An ultraefficient surface functionalized Ti₃C₂T_x MXene piezocatalyst: synchronous hydrogen evolution and wastewater treatment

Abstract

The Ti3C2Tx surface contains hydroxyl groups that can be modified through self-assembled monolayers by using (3-chloropropyl) trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) and fluoroalkylsilane (FOTS). This study demonstrates that an ultrahigh level of piezoelectricity...

An all-in-one aPAN/MXene@Ag–Ag2S nanofibrous aerogel for efficient oil/water separation, solar interfacial evaporation and photocatalytic degradation of high-concentration dyes

“…Photocatalytic degradation is a straightforward, eco-friendly, and promising technology for removing organic pollutants from wastewater under sunlight irradiation, 6–8 which converts green solar energy into chemical energy without an external power source and has the potential for achieving continuous operation. 9,10 In recent decades, numerous photocatalysts such as metal oxides, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), graphene-based materials, MXene, etc.…”
