Two-dimensional MXene-based and MXene-derived photocatalysts: Recent developments and perspectives

Zhong, Qian, Li, Yuan, Zhang, Gaoke·2021·Chemical Engineering Journal

Abstract

Abstract Since their discovery in 2011, 2D MXenes have gained tremendous traction for their flexible elemental composition, unique 2D-layered structure, large surface area, abundant surface terminations, and excellent photoelectronic properties. In particular, the latest advances demonstrate that MXene-based and MXene-derived photocatalysts are the most advantageous and novel materials in the photocatalytic field. In this review, we summarize recent studies on the preparation of MXene-based and MXene-derived photocatalysts, including mechanical/ultrasonic mixing, electrostatic self-assembly, hydrothermal/solvothermal preparations, and calcination approaches. In addition, we present a comprehensive review of the environmental and energy applications of MXene-based and MXene-derived photocatalysts, including organic pollutant degradation, water splitting for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, nitrogen fixation, H2O2 production, antibacterial application, desulfurization and denitrogenation of fuels. The roles of MXene as a co-catalyst or precursor in photocatalytic applications are addressed herein. Finally, the lingering challenges and perspectives on the study of MXenes in the future are presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
