers is worthwhile to consider in the future.

Abstract
The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) positions them as promising materials for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. However, the challenge lies in achieving a highly accessible surface area, while maintaining good electrical conductivity. An efficient supercapacitor demands a dense yet highly porous structure that facilitates efficient ion-surface interactions and supports fast charge mobility. Here we demonstrate the successful development of additive-free ultrahigh energy density electric double-layer capacitors based on quantum dot hierarchical nanopore (QDHN) structures. Lead sulfide QDs are assembled into QDHN structures that strike a balance between electrical conductivity and efficient ion diffusion by employing meticulous control over inter-QD distances without any additives. Using ionic liquid as the electrolyte, the high-voltage ultrathin-film microsupercapacitors achieve a remarkable combination of volumetric energy density (95.6 mWh cm-3) and power density (13.5 W cm-3). This achievement is attributed to the intrinsic capability of QDHN structures to accumulate charge carriers efficiently. These findings introduce innovative concepts for leveraging colloidal nanomaterials in the advancement of high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
MXene inks offer a promising avenue for the scalable production and customization of printing electronics. However, simultaneously achieving a low solid content and printability of MXene inks, as well as mechanical flexibility and environmental stability of printed objects, remains a challenge. In this study, we overcame these challenges by employing high-viscosity aramid nanofibers (ANFs) to optimize the rheology of low-concentration MXene inks. The abundant entangled networks and hydrogen bonds formed between MXene and ANF significantly increase the viscosity and yield stress up to 103 Pa·s and 200 Pa, respectively. This optimization allows the use of MXene/ANF (MA) inks at low concentrations in direct ink writing and other high-viscosity processing techniques. The printable MXene/ANF inks with a high conductivity of 883.5 S/cm were used to print shields with customized structures, achieving a tunable electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) in the 0.2-48.2 dB range. Furthermore, the MA inks exhibited adjustable infrared (IR) emissivity by changing the ANF ratio combined with printing design, demonstrating the application for infrared anticounterfeiting. Notably, the printed MXene/ANF objects possess outstanding mechanical flexibility and environmental stability, which are attributed to the reinforcement and protection of ANF. Therefore, these findings have significant practical implications as versatile MXene/ANF inks can be used for customizable, scalable, and cost-effective production of flexible printed electronics.

Abstract
Ensuring an appropriate nitrite level in food is essential to keep the body healthy. However, it still remains a huge challenge to offer a portable and low-cost on-site food nitrite analysis without any expensive equipment. Herein, a portable integrated electrochemical sensing system (IESS) is developed to achieve rapid on-site nitrite detection in food, which is composed of a low-cost disposable microfluidic electrochemical patch for few-shot nitrite detection, and a reusable smartphone-assisted electronic device based on self-designed circuit board for signal processing and wireless transmission. The electrochemical patch based on MXene-Ti3C2Tx/multiwalled carbon nanotubes-cyanocobalamin (MXene/MWCNTs-VB12)-modified working electrode achieves high sensitivity of 10.533 µA mm-1 and low nitrite detection limit of 4.22 µm owing to strong electron transfer ability of hybrid MXene/MWCNTs conductive matrix and high nitrite selectivity of VB12 bionic enzyme-based ion-selective layer. Moreover, the portable IESS can rapidly collect pending testing samples through a microfluidic electrochemical patch within 1.0 s to conduct immediate nitrite analysis, and then wirelessly transmit data from a signal-processing electronic device to a smartphone via Bluetooth module. Consequently, this proposed portable IESS demonstrates rapid on-site nitrite analysis and wireless data transmission within one palm-sized electronic device, which would pave a new avenue in food safety and personal bespoke therapy.

Abstract
Despite the intriguing features of freestanding flexible electronic devices, such as their binder-free nature and cost-effectiveness, the limited loading capacity of active material poses a challenge to achieving practical high-performance flexible electrodes. We propose a novel approach that integrates multiple self-assembly and in-situ polymerization techniques to fabricate a high-loading paper-based flexible electrode (MXene/Polypyrrole/Paper) with exceptional areal capacitance. The approach enables polypyrrole to form a porous conductive network structure on the surface of paper fiber through MXene grafting via hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction, resulting in an exceptionally high polypyrrole loading of 10.0 mg/cm2 and a conductivity of 2.03 S/cm. Moreover, MXene-modified polypyrrole paper exhibits a more homogeneous pore size distribution ranging from 5 to 50 μm and an increased specific surface area of 3.11 m2/g. Additionally, we have optimized in-situ polymerization cycles for paper-based supercapacitors, resulting in a remarkable areal capacitance of 2316 mF/cm2 (at 2 mA/cm2). The capacitance retention rate and conductivity rate maintain over 90 % after undergoing 100 bends.The maximum energy density and cycling stability are characterized to be 83.6 μWh/cm2 and up to 96 % retention after 10,000 cycles. These results significantly outperform those previously reported for paper-based counterparts. Overall, our work presents a facile and versatile strategy for assembling high-loading, paper-based flexible supercapacitors network architecture that can be employed in developing large-scale energy storage devices.

