Abstract
The fast development of Internet of Things and the rapid advent of next-generation versatile wearable electronics require cost-effective and highly-efficient electroactive materials for flexible electrochemical energy storage devices. Among various electroactive materials, binder-free nanostructured arrays have attracted widespread attention. Featured with growing on a conductive and flexible substrate without using inactive and insulating binders, binder-free 3D nanoarray electrodes facilitate fast electron/ion transportation and rapid reaction kinetics with more exposed active sites, maintain structure integrity of electrodes even under bending or twisted conditions, readily release generated joule heat during charge/discharge cycles and achieve enhanced gravimetric capacity of the whole device. Binder-free metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoarrays and/or MOF-derived nanoarrays with high surface area and unique porous structure have emerged with great potential in energy storage field and been extensively exploited in recent years. In this review, common substrates used for binder-free nanoarrays are compared and discussed. Various MOF-based and MOF-derived nanoarrays, including metal oxides, sulfides, selenides, nitrides, phosphides and nitrogen-doped carbons, are surveyed and their electrochemical performance along with their applications in flexible energy storage are analyzed and overviewed. In addition, key technical issues and outlooks on future development of MOF-based and MOF-derived nanoarrays toward flexible energy storage are also offered.

Abstract
2D layer Ti3 C2 Tx material attracts enormous attention in lithium ion energy storage field owing to the unique surface chemistry properties, but the material still suffers from restacking issue and the restriction on capacity. Herein, copper phosphide (Cu3 P) nanostructures@Ti3 C2 Tx composites are prepared by the in situ generation of Cu-BDC precursor in the bulk material followed with phosphorization. The uniformly distributed copper phosphide nanostructures effectively expand the interlayer spacing promoting the structural stability, and achieves the effective connection with the bulk material accelerating the diffusion and migration of lithium ions. The electrochemical activity of Cu3 P also provides more lithium ion active sites for lithium storage. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis verifies that Ti─O─P bond with strong covalency allows the upper shift of maximum valence band and Fermi level, stimulating the charge transportation between Cu3 P and the bulk Ti3 C2 Tx for better electrode kinetics. 3Cu3 P@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibits excellent rate performance of 165.4 mAh g-1 at 3000 mA g-1 and the assembled 3Cu3 P@Ti3 C2 Tx //AC Lithium-ion hybrid capacitorsLIC exhibits superior energy density of 93.0 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 2367.3 W kg-1 . The results suggest that the interfacial modification of Ti3 C2 Tx with transition metal phosphides will be advantageous to its high energy density application in lithium-ion storage.

Abstract
Dual-atom catalytic sites on conductive substrates offer a promising opportunity for accelerating the kinetics of multistep hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively). Using MXenes as substrates is a promising strategy for depositing those dual-atom electrocatalysts, if the efficient surface anchoring strategy ensuring metal-substrate interactions and sufficient mass loading is established. We introduce a surface-modification strategy of MXene substrates by preadsorbing L-tryptophan molecules, which enabled attachment of dual-atom Co/Ni electrocatalyst at the surface of Ti3C2Tx by forming N-Co/Ni-O bonds, with mass loading reaching as high as 5.6 wt %. The electron delocalization resulting from terminated O atoms on MXene substrates, N atoms in L-tryptophan anchoring moieties, and catalytic metal atoms Co and Ni provides an optimal adsorption strength of intermediates and boosts the HER and OER kinetics, thereby notably promoting the intrinsic activity of the electrocatalyst. CoNi-Ti3C2Tx electrocatalyst displayed HER and OER overpotentials of 31 and 241 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Importantly, the CoNi-Ti3C2Tx electrocatalyst also exhibited high operational stability for both OER and HER over 100 h at an industrially relevant current density of 500 mA cm-2. Our study provided guidance for constructing dual-atom active metal sites on MXene substrates to synergistically enhance the electrochemical efficiency and stability of the energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
MXenes have shown great potential for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) due to the high metallic conductivity, tunable interlayer spacing and intercalation pseudocapacitance. In particular, the negative surface charge and high hydrophilicity of MXenes make them suitable for various solution processing strategies. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review of solution processing of MXene MSCs has not been conducted. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art of MXene MSCs in terms of ink rheology, microelectrode design and integrated system. The ink formulation and rheological behavior of MXenes for different solution processing strategies, which are essential for high quality printed/coated films, are presented. The effects of MXene and its compounds, 3D electrode structure, and asymmetric design on the electrochemical properties of MXene MSCs are discussed in detail. Equally important, we summarize the integrated system and intelligent applications of MXene MSCs and present the current challenges and prospects for the development of high-performance MXene MSCs.

