UNIST and Korea University Research Teams Discover Photosensitive Ion Channels in Layered MXene Membranes

UNIST and Korean University Research Teams, led by Prof. Sang Kyu Kwak and Hyunhyub Ko discover "Photosensitive Ion Channels in Layered MXene Membranes Modified with Plasmonic Gold Nanostars and Cellulose Nanofibers". The study published by Nature Communications on 23 January 2023, and the abstract of study is: Ion channels transduce external stimuli into ion-transport-mediated signaling, which has received considerable attention in diverse fields such as sensors, energy harvesting devices, and desalination membrane. In this work, we present a photosensitive ion channel based on plasmonic gold nanostars AuNSs and CNFs embedded in layered MXene nanosheets. The MAC membrane provides subnanometer-sized ionic pathways for light-sensitive cationic flow. When the MAC nanochannel is exposed to NIR light, a photothermal gradient is formed, which induces directional photothermo-osmotic flow of nanoconfined electrolyte against the thermal gradient and produces a net ionic current. MAC membrane exhibits enhanced photothermal current compared with pristine MXene, which is attributed to the combined photothermal effects of plasmonic AuNSs and MXene and the widened interspacing of the MAC composite via the hydrophilic nanofibrils. The MAC composite membranes are envisioned to be applied in flexible ionic channels with ionogels and light-controlled ionic circuits.

MXene is a class of two-dimensional (2D) materials that were first discovered in 2011. MXene materials are derived from layered transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides, known as MAX phases. The term "MAX" refers to the combination of M (transition metal), A (group 13 or 14 element), and X (carbon and/or nitrogen). 2D layered materials derived from MAX or non-MAX phases were not predicted to exist before this discovery. Unlike most 2D ceramics, MXenes have inherently good conductivity and excellent volumetric capacitance because they are molecular sheets made from the carbides and nitrides of transition metals like titanium. MXenes have already found applications ranging from energy storage to medicine and optoelectronics.

There are numerous types of MXene materials that have been synthesized so far, each with its own composition and properties. Some commonly studied MXenes include:

Titanium Carbide (Ti3C2Tx): Ti3C2Tx is one of the most extensively studied MXenes. It is derived from the selective etching of aluminum from titanium aluminum carbide (Ti3AlC2). It has good electrical conductivity and shows promise in energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and batteries.

Titanium Nitride (Ti2NTx): Ti2NTx is another member of the MXene family obtained by selectively etching aluminum from titanium aluminum nitride (Ti2AlN). It exhibits excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, and can be used in electromagnetic interference shielding and reinforcement of composites.

Vanadium Carbide (V2CTx): V2CTx is derived from vanadium aluminum carbide (V2AlC) by the removal of aluminum. It possesses high electrical conductivity and has shown potential in energy storage and electrocatalysis applications.

Molybdenum Carbide (Mo2CTx): Mo2CTx is synthesized by the selective etching of aluminum from molybdenum aluminum carbide (Mo2AlC). It exhibits excellent electrochemical performance and is being explored for applications in supercapacitors and catalysts.

These are just a few examples of MXene materials. MXene Material refers to dozens of types.

A new world of 2D material is opening up - Technology Org

A new world of 2D material is opening up - Technology Org

Materials that are incredibly thin, only a few atoms thick, exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. Researchers at Linköping University have now developed a method that enables the synthesis of hundreds of new 2D materials. Their study has been published in the journal Science.

Since the discovery of graphene, the field of research in extremely thin materials, so-called 2D materials, has increased exponentially. The reason is that 2D materials have a large surface area in relation to their volume or weight. This gives rise to a range of physical phenomena and distinctive properties, such as good conductivity, high strength or heat resistance, making 2D materials of interest both within fundamental research and applications.

“In a film that’s only a millimetre thin, there can be millions of layers of the material. Between the layers there can be a lot of chemical reactions and thanks to this, 2D materials can be used for energy storage or for generating fuels, for example,” says Johanna Rosén, professor in Materials physics at Linköping University.

Three-step process

The largest family of 2D materials is called MXenes. MXenes are created from a three-dimensional parent material called a MAX phase. It consists of three different elements: M is a transition metal, A is an (A-group) element, and X is carbon or nitrogen. By removing the A element with acids (exfoliation), a two-dimensional material is created. Until now, MXenes has been the only material family created in this way.

The Linköping researchers have introduced a theoretical method for predicting other three-dimensional materials that may be suitable for conversion into 2D materials. They have also proved that the theoretical model is consistent with reality.

