Pristine MXene: In Situ XRD Study of MAX Phase Etching with HCl+LiF Solution.

Many applications are suggested for Ti-MXene motivating strong interest in studies of Ti3C2Tx synthesis by solution-based methods. However, so far only ex situ studies of the synthesis are performed, mostly due to the difficulty of handling HF-based solutions. Here the first time-resolved in situ synchrotron radiation X-ray Diffractionstudy of MXene synthesis performed using a plastic capillary-size reaction cell directly in HF solution is reported. This study provides the first report on the structure of "pristine MXene" formed by Ti3AlC2 etching with LiF+HCl. The term "pristine" refers to the MXene structure found directly in HF solution. By comparing the interlayer distances of pristine MXene (≈13.5 Å), solvent-free Li-intercalated MXene (≈12.2 Å), and Li-free MXene (≈10.7 Å), it can be concluded that the width of "slit pores" formed by terminated MX layers during the Al etching does not exceed ≈3 Å. The width of these slit pores is a key factor for HF etching of Al within the interlayers. This space constraint explains the slow kinetics of MXene formation in HF-based synthesis methods. No intermediate phases are observed, suggesting that the crystalline MXene phase is formed by the simultaneous etching of Al and termination of Ti3C2 layers.

Novel ultrafiltration membrane with MXene nanosheet/zinc oxide for water purification with high performance and enhanced antifouling properties

ABSTRACT Water scarcity is a pressing global issue, and developing sustainable methods for water treatment is crucial. Ultrafiltration membranes are essential for efficient water purification, but their development faces challenges such as flux performance and fouling. This study aims to address these challenges by incorporating MXene and zinc oxide (ZnO) into polymeric membranes. The synthesis of MXene was confirmed through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) analyses. The effects of ZnO@MXene content on membrane performance were evaluated through porosity calculations, FE-SEM, XRD, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Atomic Force Microscope, and Water contact angle (WCA) analysis. The mechanical properties of the membrane were also assessed. The results show that the presence of nanoparticles significantly improved the water flux (433.7 L/m2.h), which was 3.9 times higher than that of the pristine membrane. Moreover, the antifouling properties of the membrane were enhanced with the addition of ZnO@MXene, resulting in a flux recovery rate of 97.6% and a BSA (bovine serum albumin) model fouling rejection of over 90%. This study contributes to the advancement of ultrafiltration membrane technology by demonstrating a novel approach to enhance membrane performance and antifouling properties.

Delamination of MXene using biomolecule: An effective strategy toward the utilization of delaminated MXene as fillers in polymer composites

AbstractWith the emergence of two‐dimensional (2D) materials analogous to graphene, transition metal carbides and carbonitrides with unique desirable characteristics known as MXenes have turned out to be a hot research topic. Recent studies increasingly focus on the structure–property relationships of MXenes and their hybrid formations with other materials. The exfoliation and delamination of MXenes using various agents is gaining attention, while their application in functional composites presents another exciting research direction. However, the exfoliation of multi‐layered MXene into few‐layered nanosheets using bio‐based agents remains underexplored. In this study, tannic acid (TA) is employed as a bio‐exfoliating agent to delaminate Ti3C2Tx MXene, while optimizing the ratio of TA to achieve efficient exfoliation and dye adsorption. The MXene/TA composites demonstrated a maximum adsorption capacity of 187.264 mg/g and a removal efficiency of 93.69% for methylene blue (MB) in water, in accordance with the Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, MB adsorption caused MXene to coagulate into floccules, enabling easy removal via filtration. The study highlights the trifold role of tannic acid in MXene as a delaminating, antimicrobial, and adsorption‐enhancing agent, creating a multifunctional MXene‐tannic acid system. It introduces a new class of hybrid materials with effective applications in water purification. Additionally, incorporating this hybrid material into polymers can fine‐tune their properties, leveraging the synergistic effects of the trio to develop high‐performance smart polymer composites for diverse applications.Highlights Synthesis of MXene from Ti3C2Tx Optimization of the delamination efficiency of the biomolecule tannic acid Characterization of tannic acid‐MXene delaminated composites Analysis of the antibacterial efficiency of tannic acid delaminated MXene Investigation of water purification efficiency of delaminated MXene

Strain and External Electric Field Engineering of S-Terminated MXene on Selective and Sensitive Detection of N-Containing Compound Gases: A Computational Study.