Abstract
The assembly of MXene materials into microcapsules has drawn great attentions due to their unique properties. However, rational design and synthesis of MXene-based microcapsules with specific nanostructures at the molecular scale remains challenging. Herein, we report a strategy to synthesize N/P co-doped MXene hollow flower-like microcapsules with adjustable permeability via dual surfactants assisted hydrothermal-freeze drying method. In contrast to anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants exhibited effective electrostatic interactions with MXene nanosheets during the hydrothermal process. Manipulation of dual surfactants in hydrothermal process realized N and P co-doping of MXene to improve flexibility and promoted the generation of abundant internal cavities in flower-like microcapsules. Based on the unique microstructure, the prepared hollow flower-like microcapsules showed excellent performance, stability and reusability in size-selective release of small organic molecules. Moreover, the release rate can be controlled by turning the oxidation state and type of MXene. The strategy delineates promising prospects for the design of MXene-based microcapsules with specific structures.

Abstract
Insight into fundamental light-matter interaction as well as underlying photo-physical processes is crucial for the development of novel optoelectronic devices. Palladium diselenide (PdSe2 ), an important representative of emerging 2D noble metal dichalcogenides, has gain considerable attention owing to its unique optical, physical, and chemical properties. In this study, 2D PdSe2 nanosheets (NSs) are prepared using the liquid-phase exfoliation method. A broadband carrier relaxation dynamics from visible to near-infrared bands are revealed using a time-resolved transient absorption spectrometer, giving results that indicate band filling and bandgap renormalization (BGR) effects in the 2D PdSe2 NSs. The observed blue-shift of the transient absorption spectra at the primary stage and the subsequent red-shift can be ascribed to this BGR effect. These findings reveal the many-body character of the 2D TMDs material and may hold keys for applications in the field of optoelectronics and ultrafast photonics.

Abstract
Ever-growing demands for rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) call for efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts. Among various electrocatalysts, single atom catalysts (SACs) have received increasing attention due to the merits of high atom utilization, structural tunability, and remarkable activity. Rational design of bifunctional SACs relies heavily on an in-depth understanding of reaction mechanisms, especially dynamic evolution under electrochemical conditions. This requires a systematic study in dynamic mechanisms to replace current trial and error modes. Herein, fundamental understanding of dynamic oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction mechanisms for SACs is first presented combining in situ and/or operando characterizations and theoretical calculations. By highlighting structure-performance relationships, rational regulation strategies are particularly proposed to facilitate the design of efficient bifunctional SACs. Furthermore, future perspectives and challenges are discussed. This review provides a thorough understanding of dynamic mechanisms and regulation strategies for bifunctional SACs, which are expected to pave the avenue for exploring optimum single atom bifunctional oxygen catalysts and effective ZABs.

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.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of the influenza A virus (FluA) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can effectively control their spread. We developed a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-functional two-channel immunochromatographic assay (ICA) biosensor to simultaneously detect the above-mentioned viruses. A unique two-dimensional Ti3C2-QD immunoprobe was established by adsorbing dense quantum dots (QDs) onto the light green monostromatic Ti3C2 MXene surface, resulting in light green colorimetric and superior fluorescence signals and guaranteeing high sensitivity, stability, and excellent liquidity for ICA detection. Rapid visual screening for FluA and SARS-CoV-2 infections was applicable via a green colorimetric signal. Sensitive and quantitative detection of viruses in their early stages of infection was performed by using the fluorescence signal. Our proposed Ti3C2-QD-ICA biosensor can simultaneously detect 1 ng/mL or 2.4 pg/mL FluA and 1 ng/mL or 6.2 pg/mL SARS-CoV-2 via its colorimetric or fluorescence signals, respectively, with a short testing time (20 min), good reproducibility, specificity, and accuracy. In addition, this method demonstrated sensitivity higher than that of the conventional AuNP-based ICA method in throat swab samples. Hence, our proposed Ti3C2-QD-ICA method can be potentially applied for the rapid, ultrasensitive, and multiplex detection of respiratory viruses.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and/or nitrides, MXenes, are prepared by selective etching of the A-site atomically thin metal layers from their MAX phase precursors. High entropy MXenes, the most recent subfamily of MXenes, are in their infancy and have attracted great interest recently. They are currently synthesized mainly through wet chemical etching of Al-containing MAX phases, while various MAX phases with A-sites elements other than Al have not been explored. It is important to embody non-Al MAX phases as precursors for the high entropy MXenes synthesis to allow for new compositions. In this work, it is reported on the design and synthesis of Ga-containing medium/high entropy MAX phases and then their corresponding medium/high entropy MXenes. Gallium atomic layer etching is carried out using a Lewis acid molten salt (CuCl2). The as-prepared (Ti1/4 V1/4 Nb1/4 Ta1/4 )2 CTx exhibits a Li+ specific capacity of ≈400 mAh g-1 . For (Ti1/5 V1/5 Nb1/5 Ta1/5 Mo1/5 )2 CTx a specific capacity of 302 mAh g-1 is achieved after 300 cycles, and high cycling stability is observed at high current densities. This work is of great significance for expanding the family members of MXenes with tunable chemistries and structures.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to CO is a logical approach to achieve a carbon-neutral cycle. In this work, a series of Ti2CO2 and O vacancy containing Ti2CO2 MXene-based transition metal (TM) single atom catalysts (SACs), including TM-Ti2CO2 and TM-Ov-Ti2CO2, are explored for high-performance CO2RR. Sc/Ti/V/Cr-Ti2CO2 and Ni-Ov-Ti2CO2 are screened out with limiting potential (UL) more positive than -0.50 V. Ni-Ov-Ti2CO2 is a candidate catalyst for CO2RR to CO, considering its activity with UL of -0.27 eV, and the selectivity relevant to hydrogen evolution reaction and HCOOH production. Meanwhile, a novel activity descriptor of TM-Ti-O group valence state is proposed according to that TMs work in synergy with coordinated Ti and O atoms and a level of around 0.64 e- benefits to CO2RR. This work highlights oxygen vacancy containing Ti2CO2-based Ni SAC as a promising catalyst for CO2RR, and provides a feasible electronic structure design principle for guiding the design of MXene-based SACs for CO2RR.

