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. Here, the critical factors impacting device performance are comprehensively interpreted from the viewpoint of contact engineering, thereby giving a deep understanding of surface microstructures, contact defects, and energy level matching as well as their interaction principles. This review also summarizes the existing challenges of MXene inks and the related printing techniques, aiming at inspiring researchers to develop novel large-area and high-resolution printing integration methods. Moreover, to effectually tune the states of contact interface and meet the urgent demands of printed electronics, the significance of MXene contact engineering in reducing defects, matching energy levels, and regulating performance is highlighted. Finally, the printed electronics constructed by the collaborative combination of the printing process and contact engineering are discussed.

Abstract
2D MXenes have diverse and chemically tunable optical properties that arise from an interplay between free carriers, interband transitions, and plasmon resonances. The nature of photoexcitations and their dynamics in three different members of the MXene family, Ti3 C2 , Mo2 Ti2 C3 , and Nb2 C, are investigated using two complementary pump-probe techniques, transient optical absorption, and time-resolved terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. Measurements reveal pronounced plasmonic effects in the visible and near-IR in all three. Optical excitation, with either 400 or 800 nm pulses, results in a rapid increase in lattice temperature, evidenced by a pronounced broadening of the plasmon mode that presents as a plasmon bleach in transient absorption measurements. Observed kinetics of plasmon bleach recovery provide a means to monitor lattice cooling. Remarkably slow cooling, proceeding over hundreds of picoseconds to nanoseconds time scales, implies MXenes have low thermal conductivities. The slowest recovery kinetics are observed in the MXene with the highest free carrier density, viz. Ti3 C2 , that supports phonon scattering by free carriers as a possible mechanism limiting thermal conductivity. These new insights into photoexcitation dynamics can facilitate their applications in photothermal solar energy conversion, plasmonic devices, and even photothermal therapy and drug delivery.

Abstract
The already intriguing electronic and optical properties of the MXene Sc2C family can be further tuned through a wide range of possible functionalizations. Here, by means of density functional theory, we show that the 36 possible elements of the Janus MXT (M: Sc2C, X: O, F, OH, T: C, N, S) family, built by considering the four possible structural models (i) FCC, (ii) HCP, (iii) FCC + HCP, and (iv) HCP + FCC, are all potentially stable. The analysis of their mechanical properties shows the excellent mechanical flexibility of functionalized MXenes (f-MXenes) under large strain, making them more suitable for applications where stress could be an issue. Interestingly, while Sc2C presents a metallic character, Sc2COS, Sc2CFN and Sc2COHN are found to be semiconductors with bandgaps of 2.5 eV (indirect), 1.67 eV (indirect) and 1.1 eV (direct), respectively, which presents promising applications for nano- and optoelectronics. Moreover, Sc2CFC presents a ferromagnetic ground state with the 2 × 2 × 1 supercell magnetic moment of 3.99 μB, while the ground state of Sc2COHC might be antiferromagnetic with a magnetic moment of 3.98 μB, depending on the environment. Remarkably, the band structures of Sc2CFC and Sc2COHC present a half-metallic character with an HSE06 fundamental band gap of 0.60 eV and 0.48 eV, respectively. Our results confirm the extraordinary potential of the Janus MXT (M: Sc2C, X: O, F, OH, T: C, N, S) family for novel applications in 2D nano-,opto- and spintronics.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation have emerged as promising strategies to remedy the existing environmental and energy crises. However, grafting of expensive and less abundant noble-metal cocatalysts on photocatalyst materials is a mandatory practice to achieve enhanced photocatalytic performance owing to the ability of the cocatalysts to extract electrons efficiently from the photocatalyst and enable rapid/enhanced catalytic reaction. Hence, developing highly efficient, inexpensive, and noble-metal-free cocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements is considered as a noteworthy step toward considering photocatalysis as a more economical strategy. Recently, MXenes (two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have shown huge potential as alternatives for noble-metal cocatalysts. MXenes have several excellent properties, including atomically thin 2D morphology, metallic electrical conductivity, hydrophilic surface, and high specific surface area. In addition, they exhibit Gibbs free energy of intermediate H atom adsorption as close to zero and less than that of a commercial Pt-based cocatalyst, a Fermi level position above the H2 generation potential, and an excellent ability to capture and activate CO2 molecules. Therefore, there is a growing interest in MXene-based photocatalyst materials for various photocatalytic events. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the synthesis of MXenes with 2D and 0D morphologies, the stability of MXenes, and MXene-based photocatalysts for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. The existing challenges and the possible future directions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of MXene-based photocatalysts are also discussed.

