Strategic design and fabrication of MXenes-Ti3CNCl2@CoS2 core-shell nanostructure for high-efficiency hydrogen evolution

Emerging carbon-based quantum dots for sustainable photocatalysis

“…3e). [45][46][47][48][49] Since the MAX and MXene phases have hexagonal symmetry structures, the derived MQD systems form hexagonal lattices with the same symmetry. [50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Zeng et al established a hexagonal cluster MQD model for DFT calculations, in which the size of the model was on the brink of the experimental size; this proved the reliability of the calculation results.…”

“…110,111 Disabled as the main catalyst. 97 GDQDs -COOH, -NH 2 Strong stability, 58 uniform distribution of pores, flexible electronic characteristics and smaller atomic density, 47 hydrophobicity. 112 Band gap is too narrow, the photogenerated charge carriers are easy to compound.…”

MXene in core–shell structures: research progress and future prospects

“…186 Additionally, Cl-terminated MXenes prepared by the molten inorganic salt method involve a low risk from the use of hydrofluoric acid. 187 For instance, Jiang et al 188 coupled CoS 2 with a Cl-terminated MXene as an electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction. The chemical bonding caused by interface-charge transfer formed between the Ti 3 CNCl 2 core and CoS 2 shell inherited the rapid charge transfer of the highly conductive Ti 3 CNCl 2 and good catalytic activity of CoS 2 .…”

FeNi LDH/V2CTx/NF as Self-Supported Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Highly Effective Overall Water Splitting

“…As two-dimensional materials with a large specific surface area and high electrical conductivity [ 30 ], MXene has been extensively used in electrocatalyst applications in recent year [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. In the MXene family, V 2 CT x has various oxidation states of vanadium ion, so that the V surface layer may produce pseudocapacitive behavior [ 35 ], thus promoting the charge transfer between adsorbent and V 2 CT x carrier.…”