Abstract
The performance of any engineering material is naturally limited by its structure, and while each material suffers from one or multiple shortcomings when considered for a particular application, these can be potentially circumvented by hybridization with other materials. By combining organic crystals with MXenes as thermal absorbers and charged polymers as adhesive counter-ionic components, we propose a simple access to flexible hybrid organic crystal materials that have the ability to mechanically respond to infrared light. The ensuing hybrid organic crystals are durable, respond fast, and can be cycled between straight and deformed state repeatedly without fatigue. The point of flexure and the curvature of the crystals can be precisely controlled by modulating the position, duration, and power of thermal excitation, and this control can be extended from individual hybrid crystals to motion of ordered two-dimensional arrays of such crystals. We also demonstrate that excitation can be achieved over very long distances (>3 m). The ability to control the shape with infrared light adds to the versatility in the anticipated applications of organic crystals, most immediately in their application as thermally controllable flexible optical waveguides for signal transmission in flexible organic electronics.

Abstract
Structural phase transitions in electrode materials of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) often occur along with Li-ion extraction/intercalation during charge and discharge processes. Lithiation-induced phase transition behaviors of two-dimensional fluorinated MXenes were investigated systematically by first-principles density functional calculations. The calculated results show that fluorine atoms in the nine MXenes studied moved from the FCC site (or HCP site for Ta2CF2) to the TOP site during Li adsorption. Further all the predicted phase transitions were confirmed by ab initio molecular dynamic simulations. The band structure, density of state, diffusion energy barrier, average voltage and storage capacity were calculated to evaluate the lithium storage properties of fluorinated MXenes, which revealed that V2CF2 and Ti2CF2 are the optimal candidates for LIB electrode materials. The structural phase transition led to improvements in the cycle stability, storage capacity, average voltage, and other lithium storage properties of the fluorinated MXenes.

Abstract
Nanozymes were emerged as the next generation of enzyme-mimics which exhibit great applications in various fields, but there is rarely report in the electrochemical detection of heavy metal ions. In this work, Ti3C2Tx MXene nanoribbons@gold (Ti3C2Tx MNR@Au) nanohybrid was prepared firstly via a simple self-reduction process and its nanozyme activity was studied. The results showed the peroxidase-like activity of bare Ti3C2Tx MNR@Au is extremely weak, while in the presence of Hg2+, the related nanozyme activity is stimulated and improved remarkably, which can easily catalyze oxidation of several colorless substrates (e.g., o-phenylenediamine) to form colored products. Interestingly, the product of o-phenylenediamine exhibits a strong reduction current which is considerably sensitive to the Hg2+ concentration. Based on this phenomenon, an innovative and highly sensitive homogeneous voltammetric (HVC) sensing strategy was then proposed to detect Hg2+ via transforming the colorimetric method into electrochemistry since it can exhibit several unique advantages (e.g., rapid responsiveness, high sensitivity and quantificational). Compared to the conventional electrochemical sensing methods for Hg2+, the designed HVC strategy can avoid the modification processes of electrode coupled with enhanced sensing performances. Therefore, we expect the as-proposed nanozyme-based HVC sensing strategy provides a new development direction for detecting Hg2+ and other heavy metals.