Gas sensors are used for monitoring hazardous gases and vapors. With the emergence of S-terminated MXene synthesis, herein, we explore the sensing ability of Ti3C2S2 toward N-containing gases, including NH3, NO, NO2, trimethylamine (TMA), and nicotine (NT), using first-principles calculations and a statistical thermodynamic model. We find that Ti3C2S2 exhibits high selectivity to TMA, NO, and NT with moderate adsorption energies of -0.610, -0.490, and -0.476 eV, respectively, minimizing environmental noise from ambient gases. The electronic structure of Ti3C2S2 subtly alters upon adsorption of TMA, NO, and NT, facilitating detectable signals in the sensing device. However, the adsorption of NO2 and NH3 is less pronounced due to weak physisorption (<0.3 eV). Employing engineering strategies including biaxial strain and an external electric field greatly enhances the selectivity and sensitivity of NO2 (NH3) detection by boosting adsorption strength up to -0.351 eV with ε = 5% (-0.370 eV with |E⃗| = 0.6 V/ Å). In addition, the moderate adsorption energies of the gases result in a suitable recovery time in the range of milliseconds, leading to high reusability of the sensing device. The estimated adsorption densities suggest potential coverage of these N-containing molecules even at low concentrations and room temperature. Computational analysis of the sensing capability of Ti3C2S2 using the nonequilibrium Green's function method indicates that it is a promising gas-sensing material. In addition, mechanical modifications, electric field adjustments, and gate voltage alterations could be used to obtain effective sensing materials for N-containing gas detection.

Pivotal Role of Surface Terminations in MXene Thermodynamic Stability.

MXenes, i.e., two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, have been reported as promising materials for various applications, including energy storage, biomedicine, and electronics. The family of MXenes has proliferated, and the chemical space of synthesized MXenes has expanded to 13 transition metals and a dozen elements in surface terminations. The diverse chemistry of MXenes enables systematical tuning of MXene properties to meet the needs of target applications. However, synthesizing new MXene compositions largely relies on a trial-and-error approach. To overcome it, computational predictions of MXene compositions that are thermodynamically stable are crucial to rationalize experimental efforts. Here, we report a comprehensive computational screening for thermodynamically stable MXenes across 29 transition metals and 11 surface terminations. Density functional theory calculations are employed to compute the energy above the convex energy hull as a descriptor of thermodynamic stability. The results are analyzed to explore factors crucial for determining the thermodynamic stability of MXenes, by which the chemistry of surface terminations is found to play a crucial role. The insights on the chemistry of 998 MXene compositions predicted to be (meta)stable are given to systematically guide further research on MXene synthesis and application.

Rapid advancement of 2D materials has spurred extensive research into MXenes, given their remarkable properties applicable in fields like energy storage, catalysis, and energy harvesting. MXenes, notably Ti3C2, hold promise for self-powered sensors such as piezoelectric nanogenerators, yet exploration of other variants is limited.

Facile synthesis of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets using aryl diazonium tetrafluoroborate for multiple applications

The development of an HF-free and environmentally benign method for etching the middle aluminum layer (Al) from the Ti3AlC2-MAX phase is a challenging task in titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene synthesis. Herein, we designed a diazonium salt-based ultrasonic method to prepare MXene. We have explored 4-carboxy benzene diazonium tetrafluoroborate (4-CBDF) as a delaminating agent, which can dissolve the Al layer directly from the MAX phase. 4-carboxy benzene diazonium (4-CBD+) ion promotes the intercalation as well as exfoliation simultaneously during the etching of the MAX phase and directly results in Ti3C2Txnanosheets without undergoing any additional delamination process. Synthesized MXene nanosheets show excellent photothermal performance with a conversion efficiency of 59 %. This MXene-coated GC electrode exhibits the highest capacitance of 1133 F/g at a current density 1 A/g, which maintains a retention capacitance of 91% even after 10,000 GCD cycles. The present method provides a fundamental insight into the development of MXene-based next-generation photothermal materials and supercapacitors.

