Highly active two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposites, integrating the unique merits of individual components and synergistic effects of composites, have been recently receiving attention for gas sensing. In this work, In 2O 3 nanocubes/Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanocomposites were synthesized using In 2O 3 nanocubes and layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene via a facile hydrothermal self-assembly method. Characterization results indicated that the In 2O 3 nanocubes with sizes approximately 20–130 nm in width were well dispersed on the surface of layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene to form numerous heterostructure interfaces. Based on the synergistic effects of electronic properties and gas-adsorption capabilities, In 2O 3 nanocubes/Ti 3C 2Tx MXene nanocomposites exhibited high response (29.6%–5 ppm) and prominent selectivity to methanol at room temperature. Meanwhile, the low detection concentration could be reduced to ppm-level, the response/recovery times are shortened to 6.5/3.5 s, excellent linearity and outstanding repeatability. The strategy of compositing layered MXene with metal oxide semiconductor provides a novel pathway for the future development of room temperature gas sensors. 相似文献

Although the antibacterial properties of MXene nanosheets containing Ti 3C 2T x are known, their antifungal properties have not been well studied. Herein, we present for the first time a report on the antifungal properties of Ti 3C 2T x MXene. The Ti 3C 2T x MXene was obtained by first exfoliating MAX phase of Ti 3AlC 2 with concentrated hydrofluoric acid, then the Ti 3C 2T x was intercalated and deliminated by ethanol treatment and ultrasonication process. The delaminated Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets (d-Ti 3C 2Tx) were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that Ti 3C 2T x MXene was characterized by lamellar structure alternating with layers of Ti, Al and C. The EDX results revealed that the delaminated Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets were composed of Ti, C, Si, O, F, and a trace amount of Al. The XRD and Raman spectra further indicated the elimination of Al and the formation of two-dimensional Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets. The antifungal activity of the delaminated Ti 3C 2T x MXene was determined against Trichoderma reesei using the modified agar disc method. Observation using inverted phase contrastmicroscopy revealed inhibited fungus growth with the absence of hyphae around the discs treated wtih MXene. The surrounding of the control groups without an inclusion of MXene was found with large number of hyphae and spores. In addition, the spores of the fungi treated with the samples containing d-Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets did not germinate even after 11 days of culture. The results demonstrated disruption to the hemispheric structural formation of fungi colony, inhibition of hyphae growth and cell damage for fungi grown on the d-Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets. These new findings suggest that d-Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets developed in this work could be a promising anti-fungi material. 相似文献

Ti 3C 2T x MXene, an emerging two-dimensional (2D) ceramic material, has rich interfaces and strong conductive networks. Herein, we have successfully built a heterostructure between Ti 3C 2T x MXene and WS 2 to improve electromagnetic absorption performance. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to determine the successful synthesis of Ti 3C 2T x/WS 2 composite. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images show that WS 2 nanosheets are evenly dispersed on the accordion-like Ti 3C 2T x MXene. Importantly, Ti 3C 2T x MXene/WS 2 composite has sufficiently high dielectric loss and impedance matching due to self-adjusting conductivity and 2D heterostructure interfaces. As a result, the Ti 3C 2T x/WS 2 composite has a minimum reflection loss (RL min) of −61.06 dB at 13.28 GHz. Besides, it has a broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 6.5 GHz, with EAB >5.0 GHz covering a wide range of thickness. Such impressive results may provide experience for the application of Ti 3C 2T x ceramics and 2D materials. 相似文献

Ti 3C 2T x MXene has been reported to be a metallic two-dimensional (2D) material with high conductivity, whereas its photoluminescence (PL) mechanism is still under debate. Herein, we demonstrate that large Ti 3C 2T x MXene flakes exhibit tunable PL under ambient conditions. The as-prepared Ti 3C 2T x MXene flakes emit blue, yellow-green and red light under different excitation wavelengths. Their PL emission wavelengths redshift as the excitation wavelength changes from violet to red light. Surface modification of the MXenes can further tune the PL peak wavelength into the near infrared region. Using density function theory (DFT) calculations, this excitation wavelength-dependent PL can be correlated to TiO 2 defects that exist on the surface of Ti 3C 2T x. Our study expounds on the optical properties of Ti 3C 2T x MXene and is helpful for comprehensively understanding this novel material. 相似文献