Abstract
The Internet of Things era has promoted enormous research on sensors, communications, data fusion, and actuators. Among them, sensors are a prerequisite for acquiring the environmental information for delivering to an artificial data center to make decisions. The MXene-based sensors have aroused tremendous interest because of their extraordinary performances. In this review, the electrical, electronic, and optical properties of MXenes are first introduced. Next, the MXene-based sensors are discussed according to the sensing mechanisms such as electronic, electrochemical, and optical methods. Initially, biosensors are introduced based on chemiresistors and field-effect transistors. Besides, the wearable pressure sensor is demonstrated with piezoresistive devices. Third, the electrochemical methods include amperometry and electrochemiluminescence as examples. In addition, the optical approaches refer to surface plasmonic resonance and fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Moreover, the prospects are delivered of multimodal data fusion toward complicated human-like senses. Eventually, future opportunities for MXene research are conveyed in the new material discovery, structure design, and proof-of-concept devices.

Abstract
The development of two-dimensional (2D) materials for biomedical applications has accelerated exponentially. Contrary to their bulk counterparts, the exceptional properties of 2D materials make them highly prospective for contrast agents for bioimage, drug, and heat delivery in biomedical treatment. Nevertheless, empty space in the integration and utilisation of 2D materials in living biological systems, potential toxicity, as well as required complicated synthesis and high-cost production limit the real application of 2D materials in those advance medical treatments. On the other hand, green technology appears to be one of strategy to shed a light on the blurred employment of 2D in medical applications, thus, with the increasing reports of green technology that promote advanced technologies, here, we compile, summarise, and synthesise information on the biomedical technology of 2D materials through green technology point of view. Beginning with a fundamental understanding, of crystal structures, the working mechanism, and novel properties, this article examines the recent development of 2D materials. As well as 2D materials made from natural and biogenic resources, a recent development in green-related synthesis was also discussed. The biotechnology and biomedical-related application constraints are also discussed. The challenges, solutions, and prospects of the so-called green 2D materials are outlined.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) stand out among many monovalent/multivalent metal-ion batteries as promising new energy storage devices because of their good safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, there are still many great challenges to exploring new-type cathode materials that are suitable for Zn2+ intercalation. Vanadium-based compounds with various structures, large layer spacing, and different oxidation states are considered suitable cathode candidates for AZIBs. Herein, the research advances in vanadium-based compounds in recent years are systematically reviewed. The preparation methods, crystal structures, electrochemical performances, and energy storage mechanisms of vanadium-based compounds (e.g., vanadium phosphates, vanadium oxides, vanadates, vanadium sulfides, and vanadium nitrides) are mainly introduced. Finally, the limitations and development prospects of vanadium-based compounds are pointed out. Vanadium-based compounds as cathode materials for AZIBs are hoped to flourish in the coming years and attract more and more researchers' attention.

Abstract
Along with Li-ion extraction/intercalation during charge and discharge processes, structural phase transitions often occur in the electrode materials of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). By determining atomic positions before and after Li adsorptions, structural phase transitions of two-dimensional MXenes were investigated systematically using first-principles density functional calculations. The lithiation-induced phase transitions of ten M2C MXenes with oxygen groups can be divided into three types. No phase transitions occur for Ti-type MXenes including Ti2CO2, Zr2CO2 and Hf2CO2. The oxygens in Ta-type MXenes (Sc2CO2, Y2CO2, Nb2CO2 and Ta2CO2) move from one type of octahedral void to another type of octahedral void. However, for Mo-type MXenes including V2CO2, Cr2CO2 and Mo2CO2, the oxygens move from octahedral voids to tetrahedral voids. The mechanisms whether phase transitions happen or not are dependent on the sizes of M ions. Furthermore, all the predicted phase transitions were confirmed by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated results of electron localization functions and Bader charge illustrate that there exist strong Coulomb interactions (ionic bonds) between Li and MXene surfaces. The band structure, diffusion energy barrier, open circuit voltage and storage capacity were calculated to evaluate the lithium storage properties of different MXenes, which reveals that V2CO2 and Cr2CO2 should be optimal candidates as electrode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
Recently, Fenton-like systems have been widely explored and applied for the removal of organic matter from wastewater. Two-dimensional (2D) MXene-based materials exhibit excellent adsorption and catalysis capacity for organic pollutants removal, which has been reported widely. However, there is no summary on the application of MXene-based materials in Fenton-like systems for organic matter removal. In this review, four types of MXene-based materials were introduced, including 2D MXene, MXene/Metal complex, MXene/Metal oxide complex, and MXene/3D carbon material complex. In addition, the Fenton-like system usually consists of adsorption and degradation processes. The oxidation process might contain hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or persulfate (PS) oxidants. This review summarizes the performance and mechanisms of organic pollutants adsorption and oxidants activation by MXene-based materials systematically. Finally, the existing problems and future research directions of MXene-based materials are proposed in Fenton-like wastewater treatment systems.

