Phoxim, extensively utilized in agriculture as an organothiophosphate insecticide, has the potential to cause neurotoxicity and pose human health hazards. In this study, an electrochemical enzyme biosensor based on TiC MXene/MoS@AuNPs/AChE was constructed for the sensitive detection of phoxim. The two-dimensional multilayer structure of TiC MXene provides a robust framework for MoS, leading to an expansion of the specific surface area and effectively preventing re-stacking of TiC MXene. Additionally, the synergistic effect of self-reduced grown AuNPs with MoS further improves the electrical conductivity of the composites, while the robust framework provides a favorable microenvironment for immobilization of enzyme molecules. TiC MXene/MoS@AuNPs electrochemical enzyme sensor showed a significant response to phoxim in the range of 1 × 10 M to 1 × 10 M with a detection limit of 5.29 × 10 M. Moreover, the sensor demonstrated excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, thereby showing its promising potential for real sample detection.

Efficient activation of peroxymonosulfate by MoTiCT@Co for sustained emerging micropollutant removal: Mo vacancy-mediated activation in Fenton-like reactions.

J Colloid Interface Sci

December 2024

Guangdong Key Laboratory of Environmental Catalysis and Health Risk Control, School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Institute of Environmental Health and Pollution Control, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou 510006, China.

Developing advanced heterogeneous catalysts through structural modifications effectively enhances the catalytic activity of non-homogeneous catalysts for removing emerging micropollutants (EMPs). In this study, MoTiCT@Co with Mo vacancies was synthesized using the Lewis molten salt method, which efficiently activates peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and continuously degrades EMPs in water. The abundant Mo vacancy structure in the material acts as an anchoring site for Co nanoparticles and a co-catalytic site for Fenton-like reactions, enabling PMS adsorption and activation.

Construction of MoTiCT MXene as a Superior Carrier to Support Ru-CuO Heterojunctions for Improving Alkaline Hydrogen Oxidation.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

December 2024

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Yan'an University, Yan'an, Shaanxi 716000, People Republic of China.

The sluggish anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) of the hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) is a significant barrier for practical implementation. Herein, we designed a catalyst of MoTiCT MXene-supported Ru-CuO heterojunctions (named as Ru-CuO/MXene). The XPS spectra and the d-band center data of the different amounts of Cu of the Ru-CuO/MXene suggested that there existed a strongly electronic metal-support interaction between the active species and the substrate with MXene as the excellent carrier.

Article Synopsis
  • - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections are difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance and the senescence of immune cells, which supports biofilm formation.
  • - Researchers have developed Ti₃C₂ MXene-PVA nanosheets loaded with metformin (Met@TiC) that use near-infrared light for photothermal effects, directly killing biofilms and enhancing immune response through the rejuvenation of senescent macrophages.
  • - The effectiveness of the Met@TiC nanoplatform has been validated through lab tests and in a mouse model of MRSA biofilm infection, showing promise as a new treatment strategy for combating these infections.

MAX phases represent a crucial building block for the synthesis of MXenes, which constitute an intriguing class of materials with significant application potential. This study investigates the catalytic properties of the MoTiAlC MAX phase and the corresponding MoTiCT MXene for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that despite the presence of secondary phases, the HER catalytic activity is primarily influenced by the MAX phase and its derived MXene.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional methods of preparing MXenes, like HF-based or high-temperature etching, are inefficient and not scalable, limiting their commercial use.
  • A new ultrafast low-temperature molten salt (LTMS) etching method enables the quick synthesis of various MXenes, including TiCT, in just 5 minutes using NHHF as an etchant.
  • The LTMS method is scalable, producing over 100 g of TiCT in one reaction, and results in MXenes with excellent performance for supercapacitors, proving it effective for large-scale production.