Abstract
Flexible sensors are highly flexible, malleable, and capable of adapting todifferent shapes, surfaces, and environments, which opens a wide range ofpotential applications in the field of human-machine interface (HMI). Inparticular, flexible pressure sensors as a crucial member of the flexiblesensor family, are widely used in wearable devices, health monitoringinstruments, robots and other fields because they can achieve accuratemeasurement and convert the pressure into electrical signals. The mostintuitive feeling that flexible sensors bring to people is the change ofhuman-machine interface interaction, from the previous rigid interaction suchas keyboard and mouse to flexible interaction such as smart gloves, more inline with people's natural control habits. Many advanced flexible pressuresensors have emerged through extensive research and development, and to adaptto various fields of application. Researchers have been seeking to enhanceperformance of flexible pressure sensors through improving materials, sensingmechanisms, fabrication methods, and microstructures. This paper reviews the flexible pressure sensors in HMI in recent years, mainlyincluding the following aspects: current cutting-edge flexible pressuresensors; sensing mechanisms, substrate materials and active materials; sensorfabrication, performances, and their optimization methods; the flexiblepressure sensors for various HMI applications and their prospects.

[PMID: 38071804 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.11.175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/02/2024]
Abstract
Magnesium-based battery system has emerged as the potential candidate to beyond Li-ion battery system due to the numerous advantageous of magnesium anode, such as natural abundance, high capacity and dendrites free. However, the selection of cathode materials and the intercalation of magnesium-ions in the cathode host material remains a challenge due to the strong interaction of highly polar divalent magnesium ions with the cathode material, making the diffusion of magnesium ions relatively difficult. Herein, the flexible TiVCTx MXene film was developed via a facile and economical approach. As the cathode host material for magnesium-ion storage, the freestanding TiVCTx MXene film displays a high specific capacity of 111 and 135 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 for magnesium-ion batteries (MIB) and Mg/Li hybrid batteries (MLHB). Furthermore, a long-term cycling stability over 1000 cycles was demonstrated and a detailed investigation of the unique long activation phenomenon of MXene films during cycling. More importantly, the reaction mechanism of magnesium-ion storage was validated, i.e., the MXene interlayer spacing variation with the reversible Mg2+ diffusion behavior. This work reveals the magnesium storage mechanism of MXene materials and provides a new pathway for high-performance storage of magnesium-ion cathode materials.

Abstract
MXenes have shown great potential for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) due to the high metallic conductivity, tunable interlayer spacing and intercalation pseudocapacitance. In particular, the negative surface charge and high hydrophilicity of MXenes make them suitable for various solution processing strategies. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of solution processing of MXene MSCs has not been conducted. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art of MXene MSCs in terms of ink rheology, microelectrode design and integrated system. The ink formulation and rheological behavior of MXenes for different solution processing strategies, which are essential for high quality printed/coated films, are presented. The effects of MXene and its compounds, 3D electrode structure, and asymmetric design on the electrochemical properties of MXene MSCs are discussed in detail. Equally important, we summarize the integrated system and intelligent applications of MXene MSCs and present the current challenges and prospects for the development of high-performance MXene MSCs.

Abstract
Understanding the dispersion behavior of MXenes is interesting from a fundamental colloid science perspective and critical to enabling the fluid-phase manufacturing of MXene devices with controlled microstructures and properties. However, the polydispersity, irregular shape, and charged surfaces of MXenes result in a complex phase behavior that is difficult to predict through theoretical calculations. As two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, MXenes can form lyotropic liquid crystal phases, gels, and aggregates. This work aims to elucidate the effects of MXene (Ti3C2Tx) sheet size on their phase behavior and associated rheological properties. Aqueous dispersions of large sheets with an average lateral dimension of 3.0 μm, small sheets with an average lateral dimension of 0.3 μm, and a bimodal mixture of the two sizes were investigated by using cross-polarized optical microscopy and rheology. At low concentrations, the large MXene dispersions exhibited lyotropic liquid crystal behavior and extended aligned textures, but increasing concentration resulted in the formation of dense flocs. Dispersions of small sheets formed small birefringent domains with increasing concentration but lacked long-range ordering. A bimodal mixture of these sizes enabled the formation of liquid crystalline phases with extended aligned textures with less floc formation. These results provide insights into using polydispersity to tune dispersion microstructure and rheological properties that can be applied to designing dispersions for fluid-phase manufacturing methods, such as direct ink writing.

Abstract
Due to the mutual repulsion between their hydrophilic surface terminations and the high surface energy facilitating their random restacking, 2D MXene nanosheets usually cannot self-assemble into 3D macroscopic gels with various applications in the absence of proper linking agents. In this work, a rapid spontaneous gelation of Ti3C2Tx MXene with a very low dispersion concentration of 0.5 mg mL-1 into multifunctional architectures under moderate centrifugation is illustrated. The as-prepared MXene gels exhibit reconfigurable internal structures and tunable rheological, tribological, electrochemical, infrared-emissive and photothermal-conversion properties based on the pH-induced changes in the surface chemistry of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets. By adopting a gel with optimized pH value, high lubrication, exceptional specific capacitances (~ 635 and ~ 408 F g-1 at 5 and 100 mV s-1, respectively), long-term capacitance retention (~ 96.7% after 10,000 cycles) and high-precision screen- or extrusion-printing into different high-resolution anticounterfeiting patterns can be achieved, thus displaying extensive potential applications in the fields of semi-solid lubrication, controllable devices, supercapacitors, information encryption and infrared camouflaging.