Abstract
The titanium carbide MXenes currently attract an extreme amount of interest from the material science community due to their promising functional properties arising from the two-dimensionality of these layered structures. In particular, the interaction between MXene and gaseous molecules, even at the physisorption level, yields a substantial shift in electrical parameters, which makes it possible to design gas sensors working at RT as a prerequisite to low-powered detection units. Herein, we consider to review such sensors, primarily based on Ti3C2Tx and Ti2CTx crystals as the most studied ones to date, delivering a chemiresistive type of signal. We analyze the ways reported in the literature to modify these 2D nanomaterials for (i) detecting various analyte gases, (ii) improving stability and sensitivity, (iii) reducing response/recovery times, and (iv) advancing a sensitivity to atmospheric humidity. The most powerful approach based on designing hetero-layers of MXenes with other crystals is discussed with regard to employing semiconductor metal oxides and chalcogenides, noble metal nanoparticles, carbon materials (graphene and nanotubes), and polymeric components. The current concepts on the detection mechanisms of MXenes and their hetero-composites are considered, and the background reasons for improving gas-sensing functionality in the hetero-composite when compared with pristine MXenes are classified. We formulate state-of-the-art advances and challenges in the field while proposing some possible solutions, in particular via employing a multisensor array paradigm.

Abstract
2D carbides and nitrides of transition metals (MXenes) have shown great promise in a variety of energy storage and energy conversion applications. The extraordinary properties of MXenes are because of their excellent conductivity, large carrier concentration, vast specific surface area, superior hydrophilicity, high volumetric capacitance, and rich surface chemistry. However, it is still desired to synthesize MXenes with specific functional groups that deliver the required characteristics. This is due to the fact that a considerable amount of metal atoms is exposed on the surface of MXenes during their synthesis through an etching procedure; hence, other anions and cations are uncontrollably implanted on their surfaces. Because of this situation, the first invented Ti3C2Tx MXene suffers from low photoresponsivity and detectivity, large overpotential, and small sensitivity in photoelectrochemical (PEC) photodetectors, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and sensing applications. Therefore, surface modification of the MXene structure is required to develop the device's performance. On the other hand, there is still a lack of understanding of the MXene mechanism in such cutting-edge applications. Thus, the manipulations of MXenes are highly dependent on understanding the device mechanism, suitable modification elements, and modification methods. This study for the first time reveals the conjugation effect of pre-selected S, Se, and Te chalcogen elements on a few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene to synthesize new composites for PEC photodetector, HER, and vapor sensor applications. Also, the mechanism of the chalcogen decorated few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene composites for each application is discussed. The selection of a few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene is due to its fascinating characteristics which make it capable to be considered as an appropriate substrate and incorporating chalcogen atoms. The Te-decorated few-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene composite provides better performances in PEC photodetector and vapor sensing applications. Although the potential value of the Se-decorated few-layered Ti3C2Tx composite is slightly lower than that of the Te-decorated sample in HER application, its overpotential is still greater than that of the Te-decorated sample. The acquired results show that the S-decorated few-layered Ti3C2Tx composite demonstrates the lowest performance in all three examined applications in comparison with the other two samples.

Abstract
Engineered MXene surfaces with more -O functional groups are feasible for realizing higher energy density due to their higher theoretical capacitance. However, there have been only a few explorations of this regulation mechanism. Investigating the formation source and mechanism is conducive to expanding the adjustment method from the top-down perspective. Herein, for the first time, the formation dynamics of -O functional groups on Mo2CTx are discovered as a two-step dehydrogenation of adsorbed water through in situ near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, further confirmed by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. From this, the controllable substitution of -F functional groups with -O functional groups is achieved on Mo2CTx during electrochemical cycling in an aqueous electrolyte. The obtained Mo2CTx with rich -O groups exhibits a high capacitance of 163.2 F g -1 at 50 mV s -1, together with excellent stability. These results offer new insights toward engineering surface functional groups of MXenes for many specific applications.