Exploring the molarity of Lithium Fluoride in minimally intensive layer delamination (MILD) method for efficient room temperature synthesis of high quality Ti3C2Tx free-standing film

In recent years, MXene has become the most demanding material in the 2D family, leading to their increased use in research for a diverse range of applications, such as energy storage, water purification, optoelectronics, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and medicine. However, recent research has made it increasingly important to synthesize high-quality MXene in a safe, reliable, fast, reproducible, and good-yielding single-step method. To achieve high-quality MXene by etching the MAX phase precursors, it is very important to critically optimize synthesis parameters, such as etching method, etchant concentrations, temperature, time, etc. Minimally intensive layer delamination (MILD) method for MXene synthesis using Lithium Fluoride (LiF) salt and hydrochloric (HCl) acid seems to be a better choice in the context of improved performance in different applications as well as its scalability and reproducibility. Here, the molar ratio of HCL/LIF is critical for Aluminium etching at room temperature to produce a high-quality MXene with = O, -OH, -F termination groups in the MILD method. However, in case of MILD method the effect of LiF/HCL concentrations on quality of MXene need to be addressed. In this study, we focus on room temperature etching of Ti3AlC2 using MILD method to synthesize quasi two-dimensional carbide (Ti3C2) MXene. The influence of molarity concentration of etchants (LiF and HCl) on quality of MXene has been thoroughly investigated. Different molar concentrations of Lithium Fluoride (LiF) with fixed HCL concentration were tested at room temperature for 24 h in the etching process. The crystal structure, microstructure and composition of the MXene were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. Flexible free-standing MXene film with largest shift in the characteristic (002) peak, indicating large interplanar spacing, has been successfully achieved repeatedly for an optimum molar concentration of etchants at room temperature.

A novel hybrid sodium ion capacitor based on Na [Ni0.60Mn0.35Co0.05] O2 battery type cathode and presodiated D-Ti3C2Tx pseudocapacitive anode

The combination of the high-power density of supercapacitors and the high energy density of batteries makes hybrid sodium-ion capacitors (HSICs) a promising device. HSICs can provide better performance characteristics by harnessing both ion adsorption/desorption in the capacitor-type electrode and sodium-ion intercalation in the battery-type electrode. Here, the synthesis of MXene (Ti3C2Tx), a two-dimensional (2D) carbide and nitride is reported. Delaminated MXene (D-Ti3C2Tx) is a promising candidate for anode material in HSIC due to its large surface area (∼ 42 m2/g) and good electronic conductivity. Electrochemical study indicates that D-Ti3C2Tx anode exhibits a high discharge capacity of ∼213 mAh/g at a current rate of 20 mA/g. Further the presodiated D-Ti3C2Tx anode is paired with Na [Ni0.60Mn0.35Co0.05] O2 (P2-NMC) cathode to obtain the configuration of HSIC. The HSIC exhibits good specific capacitance of ∼187 F/g and specific discharge capacity of ∼110 mAh/g at a current density of 10 mA/g, according to the electrochemical analysis. A notable improvement in specific energy density (∼ 256 Wh/kg) and specific power density (∼579 W/kg) is also demonstrated by the HSIC. With P2-NMC being used as the cathode material rather than traditional activated carbon, there has been a rise in specific energy density.