Abstract
Highlights Hierarchically structured Nb2O5 microflowers consiste of porous and ultrathin nanosheets. Nb2O5 microflowers exhibit enhanced capacity and rate performance boosting Na ion storage. Planar NIMSCs with charge and kinetics matching show superior areal capacitance and lifespan. Abstract Planar Na ion micro-supercapacitors (NIMSCs) that offer both high energy density and power density are deemed to a promising class of miniaturized power sources for wearable and portable microelectronics. Nevertheless, the development of NIMSCs are hugely impeded by the low capacity and sluggish Na ion kinetics in the negative electrode. Herein, we demonstrate a novel carbon-coated Nb2O5 microflower with a hierarchical structure composed of vertically intercrossed and porous nanosheets, boosting Na ion storage performance. The unique structural merits, including uniform carbon coating, ultrathin nanosheets and abundant pores, endow the Nb2O5 microflower with highly reversible Na ion storage capacity of 245 mAh g−1 at 0.25 C and excellent rate capability. Benefiting from high capacity and fast charging of Nb2O5 microflower, the planar NIMSCs consisted of Nb2O5 negative electrode and activated carbon positive electrode deliver high areal energy density of 60.7 μWh cm−2, considerable voltage window of 3.5 V and extraordinary cyclability. Therefore, this work exploits a structural design strategy towards electrode materials for application in NIMSCs, holding great promise for flexible microelectronics.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides (MXenes) are novel 2D nanomaterials with exceptional properties, promising significant impact in applications such as energy storage, catalysis, and energy conversion. A major barrier preventing the widespread use of MXenes is the lack of methods for assembling MXene in 3D space without significant restacking, which degrades their performance. Here, this challenge is successfully overcome by introducing a novel material system: a 3D network of MXene formed on a porous ceramic backbone. The backbone dictates the network's 3D architecture while providing mechanical strength, gas/liquid permeability, and other beneficial properties. Freeze casting is used to fabricate a silica backbone with open pores and controlled porosity. Next, capilary flow is used to infiltrate MXene into the backbone from a dispersion. The system is then dried to conformally coat the pore walls with MXene, creating an interconnected 3D-MXene network. The fabrication approach is reproducible, and the MXene-infiltrated porous silica (MX-PS) system is highly conductive (e.g., 340 S m-1 ). The electrical conductivity of MX-PS is controlled by the porosity distribution, MXene concentration, and the number of infiltration cycles. Sandwich-type supercapacitors with MX-PS electrodes are shown to produce excellent areal capacitance (7.24 F cm-2 ) and energy density (0.32 mWh cm-2 ) with only 6% added MXene mass. This approach of creating 3D architectures of 2D nanomaterials will significantly impact many engineering applications.

Abstract
Considering the superior capacitive performance and rich redox kinetics, the two-dimensional (2D) layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and transition metal nitrides (TMNs) have emerged as the latest set of nanomaterials. Direct incorporation of key materials vanadium nitride (VN) and tungsten nitride (W2N) into a MoS2 array has been achieved on cost-effective, bendable stainless steel (SS) foil via a reactive cosputtering route. Herein, we have utilized the synergistic effect of intermixed nanohybrids to develop a flexible asymmetric supercapacitor (FASC) device from MoS2-VN@SS (negative) and MoS2-W2N@SS (positive) electrodes. As-constructed FASC cell possesses a maximum operational potential of 1.80 V and an exceptional gravimetric capacitance of 200 F g-1 at a sweep rate of 5 mV s-1. The sustained capacitive performance mainly accounts for the synergism induced through unique interfacial surface architecture provided by MoS2 nanoworms and TMN conductive hosts. The sulfur and nitrogen edges ensure the transport channels to Li+/SO4-2 ions for intercalation/deintercalation into the composite nanostructured thin film, further promoting the pseudocapacitive behavior. Consequently, the supercapacitor cell exhibits a distinctive specific energy of 87.91 Wh kg-1 at 0.87 kW kg-1 specific power and a reduced open circuit potential (OCP) decay rate (∼42% self-discharge after 60 min). Moreover, the assembled flexible device exhibits nearly unperturbed electrochemical response even at bending at 165° angle and illustrates a commendable cyclic life-span of 82% after 20,000 charge-discharge cycles, elucidating advanced mechanical robustness and capacitance retentivity. The powering of a multicolor light-emitting diode (LED) and electronic digital watch facilitates the practical evidence to open up possibilities in next-generation state-of-the-art wearable and miniaturized energy storage systems.

Abstract
The effects of near surface or surface mechanisms on electrochemical performance (lower specific capacitance density) hinders the development of 3D printed micro supercapacitors (MSCs). The reasonable internal structural characteristics of printed electrodes and the appropriate intercalation material can effectively compensate for the effects of surface or near-surface mechanisms. In this study, a layered structure is constructed inside an electrode using an ink with liquid-crystal characteristics, and the pore structure and oxidation active sites of the layered electrode are optimized by controlling the amount of Co3 O4 -quantum dots (Co3 O4 QDs). The Co3 O4 QDs are distributed in the pores of the electrode surface, and the insertion of Co3 O4 QDs can effectively compensate for the limitations of surface or near-surface mechanisms, thus effectively improving the pseudocapacitive characteristics of the 3D-printed MSCs. The 3D printed MSC exhibits a high area capacitance (306.13 mF cm-2 ) and energy density (34.44 µWh cm-2 at a power density of 0.108 mW cm-2 ). Therefore, selecting the appropriate materials to construct printable electrode structures and effectively adjusting material ratios for efficient 3D printing are expected to provide feasible solutions for the construction of various high-energy storage systems such as MSCs.

