Abstract
2D materials, such as graphene, MXenes (metal carbides and nitrides), graphdiyne (GDY), layered double hydroxides, and black phosphorus, are widely used as electrocatalyst supports for alcohol oxidation reactions (AORs) owing to their large surface area and unique 2D charge transport channels. Furthermore, the development of highly efficient electrocatalysts for AORs via tuning the structure of 2D support materials has recently become a hot area. This article provides a critical review on modification strategies to develop 2D material-based electrocatalysts for AOR. First, the principles and influencing factors of electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohols (such as methanol and ethanol) are introduced. Second, surface molecular functionalization, heteroatom doping, and composite hybridization are deeply discussed as the modification strategies to improve 2D material catalyst supports for AORs. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of 2D material-based electrocatalysts for AORs are outlined. This review will promote further efforts in the development of electrocatalysts for AORs.

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
MXenes, two-dimensional (2D) materials that consist of transition metal carbides, nitrides and/or carbonitrides, have recently attracted much attention in energy-related and biomedicine fields. These materials have substantial advantages over traditional carbon graphenes: they possess high conductivity, high strength, excellent chemical and mechanical stability, and superior hydrophilic properties. Furthermore, diverse functional groups such as -OH, -O, and -F located on the surface of MXenes aid the immobilization of numerous noble metal nanoparticles (NP). Therefore, 2D MXene composite materials have become an important and convenient option of being applied as support materials in many fields. In this review, the advances in the synthesis (including morphology studies, characterization, physicochemical properties) and applications of the currently known 2D MXene-metal (Pd, Ag, Au, and Cu) nanomaterials are summarized based on critical analysis of the literature in this field. Importantly, the current state of the art, challenges, and the potential for future research on broad applications of MXene-metal nanomaterials have been discussed.

Abstract
All-solid-state Ti3C2Tx neutral symmetric fiber supercapacitors (PVA EGHG Ti3C2Tx FSCs) with high energy density and wide temperature range are constructed by using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-ethylene glycol hydrogel (EGHG)-sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) as electrolyte and separator, and Ti3C2Tx fiber as electrodes. Ti3C2Tx fiber is prepared using 130 mg mL-1 Ti3C2Tx nanosheet ink as an assembly unit in a coagulation bath of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and distilled water with 5 wt% CaCl2 by a wet spinning method. The prepared Ti3C2Tx fiber exhibits a specific capacity of 385 F cm-3 and a capacitance retention of 94 % after 10,000 cycles in 1 M NaClO4 electrolyte. The assembled PVA EGHG Ti3C2Tx FSCs deliver a specific capacitance of 41 F cm-3, a volumetric energy density of 5 mWh cm-3, and a capacitance retention of 92 % after 500 times continuous bending. Furthermore, it shows good flexibility and excellent capacitance over a wide temperature range of -40 to 40 °C and maintains its electrochemical performance under varying degrees of bending. This study provides a viable strategy for designing and assembling all-solid-state neutral symmetric fiber supercapacitors with high energy density and wide temperature range.

Abstract
Ionic electroactive polymer-based actuators have attracted much attention due to their low potential stimuli. In this work, MXene-Nafion composite actuators were fabricated, and the actuation performances were tested. The morphology of the as-made MXene-Nafion composite showed that the composite membrane was homogeneous, with an MXene doping level up to 5 wt%. In addition, the results of blocked force, response speed, and durability demonstrated that the actuation behavior of the composite-based actuator was enhanced due to the efficient dispersion of the two-dimensional nanofiller MXene. In addition, the blocking force of the composite actuator with a doping level of 0.5 wt% was about 6 times that of the pure Nafion without back-relaxation and durability degradation during the testing period.

Abstract
Improving the electrocatalytic properties by regulating the surface electronic structure of supported metals has always been a hot issue in electrocatalysis. Herein, two novel catalysts Pd/B-N-Ti3C2 and Pd/N-B-Ti3C2 are used as the models to explore the effect of the B and N co-doping sequence on the surface electronic structure of metals, together with the electrocatalytic properties of ethanol oxidation reaction. The two catalysts exhibit obviously stratified morphology, and the Pd nanoparticles having the same amount are both uniformly distributed on the surface. However, the electron binding energy of Ti and Pd elements of Pd/B-N-Ti3C2 is smaller than that of Pd/N-B-Ti3C2. By exploring the electrocatalytic properties for EOR, it can be seen that all the electrochemical surface area, maximum peak current density, and antitoxicity of the Pd/B-N-Ti3C2 catalyst are much better than its counterpart. Such different properties of the catalysts can be attributed to the various doping species of B and N introduced by the doping sequence, which significantly affect the surface electronic structure and size distribution of supported metal Pd. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that different B-doped species can offer sites for the H atom from CH3CH2OH of dehydrogenation in Pd/B-N-Ti3C2, thereby facilitating the progress of the EOR to a favorable pathway. This work provides a new insight into synthesizing the high-performance anode materials for ethanol fuel cells by regulating the supported metal catalyst with multielement doping.

Abstract
Direct oxidation fuel cell (DOFC) has been opted as a green alternative to fossil fuels and intermittent energy resources as it is economically viable, possesses good conversion efficiency, as well as exhibits high power density and superfast charging. The anode catalyst is a vital component of DOFC, which improves the oxidation of fuels; however, the development of an efficient anode catalyst is still a challenge. In this regard, 2D materials have attracted attention as DOFC anode catalysts due to their fascinating electrochemical properties such as excellent mechanical properties, large surface area, superior electron transfer, presence of active sites, and tunable electronic states. This timely review encapsulates in detail different types of fuel cells, their mechanisms, and contemporary challenges; focuses on the anode catalyst/support based on new generation 2D materials, namely, 2D transition metal carbide/nitride or carbonitride (MXene), graphitic carbon nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, and transition metal oxides; as well as their properties and role in DOFC along with the mechanisms involved.