Facile synthesis of MXene from MAX phase via Hydrothermal method using a mild etchant

The present study explains an effective and efficient synthesis of MXene (Ti3C2TX) from MAX phase (Ti3AlC2) via hydrothermal method in presence of a mild etchant that is an affordable, safe, easy to handle and environmentally friendly approach. The successful synthesis of MXene from MAX phase was explained on the basis of shifting of (002) plane towards lower angle with significantly enhancement in the corresponding FWHM of the peak, which demonstrates the enhanced interlayer spacing of MXene sheets. The lower intensity of peak corresponding to (104) plane shows removal of aluminum layer from MAX phase with a very small quantity of aluminum content as analyzed from X-ray diffractogram and EDS spectrum. The enhanced interlayer spacing are also clearly visible in FESEM images and comes out to be an average of ∼42 nm. The elemental distribution mapping shows the purity of MXene with fluorine as a functional group because of using mild fluoride etchant. The optical and electrochemical properties also support the synthesis of efficient and high purity MXene. The synthesized MXene can be proven as a promising material for a wide variety of applications from environmental remediation to electrochemical sensing and energy storage, leading to their increasing popularity in the research and scientific field.

Investigating the impact of various etching agents on Ti3C2Tx MXene synthesis for electrochemical energy conversion

MXenes represent a revolutionary class of two-dimensional (2D) materials that have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties, including excellent electrical conductivity, and remarkable mechanical strength. This study investigates the influence of different etching agents on the synthesis of MXenes for electrochemical energy conversion applications, particularly in methanol oxidation reactions (MOR). Morphological characterization, particle distribution and sizing, elemental analysis, and surface chemistry assessments were conducted using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), elemental mapping, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), Tafel analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and long-term stability assessment were employed. The study reveals that PtRu/MXene synthesized with the FeF3/HCl etching route exhibits the highest ECSA value and peak current density, being 12.3 times and 3.63 times higher than those achieved via the LiF/HCl etching route. The kinetic rate, tolerance to catalyst poisoning and long-term stability also show the better results for this etching route. These findings suggest promising potential for PtRu/MXene_FeF3/HCl as an effective anodic electrocatalyst in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications.

A Sweet Synthesis of MXenes.

Two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes) have shown great promise in various applications. However, mass production of MXenes suffers from the excessive use of toxic fluorine-containing reagents. Herein, a new method was validated for synthesizing MXenes from five MAX ceramics. The method features a minimized (stoichiometric) dosage of F-containing reagent (NaBF4) and polyols (glycerol, erythritol, and xylitol) as the reaction solvent. Due to the sweetness of polyols and the low environmental impact, we refer to this method as a "sweet" synthesis of MXenes. An in-depth molecular dynamics simulation study, combined with experimental kinetic parameters, further revealed that the diffusion of F- in the confined interplanar space is rate-determining for the etching reaction. The expansion of interlayer spacing by polyols effectively reduces the diffusion activation energy of F- and accelerates the etching reaction.

Synthesis process, thermal and electrical behaviors of Ti3C2Tx MXene

AbstractSynthesis of two‐dimensional (2D) titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx), with the name of MXene, by etching Ti3AlC2 (MAX) for different times 20 (v/v) % hydrofluoric acid (HF) at 40 °C was carried out. The influences of time, temperature and source of MAX on the synthesis of MXene were researched. The MXenes produced were characterized by fourier‐transform ınfrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy technique, energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x‐ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry (TG) instruments. Above 390 °C, MXene layers were considerably oxidizing and forming anatase and rutile phases of TiO2 under air atmosphere. The resistance of MAX and MXene was 3.6 Ω and 116 Ω, respectively. However, the resistance of the residual part of MXene heated to 620 °C considerably increased to 17850 Ω. This behavior is another important piece of evidence showing that the MXene crystal structure has changed significantly and transformed into a new chemical structure containing anatase and rutil titanium oxide (TiO2). The dielectric loss (ϵ’’) and alternating conductivity (δac) of the MAX and MXenes were determined from their impedance measurements. The ϵ’’ and δac values of MXene were compared with those of MAX. Direct curent conductivities of MAX and MXene produced for 24 h were found to be 0.016 S/cm and 0.0023 S/cm, respectively.