To succeed, the researchers used a three-step process. In the first step, they developed a theoretical model to predict which parent materials would be suitable. Using large-scale calculations at the National Supercomputer Centre, the researchers were able to identify 119 promising 3D materials from a database and a selection consisting of 66,643 materials.

From theory to lab

The next step was to try to create the material in the lab.

“Out of 119 possible materials, we studied which ones had the chemical stability required and which materials were the best candidates. First, we had to synthesise the 3D material, which was a challenge in itself. Finally, we had a high-quality sample where we could exfoliate and etch away a specific atom layers using hydrofluoric acid,” says Jie Zhou, assistant professor at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

The researchers removed yttrium (Y) from the parent material YRu2Si2, which resulted in the formation of two-dimensional Ru2SixOy.

But to confirm success in the lab, verification is necessary – step three. The researchers used the scanning transmission electron microscope Arwen at Linköping University. It can examine materials and their structures down at the atomic level. In Arwen it is also possible to investigate which atoms a material is made up of using spectroscopy.

“We were able to confirm that our theoretical model worked well, and that the resulting material consisted of the correct atoms. After exfoliation, images of the material resembled the pages of a book. It’s amazing that the theory could be put into practice, thereby expanding the concept of chemical exfoliation to more materials families than MXenes,” says Jonas Björk, associate professor at the division of Materials design.

Endless applications

The researchers’ discovery means that many more 2D materials with unique properties are within reach. These, in turn, can lay the foundation for a plethora of technological applications. The next step for the researchers is to explore more potential precursor materials and scale up the experiments. Johanna Rosén believes that future applications are almost endless.

“In general, 2D materials have shown great potential for an enormous number of applications. You can imagine capturing carbon dioxide or purifying water, for example. Now it’s about scaling up the synthesis and doing it in a sustainable way,” says Johanna Rosén.

The study was funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), the Göran Gustafsson Foundation for Research in Natural Sciences and Medicine, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, the European Union, the Swedish Research Council and the Swedish Government Strategic Research Area in Materials Science on Advanced Functional Materials, AFM, at Linköping University.

What on earth is Functional Yarn?

Functional yarn is really a special kind of yarn with exclusive properties and traits that set it aside from standard yarns. Constructed from either natural or maybe human-made products, functional yarn can have many functions including insulation, absorption, fire retardancy, anti-staticity and wicking to create fabrics with numerous advantages and purposes.

High-performance yarns can be bought in various textile goods, from sportswear and workwear to every day apparel. Polyester Cotton-Like Yarn Manufacturers Their insulation, flame retardant and also anti-static properties be sure that users remain comfortable no matter weather conditions when also safeguarding these against environmental toxins.

Functional yarns offer you numerous advantages to prospects who spend much of time outdoors or throughout extreme environments, such as insulation, fire retardancy plus anti-static properties in which help people keep on being warm in hard weather. Wicking capabilities of these yarns also enable sweat to escape your sensitive skin quickly, helping reduce heat stroke or hypothermia probability and keeping body temperatures at hand. Furthermore, durable commercial washes will lengthen fabric longevity by means of manyfold.

Not only tend to be yarns known therefore to their insulating, fireproofing as well as antistatic qualities; additionally , they possess other useful attributes that make them suited to clothing applications inside various forms. Some yarns feature color changing functions or glow in the dark capabilities that could make garments a lot more desirable and delightful to buyers.

One common make use of for yarns like these should be to reflect light again at its resource - something which makes these materials perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking and hiking. Moisture absorption, heat retention and also breathability also help make these fibers priceless in cold climates like those associated with Minnesota or Wisconsin.

Compared with other conductive materials that happen to be stiff and tough to incorporate towards fabric-making processes, Drexel researchers were able to incorporate their MXene yarns into traditional fabric production by knitting that MXene-coated cellulose yarns in to soft yet strong fabric that will then be knitted in to various shapes for instance hats and overcoats.

Functional fabric progression has taken a huge step forward on this accomplishment, as it proves you are able to produce clothing which often conducts electricity although remaining soft and also flexible. Other conductive components, like silver nanoparticles plus graphene, have proven difficult to do business with due to becoming rigid and seeking high temperatures intended for processing.

Functional yarns may be created using a number of materials, including polyurethane elastomer along with polyester elastomer, which are combined with base fibers to further improve moisture absorption, expand and shape maintenance. Furthermore, Chitosan can be added to these yarns to enhance insulating, anti-odor plus anti-microbial properties as well as hypoallergenicity; hypoallergenicity ensures safe used producing clothing and also accessories for babies and pets as well as medical devices as well as workwear like uniforms and also gloves.