Highly active two-dimensional (2D) nanocomposites have been widely concerned in the field of gas sensors because of their unique advantages and synergistic effects. 2D/2D SnO 2 nanosheets/Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanocomposites were synthesized by using layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene and uniform SnO 2 nanosheets by hydrothermal method. Characterization results show that the SnO 2 nanosheets are well dispersed and vertically anchored on the layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene surface, forming heterogeneous interfaces. Based on the gas-adsorption capabilities and synergistic effects of electronic properties, SnO 2 nanosheets/Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanocomposites show high triethylamine (TEA) gas-sensing performance at low temperature (140 °C). The sensor responses of the nanocomposites and pure SnO 2 nanosheets to 50 ppm of TEA are 33.9 and 3.4, respectively. An enhancement mechanism for SnO 2 nanosheets/Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanocomposites is proposed for highly sensitive and selective detection of TEA at low temperature. The combination strategy of two-dimensional metal oxide semiconductor and multilayer MXene provides a new way for the development of cryogenic gas sensors in the future. 相似文献

A novel free radical scavenger, multi-layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene (ML-Ti 3C 2T x), has been studied by evaluating its scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH?). It exhibits high scavenging efficiency (95% in 10 min) at low dosage (0.06 mg/mL). Based on the analysis of structure and surface states of ML-Ti 3C 2T x before and after reaction with DPPH? and a series of comparative experiments, including few-layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene (FL-Ti 3C 2T x), original Ti 3AlC 2, and soluble Ti species derived from ML-Ti 3C 2T x, the observed high scavenging activity is attributed to the intrinsic reducing property of ML-Ti 3C 2T x rather than the hydrogen donation ability from surface functional groups. A model is proposed to explain the scavenging mechanism. 相似文献

Two-dimensional layered Ti 3C 2T x MXene was prepared through hydrothermal etching method with LiF and hydrochloric (HCl) acid. Ti 3C 2T x was further treated with oxygen plasma activated by microwave energy to obtain the activated Ti 3C 2T x at different temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 550 °C. The gas-sensing properties of raw Ti 3C 2T x and Ti 3C 2T x activated with oxygen microwave plasma were tested toward different volatile organic compounds gases. The results indicated that Ti 3C 2T x activated at 500 °C exhibited excellent gas-sensing properties at room temperature (25 °C) to 100 ppm ethanol with a value of 22.47, which is attributed to the enhancement of the amount of oxygen functional groups and defects on the MXene Ti 3C 2T x film, and in turn to lead to more oxygen molecules adsorption and desorption reaction in the active defect sites. The enhancement of ethanol-sensing performance demonstrated that the activated Ti 3C 2T x possess great potential in gas sensing. 相似文献

The proliferation of electronic devices and wireless communication is leading to serious electromagnetic (EM) interference. In this work, Ti 3C 2/cement composites were developed as high efficiency EM functional materials by introducing exfoliated Ti 3C 2T x MXene with cement for green buildings with EM shielding function. In the composites, few-layered Ti 3C 2 MXene were dispersed homogeneously throughout the cement matrix. The EM properties of the composites were studied as a function of the MXene content. With increasing MXene content, real and imaginary part of permittivity was significantly improved owing to the polarization and electrical conduction caused by the MXene phase. Composites with 15 wt.% MXene showed good EM absorbing properties with a maximum effective absorbing bandwidth of 2.67 GHz. Strong EM shielding can be achieved when MXene content increased to 25 wt.%. The EM shielding effectiveness of such composites was higher than 22.0 dB, and the dominating shielding mechanism was EM absorption. This work finds new materials for the development of advanced green buildings with EM shielding function. 相似文献