Abstract
Despite tremendous efforts that have been dedicated to high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices (EESDs), traditional electrode fabrication processes still face the daunting challenge of limited energy/power density or compromised mechanical compliance. 3D thick electrodes can maximize the utilization of z-axis space to enhance the energy density of EESDs but still suffer from limitations in terms of poor mechanical stability and sluggish electron/ion transport. Direct ink writing (DIW), an eminent branch of 3D printing technology, has gained popularity in the manufacture of 3D electrodes with intricately designed architectures and rationally regulated porosity, promoting a triple boost in areal mass loading, ion diffusion kinetics, and mechanical flexibility. This focus review highlights the fundamentals of printable inks and typical configurations of 3D-printed devices. In particular, preparation strategies for high-performance and multifunctional 3D-printed EESDs are systemically discussed and classified according to performance evaluation metrics such as high areal energy density, high power density, high volumetric energy density, and mechanical flexibility. Challenges and prospects for the fabrication of high-performance 3D-printed EESDs are outlined, aiming to provide valuable insights into this thriving field.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2304278. [PMID: 37431209 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202304278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
Processing transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) inks into large-area functional coatings expects promising potential for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and infrared stealth. However, the coating performances, especially for scalable fabrication techniques, are greatly constrained by the flake size and stacking manner of MXene. Herein, the large-area production of highly densified and oriented MXene coatings is demonstrated by engineering interfacial interactions of small MXene flakes with catecholamine molecules. The catecholamine molecules can micro-crosslink MXene nanosheets, significantly improving the ink's rheological properties. It favors the shear-induced sheet arrangement and inhibition of structural defects in the blade coating process, making it possible to achieve high orientation and densification of MXene assembly by either large-area coating or patterned printing. Interestingly, the MXene/catecholamine coating exhibits high conductivity of up to 12 247 S cm-1 and ultrahigh specific EMI shielding effectiveness of 2.0 ×10 5 dB cm2 g-1 , obviously superior to most of the reported MXene materials. Furthermore, the regularly assembled structure also endows the MXene coatings with low infrared emissivities for infrared stealth applications. Therefore, MXene/catecholamine coatings with ultraefficient EMI shielding and low infrared emissivity prove the feasibility of applications in aerospace, military, and wearable devices.

Abstract
The amalgamation of wearable technologies with physiochemical sensing capabilities promises to create powerful interpretive and predictive platforms for real-time health surveillance. However, the construction of such multimodal devices is difficult to be implemented wholly by traditional manufacturing techniques for at-home personalized applications. Here, we present a universal semisolid extrusion-based three-dimensional printing technology to fabricate an epifluidic elastic electronic skin (e3-skin) with high-performance multimodal physiochemical sensing capabilities. We demonstrate that the e3-skin can serve as a sustainable surveillance platform to capture the real-time physiological state of individuals during regular daily activities. We also show that by coupling the information collected from the e3-skin with machine learning, we were able to predict an individual's degree of behavior impairments (i.e., reaction time and inhibitory control) after alcohol consumption. The e3-skin paves the path for future autonomous manufacturing of customizable wearable systems that will enable widespread utility for regular health monitoring and clinical applications.

Abstract
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is capable of fabricating 3D hierarchical micro/nanostructures by depositing a layer-upon-layer of precursor materials and solvent-based inks under the assistance of computer-aided design (CAD) files. 3D printing has been employed to construct 3D hierarchically micro/nanostructured electrodes for rechargeable batteries, endowing them with high specific surface areas, short ion transport lengths, and high mass loading. This review summarizes the advantages and limitations of various 3D printing methods and presents the recent developments of 3D-printed electrodes in rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries. Furthermore, the challenges and perspectives of the 3D printing technique for electrodes and rechargeable batteries are put forward. This review will provide new insight into the 3D printing of hierarchically micro/nanostructured electrodes in rechargeable batteries and promote the development of 3D printed electrodes and batteries in the future.

Abstract
Thermal energy management is a crucial aspect of many research developments, such as hybrid and soft electronics, aerospace, and electric vehicles. The selection of materials is of critical importance in these applications to manage thermal energy effectively. From this perspective, MXene, a new type of 2D material, has attracted considerable attention in thermal energy management, including thermal conduction and conversion, owing to its unique electrical and thermal properties. However, tailored surface modification of 2D MXenes is required to meet the application requirements or overcome specific limitations. Herein, a comprehensive review of surface modification of 2D MXenes for thermal energy management is discussed. First, this work discusses the current progress in the surface modification of 2D MXenes, including termination with functional groups, small-molecule organic compound functionalization, and polymer modification and composites. Subsequently, an in situ analysis of surface-modified 2D MXenes is presented. This is followed by an overview of the recent progress in the thermal energy management of 2D MXenes and their composites, such as Joule heating, heat dissipation, thermoelectric energy conversion, and photothermal conversion. Finally, some challenges facing the application of 2D MXenes are discussed, and an outlook on surface-modified 2D MXenes is provided.

Abstract
Since the discovery of Ti3 C2 Tx in 2011, 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, known as MXenes, have been attracting great attention as the emerging member of 2D materials. The surface terminations, intercalants, and the interfaces between MXenes and other substances are of importance for tuning the properties of MXenes. For instance, surface termination of MXenes can change the density of states at the Fermi levels to make MXenes electronically tunable. Different terminations can lead to band opening and changes in behavior from metallic to semiconducting, as well as dramatic changes in the work function of MXenes. On the other hand, electron transfer occurring at the interface between MXenes and other substances due to the physical interaction/chemical bonding, changes the electron configuration of MXenes and realizes the functionalization. In this review, the most up-to-date progress of the surface and interface regulation of MXenes is comprehensively summarized, introducing the effect of various synthesis methods on the surface and interface chemistry, the routes on tuning the surface and interface chemistry, and the related potential applications. Finally, the perspective of the future research directions and challenges on surface and interface regulation is outlined.