Abstract
MXenes are a rapidly expanding and large family of two-dimensional (2D) materials that have recently garnered incredible research interests for diverse applications domains in various industrial sectors. Owing to unique inherent structural and physicochemical characteristics, such as high surface area, biological compatibility, robust electrochemistry, and high hydrophilicity, MXenes are appraised as a prospective avenue for environmental-clean-up technologies to detect and mitigate an array of recalcitrant hazardous contaminants from environmental matrices. MXene-based nanoarchitectures are thought to mitigate inorganic pollutants via interfacial chemical transformation and sorption, while three different mechanisms, including i) surface complexation and sorption (ii) catalytic activation and removal and (iii) radical's generation-based photocatalytic degradation, are involved in the removal of organic contaminants. Considering the application performance of MXenes on the incessant rise to expansion, in this review, we discuss the wide-spectrum applicability of diverse MXenes-based hybrid nanocomposites in environmental remediation. A brief description related to environmental pollutants, structural properties, chemical abilities, and synthesis route of MXenes is delineated at the start. Afterwards, the adsorption and degradative robustness of MXene-based designer nanomaterials for various contaminants including organic dyes, toxic heavy metals, pesticide residues, phenolics, antibiotics, radionuclides, and many others are thoroughly vetted to prove their potentiality in the arena of wastewater purification and remediation. Lastly, challenges and trends in assessing the wide-range applicability and scalability of MXenes are outlined. Seeing encouraging outcomes in plenty of reports, it can be concluded that MXenes-based nanostructures could be considered the next-generation candidates for water sustainability.

Abstract
2D materials have been interesting for applications into nanodevices due to their intriguing physical properties. In this work, four types of unique structures are designed that are composed of MXenes and C/N-Si layers (CNSi), where MXene is sandwiched by the CNSi layers with different thicknesses, for their practical applications into integrated devices. The systematic calculations on their elastic constants, phonon dispersions, and thermodynamic properties show that these structures are stable, depending on the composition of MXene. It is found: 1) different from MXene or N-functionalized MXene (M2 CN2 ), SiN2 /M2 X/SiN2 possess new electronic properties with free carriers only in the middle, leading to 2D free electron gas; 2) CNSi/MXene/CNSi shows an intrinsic Ohmic semiconductor-metal-semiconductor (S-M-S) contact, which is potential for applications into nanodevices; and 3) O/M2 C/SiN2 and N/M2 C/OSiN are also stable and show different electronic properties, which can be semiconductor or metal as a whole depending on the interface. A method is further proposed to fabricate the 2D structures based on the industrial availability. The findings may provide a novel strategy to design and fabricate the 2D structures for their application into nanodevices and integrated circuits.

Abstract
The exceptionally low deformation potential is proposed as the key determinant for the high carrier mobility in α-phosphorene. This is related to its unique corrugated two-dimensional structure. Herein, we present a systematic first-principles density functional theory study on ten α-phosphorene isostructures by calculating the three key parameters of the carrier mobility. An electron mobility in the armchair direction with a value comparable to α-phosphorene is found in α-PAs, α-PCH, and α-AsCH, due to the structure-caused low deformation potential. The highest carrier mobility is predicted in α-graphane because of a two-orders-of-magnitude smaller deformation potential than the other isostructures. The low deformation potential can be correlated to the separation of charge carriers from neighbouring unit cells. This study highlights a feasible route to generating high mobility materials through deformation potential engineering.

Abstract
Schiff bases are versatile organic compounds which are widely used and synthesized by condensation reaction of different amino compound with aldehydes or ketones known as imine. Schiff base ligands are considered as privileged ligands as they are simply synthesized by condensation. They show broad range of application in medicine, pharmacy, coordination chemistry, biological activities, industries, food packages, dyes, and polymer and also used as an O2 detector. Semicarbazone is an imine derivative which is derived from condensation of semicarbazide and suitable aldehyde and ketone. Imine ligand-containing transition metal complexes such as copper, zinc, and cadmium have shown to be excellent precursors for synthesis of metal or metal chalcogenide nanoparticles. In recent years, the researchers have attracted enormous attention toward Schiff bases, semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones, and their metal complexes owing to numerous applications in pharmacology such as antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antituberculosis, anticancer, anti-HIV, catalytic application in oxidation of organic compounds, and nanotechnology. In this review, we summarize the synthesis, structural, biological, and catalytic application of Schiff bases as well as their metal complexes.