Different kinds of two-dimensional hybrid electrodes have high theoretical capacitance and energy density. However, the origin of the electrochemical storage mechanism still remains elusive in alkaline, acid and neutral electrolytes. Herein, the interstratification-assembled Ti 3C 2T x MXene/NiCo-LDHs electrodes were successfully prepared and studied in different electrolytes by in-situ Raman spectroscopy. The results show that H 2O molecules in neutral electrolyte combine with –OH at the end of Ti 3C 2T x MXene during charging, and debonding occurs during discharge. Similarly, this reaction also occurs in the discharge process with NiCo-LDHs and provides smaller pseudocapacitance characteristics. Although this pseudocapacitance reaction also occurs in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, however, the difference is that the hydrogen ions will promote the electrochemical performance of Ti 3C 2T x MXene and has a certain corrosion consumption effect on NiCo-LDHs, but generally improve the electrochemical performance of Ti 3C 2T x MXene/NiCo-LDHs. Interestingly, the OH ? in alkaline electrolyte can promote the electrochemical performance of NiCo-LDHs, and produce a new electrochemical reaction with –F between the layers of Ti 3C 2T x MXene, which greatly improves the overall electrochemical performance of this hybrid electrodes. As a result, Ti 3C 2T x MXene/NiCo-LDHs electrodes have the best electrochemical performance in alkaline electrolyte with capacitance of 283 F g ?1, energy density of 14.2 Wh kg ?1 and power density of 3007.1 W kg ?1. This work lays a foundation for the preparation of high-performance two-dimensional hybrid electrochemical energy storage devices. 相似文献

By combining the advantages of doping to change the electronic structure of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), transition metal phosphides, and MXene, we proposed the idea of designing and preparing a new type of composite material, P-doped MoS 2/Ni 2P/Ti 3C 2T x heterostructures (denoted as P@MNTC), to serve as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst of electrochemical water splitting. The as-prepared P@MNTC heterostructures show a significant HER activity with an overpotential of 120 mV at 10 mA cm –2 in alkaline electrolyte, with decreasing 105 and 125 mV compared with those of MoS 2 and MXene, respectively. The density functional theory indicates that the P doping and synergy effect of Ti 3C 2T x can enhance the activation of MoS 2 and thus promote dissociation and absorption of H 2O during HER process. This strategy provides a promising way to develop high-efficiency MoS 2- and Ti 3C 2T x-based composite catalysts for alkaline HER. 相似文献

MXenes, an emerging family of two-dimensional materials, were promising electrode materials due to their excellent electronic conductivity and hydrophilicity. MXenes exhibit extraordinary rate performance and cycling stability when serving as the anode materials for Li-ion batteries, but they have relatively low capacities. We thus prepared Ti 3C 2T x/TiO 2 composites using a simple route to coat TiO 2 nanoparticles onto the delaminated few-layered MXenes, which functioned as spacers in the composite to suppress the restacking of MXene layers. The sample demonstrated excellent performance in the galvanostatic charge-discharge test, where a reversible capacity of 143?mA?h?g ?1 could still be maintained after 200 cycles at 0.5?A?g ?1 and a distinct plateau region could be clearly observed in the charge-discharge profiles. Density Theory Function calculation revealed that the hybridization of few-layered MXene was able to improve the structural stability of the composite during the insertion/de-insertion of Li atoms. 相似文献

The development of semiconductor-based room-temperature methane (CH 4) gas sensors is appealing but challenging. Herein, we report a CH 4 gas sensor operating at room temperature based on Ti 2CT x MXene, a novel p-type sensing material, achieving high-performance CH 4 detection with visible light assistance. The Ti 2CT x MXene based device showed more than seven-fold improvement for CH 4 detection under visible-light irradiation, and the response/recovery times were also sharply decreased. The excellent CH 4 sensing performance at room temperature could be attributed to the visible-light photocatalytic CH 4 oxidation activity of the Ti 2CT x sensing material. CH 4 oxidation was revealed by photocatalytic measurement, O 2-TPD and in-situ IR spectroscopies. The present work demonstrates the novel application of Ti 2CT x MXene as a promising p-type sensing material for methane detection at room temperature. Moreover, the concept of “photocatalysis-enhanced gas sensing” can be employed in room-temperature gas sensors based on other novel semiconductors. 相似文献