Abstract
Among the various 3D printing methods, direct ink writing (DIW) through extrusion directly affects the microstructure and properties of materials. However, use of nanoparticles at high concentrations is restricted due to difficulties in sufficient dispersion and the deteriorated physical properties of nanocomposites. Thus, although there are many studies on filler alignment with high-viscosity materials with a weight fraction higher than 20 wt %, not much research has been done with low-viscosity nanocomposites with less than 5 phr. Interestingly, the alignment of anisotropic particles improves the physical properties of the nanocomposite at a low concentration of nanoparticles with DIW. The rheological behavior of ink is affected by the alignment of anisotropic sepiolite (SEP) at a low concentration using the embedded 3D printing method, and silicone oil complexed with fumed silica is used as a printing matrix. A significant increase in mechanical properties is expected compared to conventional digital light processing. We clarify the synergistic effect of the SEP alignment in a photocurable nanocomposite material through physical property investigations.

Abstract
Renewable energy-based technologies and increasing IoT (Internet of Things) objects population necessarily require proper energy storage devices to exist. In the view of customized and portable devices, Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques offer the possibility to fabricate 2D to 3D features for functional applications. Among the different AM techniques extensively explored to produce energy storage devices, direct ink writing is one of the most investigated, despite the poor achievable resolution. Herein, we present the development and characterization of an innovative resin which can be employed in a micrometric precision stereolithography (SL) 3D printing process for the fabrication of a supercapacitor (SC). Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), a conductive polymer, was mixed with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), to get a printable and UV curable conductive composite material. The 3D printed electrodes were electrically and electrochemically investigated in an interdigitated device architecture. The electrical conductivity of the resin falls within the range of conductive polymers with 200 mS/cm and the 0.68 µWh/cm2 printed device energy density falls within the literature range.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that Ti-based MXene has great potential for electrochemical energy storage applications, including Li-ion batteries and micro-supercapacitors. However, self-stacking and weak interlayer interactions lead to poor electrochemical properties. Herein, a simple one-step vacuum filtration method was used to prepare a MXene/carboxymethylcellulose/carbon nanotube (Ti3C2Tx/CMC/CNT) hybrid membrane. Due to the unique adhesion and flexibility of CMC, it can be interwoven with CNT to form an interconnected mesh structure, which on the one hand mitigates the self-aggregation of CNT, and on the other hand, the CNT entangled on the surface of CMC imparts its electrical conductivity. Moreover, the -OH of CMC can form hydrogen bonds with the reactive terminal groups (-O, -OH, -F) of Ti3C2Tx, resulting in the tight anchoring of CMC and CNT to Ti3C2Tx nanosheet layers and bridging adjacent Ti3C2Tx nanosheets to form a complete conductive pathway. As a result, the mechanical property test indicates that the Ti3C2Tx/CMC/CNT hybrid film could achieve a maximum tensile strength of 64.9 MPa. Furthermore, an asymmetric micro-supercapacitor (MSC) using Ti3C2Tx/CMC/CNT as the cathode and reduced graphene oxide/carboxymethylcellulose/polypyrrole (RGO/CMC/PPy) as the anode was fabricated, which exhibited a high energy density of 258.8 μWh cm-2 at a power density of 750 μW cm-2, and an ultra-long cycle life (93.2% capacitance retention after 15,000 GCD cycles). The simple and scalable preparation process makes this MSC device very promising for commercial electronics applications.

Abstract
The synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites with high energy density and excellent mechanical strength is limited by the degree of lattice matching and crystal surface structure. In this study, dodecahedral ZIF-67 is synthesized uniformly on vanadium pentoxide nanowires. The influence of the coordination mode on the surface of ZIF-67 in ethanol is also investigated. Benefitting from the different coordination abilities of Ni2+ , Co2+ , and N atoms, spatially separated surface-active sites are created through metal-ion exchange. Furthermore, the incompatibility between the d8 electronic configuration of Ni2+ and the three-dimensional (3D) structure of ZIF-67 afforded the synthesis of hollow structures by controlling the amount of Ni doping. The formation of NiCo-MOF@CoOOH@V2 O5 nanocomposites is confirmed using X-ray absorption fine structure analysis. The high performance of the obtained composite is illustrated by fabricating a 3D-printed micro-supercapacitor, exhibiting a high area specific capacitance of 585 mF cm-2 and energy density of 159.23 µWh cm-2 (at power density = 0.34 mW cm-2 ). The solvent/coordination tuning strategy demonstrated in this study provides a new direction for the synthesis of high-performance nanomaterials for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
MXenes emerging as an amazing class of 2D layered materials, have drawn great attention in the past decade. Recent progress suggest that MXene-based materials have been widely explored as conductive electrodes for printed electronics, including electronic and optoelectronic devices, sensors, and energy storage systems.