Abstract
Flexible pressure sensors are one of the most important components in the fields of electronic skin (e-skin), robotics, and health monitoring. However, the application of pressure sensors in practice is still difficult and expensive due to the limited sensing properties and complex manufacturing process. The emergence of MXene, a red-hot member of the 2D nanomaterials, has brought a brand-new breakthrough for pressure sensing. Ti3 C2 Tx is the most popular studied MXene in the field of pressure sensing and shows good mechanical, electrical properties, excellent hydrophilicity, and extensive modifiability. It will ameliorate the properties of the sensitive layer and electrode layer of the pressure sensor, and further apply pressure sensing to many fields, such as e-skin flexibility. Herein, the preparation technologies, antioxidant methods, and properties of MXene are summarized. The design of MXene-based microstructures is introduced, including hydrogels, aerogels, foam, fabrics, and composite nanofibers. The mechanisms of MXene pressure sensors are further broached, including piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, triboelectric, and potentiometric transduction mechanism. Moreover, the integration of multiple devices is reviewed. Finally, the chance and challenge of pressure sensors improved by MXene smart materials in future e-skin and the Internet of Things are prospected.

Furthermore, representative electrocatalytic applications of structured MXenes in energy conversion systems are also summarized. Finally, the challenges in and prospects for constructing MXene-based electrocatalytic materials are also discussed. This review provides a leading-edge understanding of the engineering of various MXene-based electrocatalysts and offers theoretical and experimental guidance for prospective studies, thereby promoting the practical applications of tunable structured MXenes in electrocatalytic energy conversion systems.

Abstract
Abstract: A mixed-dimensional V2CTx/Ti3C2Tx composite interlayer was successfully prepared to tackle severe polysulfide (LiPS) shuttling and sluggish sulfur redox kinetics for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries. In the unique nanoarchitecture, two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx nanosheets served as a stable skeleton with superb electronic conductivity, good mechanical strength, and high polysulfide adsorption, whereas one-dimensional V2CTx nanorods played a crucial role in chemisorbing LiPSs and catalyzing the conversion of LiPSs due to their high polarity and electrocatalysis. With the synergistic effect of V2CTx and Ti3C2Tx composite nanostructures, the cells with the mixed-dimensional V2CTx/Ti3C2Tx composite interlayer showed an impressive long-term cycling stability and small capacity decay rate of 0.062% per cycle over 600 cycles at 1 C and exhibited an outstanding rate capability of 935.3 mAh·g−1 at 2 C.

Abstract
To activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is an efficient way for decomposition of non-biodegradable organic pollutants. Herein, Mg-Fe layered double oxides decorated with Ti3C2 MXene-derived TiO2@C (T/LDOs) were fabricated to efficiently activate PMS for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), acid red 1 (AR1), methylene blue (MB), and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The T/LDOs catalyst could decompose 95.8% of RhB, 94.8% of AR1, 84.9% of MB within 10 min, and 82.4% of TC within 60 min. The degradation rate constant of RhB in the optimal T/LDOs/PMS system was approximately 2.5 and 15.7 times higher than that in the Mg-Fe LDOs/PMS system and Mg-Fe LDH/PMS system, respectively. Importantly, the T/LDOs exhibited a wide working pH range (3.1-11.0) and high stability with low metal ions leaching, indicating its potential practical applications. Quenching experiments and electronic spin resonance results confirmed that both •O2- and 1O2 were the dominant active species in the T/LDOs/PMS system. In addition, the possible degradation pathway of RhB in the 5%-T/LDOs/PMS system was proposed. Finally, the catalytic mechanism study revealed that the T/LDOs with abundant surface hydroxyl groups and a certain amount of TiO2@C facilitated the electron transfer between ≡Fe(Ⅲ)‒OH complex and HSO5-, boosting the generation of •O2- and 1O2. This study provides an insight into exploiting highly efficient catalysts for PMS activation towards the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials have unique properties and their better functionality has created new paradigms in the field of sensing. Over the past decade, a new family of 2D materials known as MXenes has emerged as a promising material for numerous applications, including biosensing. Their metallic conductivity, rich surface chemistry, hydrophilicity, good biocompatibility, and high anchoring capacity for biomaterials make them an attractive candidate to detect a variety of analytes. Despite such notable properties, there are certain limitations associated with them. This review aims to present a detailed survey of MXene's synthesis; in particular, their superiority in the field of biosensing as compared to other 2D materials is addressed. Their low oxidative stability is still an open challenge, and recent investigations on MXene's oxidation are summarized. The hexagonal stacking network of MXenes acts as a distinctive matrix to load nanoparticles, and the embedded nanoparticles can bind an excess number of biomolecules (e.g., antibodies) thereby improving biosensor performance. We will also discuss the synthesis and corresponding performance of MXenes nanocomposites with noble metal nanoparticles and magnetic nanoparticles. Furthermore, Nb and Ti2C-based MXenes, and Ti3C2-MXene sandwich immunoassays are also reviewed in view of their importance. Different aspects and challenges associated with MXenes (from their synthesis to final applications) and the future perspectives described give new directions to fabricate novel biosensors.