In order to obtain a high photoelectrochemical performance, co-catalysts loading is the most commonly used way, which can facilitate reactions and suppress the charge recombination. In this paper, a novel composite of ZnO/Ti3C2TX photoanode was fabricated by a facile spin coating of precipitating Ti3C2TX (MXene) flakes onto the surface of ZnO, as co-catalyst for enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Under simulated sunlight, the optimum composite of ZnO/Ti3C2TX photoanode showed the photocurrent density as 1.2 mA cm?2 at 1.23 VRHE, which is 1.4 times higher than that of pristine ZnO without Ti3C2TX co-catalyst (0.83 mA cm?2 at 1.23 VRHE). The ZnO/Ti3C2TX photoanode showed a photoconversion efficiency of 0.32% and maintained a stable photocurrent over 2000s. The Ti3C2TX (MXene) flakes as co-catalyst to promote the charge transfer and accelerates the reaction kinetics in ZnO/Ti3C2TX photoanode. This work delivers a two-dimensional (2D) material Ti3C2TX (MXene) as co-catalyst for enhanced ZnO photoanode PEC water splitting. 相似文献

Due to the expansion of human production activities, toxic ammonia (NH 3) is excessively released into the atmosphere, being a huge threat to human health and the natural environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to design an easy-synthesized gas-sensing material with both good room temperature sensitivity and selectivity for trace-level NH 3 detection. Herein, we fabricate a chemiresistive NH 3 gas sensor with enhanced performance based on Ni(OH) 2/Ti 3C 2T x hybrid materials. The Ni(OH) 2/Ti 3C 2T x hybrid materials are synthesized by an in-situ electrostatic self-assembly method. Attributed to the formation of interfacial heterojunctions and the modulation of carrier density, the Ni(OH) 2/Ti 3C 2T x hybrid sensor exhibits high response, outstanding repeatability, good selectivity and stability in low concentrations of NH 3. Moreover, the Ni(OH) 2/Ti 3C 2T x hybrid sensor has a higher response to 10 ppm NH 3 at the relative humidity of 40% and 60%, which makes it promising for applications in real complex environments with high humidity. Benefitting from the low power consumption and easy fabrication process, the Ni(OH) 2/Ti 3C 2T x hybrid sensor possesses a broad application prospect in the internet of things (IoT) environmental monitoring. 相似文献

In this study, a lightweight and robust Ti 3C 2T x/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) foam (TCF) was fabricated using HCl-induced self-assembly, followed by vacuum freeze-drying. The electrical conductivity and mechanical elasticity of the TCF was higher than those of monolithic Ti 3C 2T x foams. This was ascribed to the incorporation of CNTs into Ti 3C 2T x preventing the stacking of the Ti 3C 2T x nanosheets and producing a well-developed three-dimensional honeycomb-like porous network structure, which considerably improved impedance matching, promoted multiple reflection loss, increased conduction loss and polarisation loss, thus imparting remarkable microwave absorption properties to the TCF. The 1.72 and 1.92 mm thick TCF samples with absorber loadings of 4 wt%, which were obtained by immersing TCF into molten paraffin, followed by cutting it into coaxial rings, presented an optimum reflection loss of ?48.8 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.44 GHz, respectively. Moreover, upon increasing the thickness of the TCF samples from 1.52 to 4.92 mm, the EAB could be regulated from 4.16 to 18 GHz, respectively. In this study, we developed a facile method for fabricating a lightweight and robust TCF, which met the ‘light, thin, broad, and strong’ criteria and presented a broad EAB and remarkable dissipation capability, for microwave absorption materials. 相似文献

Ti 3C 2T x MXene has attracted extensive attention in the field of electromagnetic (EM) protection over recent years. Multilayer Ti 3C 2T x (M-Ti 3C 2T x), as an intermediate product of MXene ultra-thin structure, has potential advantages in the field of EM protection. Herein, the M-Ti 3C 2T x was obtained by HCl/LiF etching Ti 3AlC 2. The microwave absorption (MA) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance of Ti 3AlC 2 and M-Ti 3C 2T x were compared. The mechanism research of MA and EMI shielding indicates that the construction of local conductive network plays a leading role in the EM wave attenuation. The sample with 30% M-Ti 3C 2T x display RL min of ?50.26 dB, and corresponding bandwidth of 4.64 GHz at the thickness of 1.7 mm. Especially, the metastructure based on the EM parameters of M-Ti 3C 2T x/wax exhibits ultra-wide bandwidth (15.54 GHz). Our research will provide a basis for the design of MXene-based EM protection performance. 相似文献