Abstract
The 3D printing technique offers huge opportunities for customized thick-electrode designs with high loading densities to enhance the area capacity in a limited space. However, key challenges remain in formulating 3D printable inks with exceptional rheological performance and facilitating electronic/ion transport in thick bulk electrodes. Herein, a hybrid ink consisting of woody-derived cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and urea is formulated for the 3D printing nitrogen-doped thick electrodes, in which CNFs serve as both dispersing and thickening agents for MWCNTs, whereas urea acts as a doping agent. By systematically tailoring the concentration-dependent rheological performance and 3D printing process of the ink, a variety of gel architectures with high geometric accuracy and superior shape fidelity are successfully printed. The as-printed gel architecture is then transformed into a nitrogen-doped carbon block with a hierarchical porous structure and superior electrochemical performance after freeze-drying and annealing treatments. Furthermore, a quasi-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor assembled with two interdigitated carbon blocks obtained by a 3D printing technique combined with a nitrogen-doping strategy delivers an energy density of 0.10 mWh cm-2 at 0.56 mW cm-2 . This work provides guidance for the formulation of the printable ink used for 3D printing of high-performance thick carbon electrodes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes) have drawn a lot of attention because of their unique physicochemical properties. Recent experimental and theoretical findings reveal that water intercalation in MXene results in surface reconstruction and hydrolysis. In the current study, we investigated the electronic and optical characteristics of the water-intercalated Ti3C2O2 MXene using first-principles quantum simulations via density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). We show that water intercalation impacts the electronic states close to the Fermi level, which has a considerable effect on the electronic and optical properties of Ti3C2O2 MXene. Importantly, we linked hydrolysis with the changes in the HOMO and LUMO states and with the optical properties. The findings in this study contribute to a better understanding of the photo-response of the water-intercalated MXene.

Abstract
Microsupercapacitors (MSCs) have emerged as the next generation of electrochemical energy storage sources for powering miniaturized embedded electronic and Internet of Things devices. Despite many advantages such as high-power density, long cycle life, fast charge/discharge rate, and moderate energy density, MSCs are not at the industrial level in 2022, while the first MSC was published more than 20 years ago. MSC performance is strongly correlated to electrode material, device configuration, and the used electrolyte. There are therefore many questions and scientific/technological locks to be overcome in order to raise the technological readiness level of this technology to an industrial stage: the type of electrode material, device topology/configuration, and use of a solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and photopatternable capabilities are key parameters that we have to optimize in order to fulfill the requirements. Carbon-based, pseudocapacitive materials such as transition metal oxide, transition metal nitride, and MXene used in symmetric or asymmetric configurations are extensively investigated. In this Review, the current progress toward the fabrication of MSCs is summarized. Challenges and prospectives to improve the performance of MSCs are discussed.

Abstract
MXenes are a class of two-dimensional materials with a graphene-like structure, which have excellent optical, biological, thermodynamic, electrical and magnetic properties. Due to the diversity resulting from the combination of transition metals and C/N, the MXene family has expanded to more than 30 members and been applied in many fields with broad application prospects. Among their applications, electrocatalytic applications have achieved many breakthroughs. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the reports on the preparation of MXenes and their application in electrocatalysis published in the last five years and describe the two main methods for the preparation of MXenes, i.e., bottom-up and top to bottom synthesis. Different methods may change the structure or surface termination of MXenes, and accordingly affect their electrocatalytic performance. Furthermore, we highlight the application of MXenes in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), and multi-functionalization. It can be concluded that the electrocatalytic properties of MXenes can be modified by changing the type of functional groups or doping. Also, MXenes can be compounded with other materials to produce electronic coupling and improve the catalytic activity and stability of the resulting composites. In addition, Mo2C and Ti3C2 are two types of MXene materials that have been widely studied in the field of electrocatalysis. At present, research on the synthesis of MXenes is focused on carbides, whereas research on nitrides is rare, and there are no synthesis methods meeting the requirements of green, safety, high efficiency and industrialization simultaneously. Therefore, it is very important to explore environmentally friendly industrial production routes and devote more research efforts to the synthesis of MXene nitrides.

Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoTs) and proliferation of wearable electronics have significantly stimulated the pursuit of distributed power supply systems that are small and light. Accordingly, micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) have recently attracted tremendous research interest due to their high power density, good energy density, long cycling life, and rapid charge/discharge rate delivered in a limited volume and area. As an emerging class of electrochemical energy storage devices, MSCs using polyaniline (PANI) electrodes are envisaged to bridge the gap between carbonaceous MSCs and micro-batteries, leading to a high power density together with improved energy density. However, despite the intensive development of PANI-based MSCs in the past few decades, a comprehensive review focusing on the chemical properties and synthesis of PANI, working mechanisms, design principles, and electrochemical performances of MSCs is lacking. Thus, herein, we summarize the recent advances in PANI-based MSCs using a wide range of electrode materials. Firstly, the fundamentals of MSCs are outlined including their working principle, device design, fabrication technology, and performance metrics. Then, the working principle and synthesis methods of PANI are discussed. Afterward, MSCs based on various PANI materials including pure PANI, PANI hydrogel, and PANI composites are discussed in detail. Lastly, concluding remarks and perspectives on their future development are presented. This review can present new ideas and give rise to new opportunities for the design of high-performance miniaturized PANI-based MSCs that underpin the sustainable prosperity of the approaching IoTs era.

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

Abstract
The direct 3D printing of ultralight architectures with ultralow-concentration 2D nanomaterial inks is necessary yet challenging. Here, we describe an emulsion-based ink for direct printing using 2D nanomaterials, i.e., MXene and graphene oxide (GO). The electrostatic interactions between the ligands in the oil phase and the 2D nanomaterials in the aqueous phase help form sheet-like surfactants at the interface. The interactions between the anchored ligands among different droplets dictate the rheological characteristics of inks, enabling a gel-like behavior ideally suitable for 3D printing at ultralow concentrations of 2D nanomaterials. The 3D printed foams possess lightweight structures with densities of 2.8 mg cm-3 (GO-based) and 4.1 mg cm-3 (MXene-based), and the latter integrates outstanding electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding performance, and thermal insulation comparable to air. This work describes a general approach for direct-printing ultralight porous structures that take advantage of the inherent properties of 2D building blocks.