Abstract
Nanomaterials' unique structures at the nanometer level determine their incredible functions, and based on this, they can be widely used in the field of nanomedicine. However, nanomaterials do possess disadvantages that cannot be ignored, such as burst release, rapid elimination, and poor bioadhesion. Hydrogels are scaffolds with three‐dimensional structures, and they exhibit good biocompatibility and drug release capacity. Hydrogels are also associated with disadvantages for biomedical applications such as poor anti‐tumor capability, weak bioimaging capability, limited responsiveness, and so on. Incorporating nanomaterials into the 3D hydrogel network through physical or chemical covalent action may be an effective method to avoid their disadvantages. In nanocomposite hydrogel systems, multifunctional nanomaterials often work as the function core, giving the hydrogels a variety of properties (such as photo‐thermal conversion, magnetothermal conversion, conductivity, targeting tumor, etc.). While, hydrogels can effectively improve the retention effect of nanomaterials and make the nanoparticles have good plasticity to adapt to various biomedical applications (such as various biosensors). Nanocomposite hydrogel systems have broad application prospects in biomedicine. In this review, we comprehensively summarize and discuss the most recent advances of nanomaterials composite hydrogels in biomedicine, including drug and cell delivery, cancer treatment, tissue regeneration, biosensing, and bioimaging, and we also briefly discussed the current situation of their commoditization in biomedicine.

Abstract
With a decade of effort, significant progress has been achieved in the synthesis, processing, and applications of MXenes. Metal ions play many crucial roles, such as in MXene delamination, structure regulation, surface modification, MXene composite construction, and even some unique applications. The different roles of metal ions are attributed to their many interactions with MXenes and the unique nature of MXenes, including their layered structure, surface chemistry, and the existence of multi-valent transition metals. Interactions with metal ions are crucial for the energy storage of MXene electrodes, especially in metal ion batteries and supercapacitors with neutral electrolytes. This review aims to provide a good understanding of the interactions between metal ions and MXenes, including the classification and fundamental chemistry of their interactions, in order to achieve their more effective utilization and rational design. It also provides new perspectives on MXene evolution and exfoliation, which may suggest optimized synthesis strategies. In this respect, the different effects of metal ions on MXene synthesis and processing are clarified, and the corresponding mechanisms are elaborated. Research progress on the roles metal ions have in MXene applications is also introduced.

Abstract
As an emerging star of 2D nanomaterials, 2D transition metal carbides and nitrides, named MXenes, present a large potential in various research areas owing to their intrinsic multilayer structure and intriguing physico-chemical properties. However, the fabrication and application of functional MXene-based devices still remain challenging as they are prone to oxidative degradation under ambient environment. Within this review, the preparation methods of MXenes focusing on the recent investigations on their thermal structure-stability relationships in inert, oxidizing, and aqueous environments are systematically introduced. Moreover, the key factors that affect the oxidation of MXenes, such as, atmosphere, temperature, composition, microstructure, and aqueous environment, are reviewed. Based on different scenarios, strategies for avoiding or delaying the oxidation of MXenes are proposed to encourage the utilization of MXenes in complicated environments, especially at high temperature. Furthermore, the chemistry of MXene-derived oxides is analyzed, which can offer perspectives on the further design and fabrication of novel 2D composites with the unique structures of MXenes being preserved.

Abstract
The lack of suitable cathode materials with a high capacity and good stability is a crucial problem affecting the development of aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Herein, a novel strategy for the modification of V2CTx through molten salt thermal treatment is proposed. In the novel route, S heteroatoms were introduced into V2CTx through a substitution reaction during the dissolution of Li2S in LiCl-KCl molten salts. Then, surface V2O5 was obtained through the in situ electrochemical charging/discharging of the S-doped V2CTx (MS-S-V2CTx) cathode. The assembled Zn/MS-S-V2CTx battery showed a high reversible discharge capacity of 411.3 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1, an 80% capacitance retention after long cycle stability tests at 10 A g-1 for 3000 cycles, and a high energy density of 375.5 Wh kg-1 in 2M ZnSO4. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the improved electrochemical performance of the cathode can be attributed to the introduced S heteroatoms, which considerably reduced the ion diffusion energy barrier for Zn2+ ions and improved the stability of V2O5. This work provides a novel method to produce highly active and stable vanadium-based cathodes for aqueous Zn-ion batteries.

