Abstract
With the impetus of flexible electronics and micro-nano fabrication technology, the human demand for flexible intelligent wearable devices is on an upsurge. In recent years, new functional fibers have undergone rapid development and emerged as an indispensable carrier of flexible wearable e-textiles. However, to achieve their functional applications and durability, new functional fibers must possess good electrical and mechanical properties. As an emerging two-dimensional material, MXenes have attracted immense attention for their high electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, specific surface area, adjustable surface properties, and exceptional processability. As such, MXenes have become an ideal candidate for the primary functional component of functional fibers. This paper presents a comprehensive review of research progress on MXene-based fibers in the construction of flexible wearable electronic textiles. Firstly, we briefly outline the preparation methods of MXenes materials. Next, we summarize the processing types of MXene-based fibers and highlight their performance parameters. Lastly, we summarize the primary application scenarios of MXene-based fibers and anticipate the future development of flexible wearable e-textiles.

Graphene Coated Dielectric Hierarchical Nanostructures for Highly Sensitive Broadband Infrared Sensing. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2206167.

Abstract
Broadband infrared (IR) absorption is sought after for wide range of applications. Graphene can support IR plasmonic waves tightly bound to its surface, leading to an intensified near-field. However, the excitation of graphene plasmonic waves usually relies on resonances. Thus, it is still difficult to directly obtain both high near-field intensity and high absorption rate in ultra-broad IR band. Herein, a novel method is proposed to directly realize high near-field intensity in broadband IR band by graphene coated manganous oxide microwires featured hierarchical nanostructures (HNSs-MnO@Gr MWs) both experimentally and theoretically. Both near-field intensity and IR absorption of HNSs-MnO@Gr MWs are enhanced by at least one order of magnitude compared to microwires with smooth surfaces. The results demonstrate that the HNSs-MnO@Gr MWs support vibrational sensing of small organic molecules, covering the whole fingerprint region and function group region. Compared with the graphene-flake-based enhancers, the signal enhancement factors reach a record high of 103 . Furthermore, just a single HNSs-MnO@Gr MW can be constructed to realize sensitively photoresponse with high responsivity (over 3000 V W-1 ) from near-IR to mid-IR. The graphene coated dielectric hierarchical micro/nanoplatform with enhanced near-field intensity is scalable and can harness for potential applications including spectroscopy, optoelectronics, and sensing.

Abstract
The rapid expansion of nanotechnology and material science prompts two-dimensional (2D) materials to be extensively used in biomedicine, optoelectronic devices, and ultrafast photonics. Owing to the broadband operation, ultrafast recovery time, and saturable absorption properties, 2D materials become the promising candidates for being saturable absorbers in ultrafast pulsed lasers. In recent years, the novel 2D MXene materials have occupied the forefront due to their superior optical and electronic, as well as mechanical and chemical properties. Herein, we introduce the fabrication methods of MXenes, incorporation methods of combining 2D materials with laser cavities, and applications of ultrafast pulsed lasers based on MXenes. Firstly, top-down and bottom-up approaches are two types of fabrication methods, where top-down way mainly contains acid etching and the chief way of bottom-up method is chemical vapor deposition. In addition to these two typical ones, other methods are also discussed. Then we summarize the advantages and drawbacks of these approaches. Besides, commonly used incorporation methods, such as sandwich structure, optical deposition, as well as coupling with D-shaped, tapered, and photonic crystal fibers are reviewed. We also discuss their merits, defects, and conditions of selecting different methods. Moreover, we introduce the state of the art of ultrafast pulsed lasers based on MXenes at different wavelengths and highlight some excellent output performance. Ultimately, the outlook for improving fabrication methods and applications of MXene-based ultrafast lasers is presented.