Abstract
Laser-induced graphene (LIG) is as a promising material for flexible microsupercapacitors (MSCs) due to its simple and cost-effective processing. However, LIG-MSC research and production has been centered on non-sustainable polymeric substrates, such as polyimide. In this work, it is presented a cost-effective, reproducible, and robust approach for the preparation of LIG structures via a one-step laser direct writing on chromatography paper. The developed strategy relies on soaking the paper in a 0.1 M sodium tetraborate solution (borax) prior to the laser processing. Borax acts as a fire-retardant agent, thus allowing the laser processing of sensitive substrates that other way would be easily destroyed under the high-energy beam. LIG on paper exhibiting low sheet resistance (30 Ω sq-1) and improved electrode/electrolyte interface was obtained by the proposed method. When used as microsupercapacitor electrodes, this laser-induced graphene resulted in specific capacitances of 4.6 mF cm-2 (0.015 mA cm-2). Furthermore, the devices exhibit excellent cycling stability (> 10,000 cycles at 0.5 mA cm-2) and good mechanical properties. By connecting the devices in series and parallel, it was also possible to control the voltage and energy delivered by the system. Thus, paper-based LIG-MSC can be used as energy storage devices for flexible, low-cost, and portable electronics. Additionally, due to their flexible design and architecture, they can be easily adapted to other circuits and applications with different power requirements.

Abstract
MXene, 2D material, can be synthesized as single flake with 1 nm thickness by using phase change material, polymer and graphene oxide. Meanwhile, the MXene and its composite derivative materials have been applied widely in electro-to-thermal conversion, photo-to-thermal conversion, thermal energy storage, and 3D printing ink aspects. Furthermore, the forward-looking utilization of the MXene nanomaterials in hydrogen energy storage, radio frequency field application, CO2 capture and remediation of environmental pollution, is explored. This article reveals that the efficiencies of the photo-to-thermal and electro-to-thermal energy conversions with the MXene nanomaterials could reach about 80-90%. In parallel, it is demonstrated that the MXene printed ink has the excellent rheological property and high viscosity and stability of liquid, which contribute to arranging the multi-dimensional architectures with functional materials and controlling the flow rate of the MXene ink in the range of 0.03-0.15 mL/min for speedily printing and various printing structures.

Abstract
MXenes are a class of two-dimensional nanomaterials with a rich chemistry, hydrophilic surface and mechano-ceramic nature, and have been employed in a wide variety of applications ranging from medical and sensing devises to electronics, supercapacitors, electromagnetic shielding, and environmental applications, to name a few. To date, the main focus has mostly been paid to studying the chemical and physical properties of MXenes and MXene-based hybrids, while relatively less attention has been paid to the optimal application forms of these materials. It has been frequently observed that MXenes show great potential as inks when dispersed in solution. The present paper aims to comprehensively review the recent knowledge about the properties, applications and future horizon of inks based on 2D MXene sheets. In terms of the layout of the current paper, 2D MXenes have briefly been presented and followed by introducing the formulation of MXene inks, the process of turning MAX to MXene, and ink compositions and preparations. The chemical, tribological and rheological properties have been deeply discussed with an eye to the recent developments of the MXene inks in energy, health and sensing applications. The review ends with a summary of research pitfalls, challenges, and future directions in this area.

Abstract
The rapid development of miniaturized electronic devices has greatly stimulated the endless pursuit of high-performance on-chip micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) delivering both high energy and power densities. To this end, an advanced three-dimensional (3D) microelectrode architecture design offers enormous opportunities due to high mass loading of active materials, large specific surface areas, fast ion diffusion kinetics, and short electron transport pathways. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the rational design of 3D architectured microelectrodes including 3D dense microelectrodes, 3D nanoporous microelectrodes, and 3D macroporous microelectrodes. Furthermore, the emergent microfabrication strategies are discussed in detail in terms of charge storage mechanisms and structure-performance correlation for on-chip MSCs. Finally, we conclude with a perspective on future opportunities and challenges in this thriving field.

Abstract
Abstract2D material hydrogels have recently sparked tremendous interest owing to their potential in diverse applications. However, research on the emerging 2D MXene hydrogels is still in its infancy. Herein, we show a universal 4D printing technology for manufacturing MXene hydrogels with customizable geometries, which suits a family of MXenes such as Nb2CTx, Ti3C2Tx, and Mo2Ti2C3Tx. The obtained MXene hydrogels offer 3D porous architectures, large specific surface areas, high electrical conductivities, and satisfying mechanical properties. Consequently, ultrahigh capacitance (3.32 F cm−2 (10 mV s−1) and 233 F g−1 (10 V s−1)) and mass loading/thickness-independent rate capabilities are achieved. The further 4D-printed Ti3C2Tx hydrogel micro-supercapacitors showcase great low-temperature tolerance (down to –20 °C) and deliver high energy and power densities up to 93 μWh cm−2 and 7 mW cm−2, respectively, surpassing most state-of-the-art devices. This work brings new insights into MXene hydrogel manufacturing and expands the range of their potential applications.

Simultaneously tuning interlayer spacing and termination of MXenes by Lewis-basic halides. Nat Commun 2022; 13:6731. [DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-34569-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
AbstractThe surface and interface chemistry are of significance on controlling the properties of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes). Numerous efforts have been devoted to the regulation of Ti3C2Tx MXene, however, tuning interlayer spacing and surface halogen termination of other MXenes (besides Ti3C2Tx) is rarely reported while demanded. Here we propose a Lewis-basic halides treatment, which is capable of simultaneously engineering the interlayer spacing and surface termination of various MXenes. Benefited from the abundant desolvated halogen anions and cations in molten state Lewis-basic halides, the -F termination was substituted by nucleophilic reaction and the interlayer spacing was enlarged. Ti3C2Tx MXene treated by this method showed a high specific capacity of 229 mAh g−1 for Li+ storage, which is almost 2 times higher than pristine one. Considering the universality, our method provides an approach to regulating the properties of MXenes, which may expand their potential applications in energy storage, optoelectronics and beyond.