Abstract
MXenes are a rapidly growing family of 2D materials that exhibit a highly versatile structure and composition, allowing for significant tuning of the materials properties. These properties are, however, ultimately limited by the surface terminations, which are typically a mixture of species, including F and O that are inherent to the MXene processing. Other and robust terminations are lacking. Here, we apply high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), corresponding image simulations and first-principles calculations to investigate the surface terminations on MXenes synthesized from MAX phases through Lewis acidic melts. The results show that atomic Cl terminates the synthesized MXenes, with mere residual presence of other termination species. Furthermore, in situ STEM-electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) heating experiments show that the Cl terminations are stable up to 750 °C. Thus, we present an attractive new termination that widely expands the MXenes' functionalization space and enables new applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials are emerging as a promising platform for ultrathin channels in field-effect transistors. To this aim, novel high-mobility semiconductors need to be found or engineered. Although extrinsic mechanisms can in general be minimized by improving fabrication processes, the suppression of intrinsic scattering (driven, for example, by electron-phonon interactions) requires modification of the electronic or vibrational properties of the material. Because intervalley scattering critically affects mobilities, a powerful approach to enhance transport performance relies on engineering the valley structure. We show here the power of this strategy using uniaxial strain to lift degeneracies and suppress scattering into entire valleys, dramatically improving performance. This is shown in detail for arsenene, where a 2% strain stops scattering into four of the six valleys and leads to a 600% increase in mobility. The mechanism is general and can be applied to many other materials, including in particular the isostructural antimonene and blue phosphorene.

Abstract
Global warming caused by burning of fossil fuels is indisputably one of mankind's greatest challenges in the 21st century. To reduce the ever-increasing CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere, dry solid adsorbents with large surface-to-volume ratio such as carbonaceous materials, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks have emerged as promising material candidates for capturing CO2 . However, challenges remain because of limited CO2 /N2 selectivity and long-term stability. The effective adsorption of CO2 gas (≈12 mol kg-1 ) on individual sheets of 2D transition metal carbides (referred to as MXenes) is reported here. It is shown that exposure to N2 gas results in no adsorption, consistent with first-principles calculations. The adsorption efficiency combined with the CO2 /N2 selectivity, together with a chemical and thermal stability, identifies the archetype Ti3 C2 MXene as a new material for carbon capture (CC) applications.

Abstract
A recent experiment [ Jin , E. ; Science 2017 , 357 , 673 - 676 ] shows that the conductivity of a two-dimensional (2D) sp2-carbon-hybridized π-conjugated covalent organic framework (sp2-c-COF) can be enhanced by as much as 12 orders of magnitude after iodine oxidation processing. To understand the physical mechanism underlying such a huge increase in the conductivity, we perform multiscale computations and find that the high conductivity of the iodine-oxidized 2D COF can be attributed to both hole transfer and ion transfer within the 2D COF. The computed dominant charge distribution corresponding to the valence band maximum (VBM) suggests that the delocalized π electrons occur mostly at the active reaction sites. The computed low ionization energy at the active reaction sites further supports that the 2D COF tends to lose electrons during iodine oxidation and to yield cationic COF and anionic triiodide I3-. Complementary classical molecular dynamics simulation shows a relatively high anion conductivity of 13.63 × 10-2 S m-1, consistent with the high conductivity measured from the experiment (7.1 × 10-2 S m-1). Meanwhile, we find that the cations in 2D COF can also induce a shift of the Fermi level to cross the valence band, thereby enhancing the hole mobility to 86.75 cm2 V-1 s-1. For proposing a potential application of the highly conductive iodine-oxidized 2D sp2-c-COF, we design a prototypical model of the 2D spirally wound lithium-ion battery and find that it exhibits enhanced stability than a typical electrolyte material.
