Retracted: Emerging 2D MXene/Organic Heterostructures for Future Nanodevices

Abstract

MXenes are a rapidly growing family of 2D materials. Their unique combination of metallic conductivity, hydrophilicity, and highly charged surfaces endow them with excellent electrochemical performance. Appropriate surface functional groups determine their semiconducting properties. The wide selection of various MXene structures and surface functional groups enable tunable work functions and bandgaps, making them prime candidates for many optoelectronic applications. In addition, the discovery of 2D organic semiconductors having single molecular thickness has also greatly attracted research attention due to their optical, electronic, optoelectronic, and mechatronic properties. Moreover, the formation of MXenes/organic 2D heterostructures enables many interesting phenomena in the 2D quantum limit to be observed. This review aims to increase motivation toward the investigation of newly emerging MXenes, 2D organic materials, and their combinational heterostructures. It overviews recent progress in the fundamental investigations of the optical, electronic, and optoelectronic properties in isolated 2D MXenes and organic materials; then, highlights the major importance of 2D MXene/organic heterostructures for applications in exciton-polariton lasers, light emitting devices, wearable electronics, and spintronic devices. The review aims outlines a future roadmap for 2D MXenes, organic materials, and their heterostructures for advanced nanotechnology applications.

Emergence of MXene–Polymer Hybrid Nanocomposites as High‐Performance Next‐Generation Chemiresistors for Efficient Air Quality Monitoring

“…Other reports focused on M 3 X 2 T x –MXene hybrids with other materials, including graphene‐based materials, metal oxides, and metal dichalcogenides for VOCs monitoring, have also been published. [ 53,184,185 ] However, the drawbacks associated with them have already been discussed in Section 2. The comparison among pristine MXenes, pristine polymers, MXP HNCs, and other hybrids of MXene and polymers‐based VOC monitoring performance has been made in Table 4 .…”

Recent Research Progress in the Structure, Fabrication, and Application of MXene-Based Heterostructures

“…The various synthesis approaches of 2D heterostructures directly affect their physical and chemical properties, thus affecting their application fields [ 65 ]. Generally, the deterministic transfer method and CVD epitaxial growth method are most often used to construct 2D heterostructures [ 66 ]. PDMS, PPC, and PMMA are commonly used in deterministic transfer methods.…”

“…Recently, a large family of 2D transition-metal carbides and nitrides named as MXene have emerged and received widespread attention owing to their hydrophilic surface functionalities (-OH, -O, and/or -F groups), high metallic conductivity (Ti 3 C 2 T x , ≈9880 S cm -1 ), easily tunable structure, and satisfactory thermal stability. [24][25][26] MXene has become the most potentially conductive material to anchor various active materials. First, the tunability of MXene composition is conducive to the modulation of electronic structure.…”