Abstract
Ti3C2-MXene-based composites provide multifunctional interfaces in diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Herein, we proposed a multifunctional nanoplatform based on Ti3C2-MXene-Au nanocomposites, which combines photothermal properties and peroxidase-like activity, accomplishing synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) and enzyme dynamic therapy (EDT) accompanied by photoacoustic (PA) and thermal dual-mode imaging in vivo. Furthermore, PTT induces immunogenic cell death, and EDT promotes cell apoptosis, facilitating dendritic cell (DC) maturation and T cell infiltration into the tumor. On this basis, the antibody OX40 (αOX40) was utilized to further contribute immune therapy for reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by activating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In summary, a triune of PTT/EDT/antitumor immune therapy is achieved by combining Ti3C2-MXene-Au nanocomposites and αOX40, which possesses several strong features of good biocompatibility, NIR-controlled targeting, significant cancer cell killing, and satisfactory biosafety in vitro and in vivo. Our work might highlight the promising application of MXene-based nanoplatforms for cancer therapy.

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

Abstract
Solar-thermal conversion is considered as a green and simple means to improve the performance of energy storage materials, but often limited by the intrinsic photothermal properties of materials and crude structure design. Herein, inspired by the unique light trapping effect of wide leaf spiral grass during photosynthesis, a biomimetic structural photothermal energy storage system is developed, to further promote the solar thermal-driven pseudo capacitance improvement. In this system, three-dimensional printed tortional Kelvin cell arrays structure with interesting light trapping property functions as "spiral leaf blades" to improve the efficiency of light absorption, while graphene quantum dots/MXene nanohybrids with wide photothermal response range and strong electrochemical activity serve as "chloroplast" for photothermal conversion and energy storage. As expected, the biomimetic structure-enhanced photothermal supercapacitor achieves an ideal solar thermal-driven pseudo capacitance enhancement (up to 304%), an ultrahigh areal capacitance of 10.47 F cm-2 , remarkable photothermal response (surface temperature change of 50.1 °C), excellent energy density (1.18 mWh cm-2 ) and cycling stability (10000 cycles). This work not only offers a novel enhancement strategy for photothermal applications, but also inspires new structure designs for multifunctional energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) material-based hydrogels have been widely utilized as the ink for extrusion-based 3D printing in various electronics. However, the viscosity of the hydrogel ink is not high enough to maintain the self-supported structure without architectural deformation. It is also difficult to tune the microstructure of the printed devices using a low-viscosity hydrogel ink. Herein, by mimicking a phospholipid bilayer in a cytomembrane, the amphiphilic surfactant nonaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E9) was incorporated into MXene hydrogel. The incorporation of C12E9 offers amphiphilicity to the MXene flakes and produces a 3D interlinked network of the MXene flakes. The 3D interlinked network offers a high-viscosity, homogenized flake distribution and enhanced printability to the ink. This ink facilitates the alignment of the MXene flakes during extrusion as well as the formation of the aligned micro- and sub-microsized porous structures, leading to the improved electrochemical performance of the printed microsupercapacitor. This study provides an example for the preparation of microelectronics with tunable microstructures.

Abstract
Liquid crystal display (LCD)-based 3D printing, a facile and cost-effective manufacturing technique, is often applied when fabricating objects with porcelain structures using photosensitive resins (PSRs). Currently, 3D printed constructions are typically used as models for demonstration purposes rather than industrial applications because of their poor performance. In this study, we prepared nanocomposites by incorporating Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets to enhance the overall characteristics of a PSR, including mechanical properties and thermal resistance. Notably, the designed nanocomposites showed optimum performance at an MXene loading of 0.5% w/w. The mechanical properties of the designed nanocomposites confirmed the enhanced ultimate tensile and flexural strengths (by 32.1% and 42.7%, respectively), at 0.5% w/w MXene loading. Moreover, the incorporated MXene presented no substantial influence on the toughness of the PSR. The glass transition and thermal degradation temperatures at 5% weight loss increased by 7.4 and 10.6 °C, respectively, resulting predominantly from the hydrogen bonding between the PSR and MXene. Together, the experimental results indicate that the designed PSR/MXene nanocomposites are expected to replace pristine resins for LCD printing in various practical applications.

Abstract
The design of electrode internal structure plays an important role in improving the performance of micro-supercapacitors (MSCs). However, the complexity of the program hinders the development and application of Three-dimensional(3D)-printed MSCs. Herein, printable inks were prepared by using vanadium pentoxide nanowires as active materials, carbon nanotubes as collector and conductive agent, graphene oxide as adhesive, scaffold and water retaining agent. Benefiting from the liquid-crystal properties of materials and 3D printing technology as well as the adjustment of the materials proportion, onion-like structures with ordered porous layered structure and uniform electric-field-strength MSCs were constructed. The 3D-printed MSC has fine area capacitance (34.68 mF cm-2) and area energy density (1.73 µWh cm-2 at a current density of 0.24 mA cm-2). Therefore, using the unique characteristics of materials to build an efficient 3D printing strategy is expected to provide a feasible solution for the construction of various MSCs and other high-energy storage systems.