Abstract
The present electrochemical stripping analysis (ESA) for multiple heavy metal ions (HMI) generally requires an electrodeposition process at a very low potential below -1.0 V, which inevitably makes the sensing procedures more complex, inefficient and power-wasting. Meanwhile, the emerging MXenes rising-star materials have been studied in various fields recently. While there are only few reports focusing on the heteroatom doping of MXenes, especially no doping-MXenes for electroanalysis. Based on these issues, a novel multifunctional heteroatoms-doped MXenes nanomaterial, N and P co-doped Ti3C2Tx MXenes nanoribbons (N,P-Ti3C2TxR), was prepared herein for the first time, and then N,P-Ti3C2TxR was used as electrode material to propose an electrodeposition-free ESA strategy for multiple HMI (Cu2+, Hg2+). Owing to the unique spontaneous adsorption and reducing capacities of N,P-Ti3C2TxR towards Cu2+ and Hg2+ coupled with the excellent sensing performances, Cu2+ and Hg2+ can undergo self-reduction to be preconcentrated on N,P-Ti3C2TxR surface with the form of Cu0 and Hg0, thus a simple and ultrasensitive electrodeposition-free ESA platform was developed successfully for the simultaneous detection of Cu2+and Hg2+. This work opened a new pathway for the detection for multiple HMI and the preparation/application of heteroatoms doping MXenes.

Abstract
Despite the emerging interest in research and development of Ti3CN MXene nanosheet (NS)-based optoelectronic devices, there is still a lack of in-depth studies of the underlying photophysical processes, like carrier relaxation dynamics and nonlinear photon absorption, operating in such devices, hindering their further and precise design. In this paper, we attempt to remedy the situation by fabricating few-layer Ti3CN NSs via combining selective etching and molecular intercalation and by investigating the carrier relaxation possesses and broadband nonlinear optical responses via transient absorption and Z-scan techniques. These results are complemented by first-principle theoretical analyses of the optical properties. Both saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption phenomena are observed due to multiphoton absorption effects. The analysis of these results adds to the understanding of the basic photophysical processes, which is anticipated to be beneficial for the further design of MXene-based devices.

Abstract
Endogenous heterojunction of 2D MXenes with unique structure shows inspiring potential in energy applications, which is impeded by complex synthesis method and finite MAX materials. Herein, an in situ hydrothermal strategy is implemented to successfully synthesize unique endogenous hetero-MXenes of amorphous MoS2 coupling with fluoride-free Mo2 CTx (hetero-Mo2 C) directly from Mo2 Ga2 C MAX. The distinctive morphology and heterojunction structure caused by the introduction of MoS2 endow the hetero-MXenes with extraordinary structural stability and optimized Li+ storage mechanism with improved charge transport and lithium ion adsorption capabilities. As a result, hetero-Mo2 C exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with a high discharge specific capacity of 1242 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and long cycle stability of 683.9 mAh g-1 after 1200 cycling. This work provides new insights into rational design of novel MXenes heterojunctions, practically important for the development of MXenes and their applications in high-performance energy storage systems.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is closely associated with the high risk of evolving into human hepatitis diseases including chronic hepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, as well as hepatoma. Although various methods have been developed for HBV DNA detection, most of them either rely on expensive instruments or laborious procedures involving professional personnel. In this study, we for the first time established the CRISPR-Cas12a based colorimetric biosensor for target HBV detection by utilizing probe DNA regulation of the catalytic behaviors of Mxene-probe DNA-Ag/Pt nanohybrids. In the presence of HBV target, the Cas12a trans-cleavage activity could be efficiently activated to degrade the DNA probes, which led to the inhibition of DNA metallization and enzyme activity enhancer DNA adsorbed on Mxene, resulting in significantly reduced catalytic activity. The Mxene-probe DNA-Ag/Pt nanohybrids exhibited excellent sensitivity and specificity with subpicomolar detection limits, as well as good accuracy and stability for the determination of target HBV DNA in human serum samples. Moreover, this colorimetric sensing strategy could be integrated with the smartphone platform to allow the visible sensitive detection of target DNA. Taken together, the proposed colorimetric method provides a novel approach for HBV DNA diagnosis, especially suitable for the high endemic, developing countries with limited instrumental and medical supports.