Abstract
Sensors are becoming increasingly significant in our daily life because of the rapid development in electronic and information technologies, including Internet of Things, wearable electronics, home automation, intelligent industry, etc. There is no doubt that their performances are primarily determined by the sensing materials. Among all potential candidates, layered nanomaterials with two-dimensional (2D) planar structure have numerous superior properties to their bulk counterparts which are suitable for building various high-performance sensors. As an emerging 2D material, MXenes possess several advantageous features of adjustable surface properties, tunable bandgap, and excellent mechanical strength, making them attractive in various applications. Herein, we particularly focus on the recent research progress in MXene-based sensors, discuss the merits of MXenes and their derivatives as sensing materials for collecting various signals, and try to elucidate the design principles and working mechanisms of the corresponding MXene-based sensors, including strain/stress sensors, gas sensors, electrochemical sensors, optical sensors, and humidity sensors. In the end, we analyze the main challenges and future outlook of MXene-based materials in sensor applications.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides (TMCs) have attracted great interest owing to their potential applications for energy storage and electrocatalysis. But the synthesis of high-quality TMCs usually needs high energy consumption, long reaction times, or dangerous chemical reagents, limiting their practical application. Here, a microwave combustion method is developed to rapidly (∼2 min) produce transition metal carbides under ambient conditions. The as-synthesized TMCs (W2C, VC, Fe3C, NbC, TaC, and Mo2C) and rGO composites exhibit outstanding catalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) over a broad range of pH values. This work highlights a novel strategy for the design and synthesis of transition metal carbides.

Abstract
We have reported the synthesis of a new kind of composite combining a rhenium precursor and active carbon. Similarly to other refractory metals, rhenium exhibits several oxidation states that makes it an ideal candidate for redox-type energy storage materials. A simple impregnation of pretreated active carbon with ammonium perrhenate allowed to produce an electrode material with an enhanced specific capacitance. There was not any observed detrimental effect of metal species on the cycle life of the electrode. A small increase in charge transfer resistance was counter-balanced by the improved impedance in the whole examined range.

Abstract
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is considered to be an efficient method for fabricating large-area and high-quality graphene films due to its excellent controllability and scalability. Great efforts have been made to control the growth of graphene to achieve large domain sizes, uniform layers, fast growth, and low synthesis temperatures. Some attempts have been made by both the scientific community and startup companies to mass produce graphene films; however, there is a large difference in the quality of graphene synthesized on a laboratory scale and an industrial scale. Here, recent progress toward the mass production of CVD graphene films is summarized, including the manufacturing process, equipment, and critical process parameters. Moreover, the large-scale homogeneity of graphene films and fast characterization methods are also discussed, which are crucial for quality control in mass production.

Abstract
Metal-induced layer-exchange growth of amorphous carbon (a-C) is a unique technique for fabricating high-quality, uniform multilayer graphene (MLG) directly on an insulating material. Here, we investigated the effect of transition-metal species on the interaction between metals and a-C in the temperature range of 600-1000 °C. As a result, metals were classified into four groups: (1) layer exchange (Co, Ni, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ru, Ir, and Pt), (2) carbonization (Ti, Mo, and W), (3) local MLG formation (Pd), and (4) no graphitization (Cu, Ag, and Au). Some layer-exchange metals allowed for low-temperature MLG synthesis at 600 °C, whereas others allowed for high-quality MLG with a Raman G/D peak ratio of up to 8.3. Based on the periodic table, we constructed metal selection guidelines for growing MLG on an insulator, opening the door for applications that combine advanced electronic devices with carbon materials.

Abstract
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on metals is so far the best suited method to produce high-quality, large-area graphene. We discovered an unprecedentedly large family of small size-selective carbon clusters that form together with graphene during CVD. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT), we unambiguously determine their atomic structure. For that purpose, we use grids based on a graphene moiré and a dilute atomic lattice that unambiguously reveal the binding geometry of the clusters. We find that the observed clusters bind in metastable configurations on the substrate, while the thermodynamically stable configurations are not observed. We argue that the clusters are formed under kinetic control and establish that the evolution of the smallest clusters is blocked. They are hence products of surface reactions in competition with graphene growth, rather than intermediary species to the formation of extended graphene, as often assumed in the literature. We expect such obstacles to the synthesis of perfect graphene to be ubiquitous on a variety of metallic surfaces.