Ti 3C 2T x exhibits excellent electromagnetic (EM) shielding and electrochemical properties. However, the inherent re-stacking tendency and easy oxidation of Ti 3C 2T x limit its further application. In this study, a multi-walled carbon nanotube/polyaniline composite (CNT/PANI, denoted as C–P) was introduced into Ti 3C 2T x nanosheets to obtain a Ti 3C 2T x–CNT/PANI composite (T@CP). Owing to the integrated effects of Ti 3C 2T x and C–P, the contribution of absorption was significantly improved, which finally enhanced the EM shielding performance of T@CP. The highest total EM shielding effectiveness ( SET) was close to 50 dB (49.8 dB), which was substantially higher than that of pure Ti 3C 2T x (45.3 dB). Moreover, T@CP demonstrated outstanding supercapacitive performance. The specific capacitance of T@CP (2134.5 mF/cm 2 at 2 mV/s) was considerably higher than that of pure Ti 3C 2T x (414.3 mF/cm 2 at 2 mV/s). These findings provide a new route for the development of high-efficiency Ti 3C 2T x-based bifunctional EM shielding and electrochemical materials. 相似文献

In this work, TiO 2/MXene composites were successfully synthesized through an in-situ solvothermal method, where the morphology of TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) was modified by different concentrations of agents. Ti 3C 2T x with electronic storage characteristics was employed as a co-catalyst to enhance the photocatalytic degradation activity by capturing photogenerated electrons. The experimental results reveal that, with the help of C 3H 8O agents, TiO 2 NPs are uniformly distributed on the surface of Ti 3C 2T x. The TiO 2/Ti 3C 2T x-C 3H 8O composite showed the highest photocatalytic activity of 90.5% after 75 min under mercury light irradiation, which is 57.9% higher than that of the pure TiO 2 photocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity is promoted due to the high photoelectron transmission performance of the TiO 2/Ti 3C 2T x composites. 相似文献

Novel and highly effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are desirable to attenuate unwanted electromagnetic radiation or interference produced by electrical communication devices. Here, functional Ti 3C 2T x@Ni particles with a core@shell and sandwich like structure were fabricated using the facile electroless plating technique. The core@shell structured Ti 3C 2T x@Ni consists of a Ti 3C 2T x core and a Ni shell. In the core, thin Ni layers are sandwiched in between Ti 3C 2T x flakes. EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) values of Ti 3C 2T x@Ni/wax composites increased with increasing Ti 3C 2T x@Ni content. The average EMI SE value of 60 wt% Ti 3C 2T x@Ni/wax composite was 43.12 dB, increased by 73% as compared with 24.93 dB for the same content of pristine Ti 3C 2T x in wax in the frequency range 2–18 GHz. An average EMI SE of 74.14 dB was achieved in the 80 wt% Ti 3C 2T x@Ni/wax. The enhanced EMI shielding performance should be ascribed to the synergic effect of the absorption loss of the Ti 3C 2T x core and the magnetic loss of the Ni shell and the inner Ni layers. 相似文献

Developing a new strategy to effectively prevent the restacking of MXene nanosheets will have significant impacts on designing flexible supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, a novel Ti 3C 2T x/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) porous sponge with 3D interconnected structures is prepared by sol-gel and freeze-dried methods. This Ti 3C 2T x/PVA porous sponge is used as the template of in-situ polyaniline (PANI) polymerization, and the fabricated PANI@Ti 3C 2T x/PVA hydrogel composite is applied as flexible supercapacitors electrodes. 1D conductive polymer chains PVA could increase the interlayer spacing of Ti 3C 2T x nanosheets, which is beneficial to expose more electrochemical active sites. The supercapacitor based on PANI@Ti 3C 2T x/PVA hydrogel composite exhibits the coexistence of double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance behavior. This supercapacitor shows a maximum areal specific capacitance of 103.8 mF cm ?2 at 2 A m ?2, and it also exhibits a maximum energy density of 9.2 μWh·cm ?2 and an optimum power density of 800 μW cm ?2. The capacitance of this supercapacitor is almost not change under different bending angles. Moreover, 99% capacitance retention is achieved after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles of the supercapacitor. The synergistic effect between PANI and Ti 3C 2T x/PVA composite may improve the number of reactive sites and provide efficient channels for ion diffusion/electron transport. 相似文献
