: A new kind of two-dimensional (2D) materials MXene (early transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides) is obtained by selective etching the A element from the MAX phases. MXene exhibits both the metallic conductivity and the hydrophilic nature due to its metal layer structure and hydroxyl or oxygen terminated surfaces. This review provides an overview of the MXene used in the electrolytes and electrodes for the fuel cells and water splitting. MXene with functional groups termination could construct ion channels that significantly benefits to the ion conductivity through the electrolyte. The metal supported by MXene interaction offers electronic, compositional, and geometric effects that could enhance the catalytic activity and stability. MXene have already shown promising performance for fuel cells and water electrolysis. Herein, the etching and intercalation methods of MXene in recent years are summarized. The applications of MXene for fuel cells electrolyte, catalyst and water splitting catalyst are revealed to provide more brief idea for MXene used as new energy materials.

Owing to their peculiar structural characteristics and potential applications in various fields, the ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets, a typical two-dimensional material, have attracted numerous attentions. In this paper, a hybrid strategy with combination of quenching process and liquid-based exfoliation was employed to fabricate the ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NS). The obtained MoS2 NS still maintained hexagonal phase (2H-MoS2) and exhibited evident thin layer-structure (1–2 layers) with inconspicuous wrinkle. Besides, the MoS2 NS dispersion showed excellent stability (over 60 days) and high concentration (0.65 ± 0.04 mg mL−1). The MoS2 NS dispersion also displayed evident optical properties, with two characteristic peaks at 615 and 670 nm, and could be quantitatively analyzed with the absorbance at 615 nm in the range of 0.01–0.5 mg mL−1. The adsorption experiments showed that the as-prepared MoS2 NS also exhibited remarkable adsorption performance on the dyes (344.8 and 123.5 mg g−1 of qm for methylene blue and methyl orange, respectively) and heavy metals (185.2, 169.5, and 70.4 mg g−1 of qm for Cd2+, Cu2+, and Ag+). During the adsorption, the main adsorption mechanisms involved the synergism of physical hole-filling effects and electrostatic interactions. This work provided an effective way for the large-scale fabrication of the two-dimensional nanosheets of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by liquid exfoliation.

The CdII atom in the title complex, [Cd(C8H5O3)2(C12H8N2)(H2O)], is coordinated by three O atoms of two formylbenzoate ligands, two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and one water molecule, giving rise to a trigonal–prismatic coordination geometry. Adjacent complex molecules are linked into a two-dimensional layer structure via hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Abstract Observational data from two field campaigns in the Amazon forest were used to study the vertical structure of turbulence above the forest. The analysis was performed using the reduced turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget and its associated two-dimensional phase space. Results revealed the existence of two regions within the roughness sublayer in which the TKE budget cannot be explained by the canonical flat-terrain TKE budgets in the canopy roughness sublayer or in the lower portion of the convective ABL. Data analysis also suggested that deviations from horizontal homogeneity have a large contribution to the TKE budget. Results from LES of a model canopy over idealized topography presented similar features, leading to the conclusion that flow distortions caused by topography are responsible for the observed features in the TKE budget. These results support the conclusion that the boundary layer above the Amazon forest is strongly impacted by the gentle topography underneath.

In this article, the results of research about stationary and secondary disturbances development behind the localized and two-dimensional roughness elements are presented. It is shown that the two-dimensional roughness element has a destabilizing effect on the disturbances induced by the three-dimensional roughness element lying upstream. In this case, the two-dimensional roughness element causes the appearance of stationary structures, and then secondary perturbations, whose frequency range lies lower than in the case of the stationary vortices excited by a three-dimensional roughness element.

VIVoxyfluorides are of interest as frustrated magnets. The successful synthesis of two-dimensionally connected vanadium(IV) oxyfluoride structures generally requires the use of ionic liquids as solvents. During solvothermal synthesis experiments aimed at producing two- and three-dimensional vanadium(IV) selenites with triangular lattices, the title compound, diaquatetra-μ-fluorido-dioxidodivanadium(IV) monohydrate, V2O2F4(H2O)2·H2O, was discovered and features a new infinite V4+-containing two-dimensional layer comprised of fluorine-bridged corner- and edge-sharing VOF4(H2O) octahedral building units. The synthesis was carried out under solvothermal conditions. The V4+centre exhibits a typical off-centring, with a short V=O bond and an elongatedtrans-V—F bond. Hydrogen-bonded water molecules occur between the layers. The structure is related to previously reported vanadium oxyfluoride structures, in particular, the same layer topology is seen in VOF3.

Two new CdII MOFs, namely, two-dimensional (2D) poly[[[μ2-1,4-bis(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)butane](μ2-heptanedioato)cadmium(II)] tetrahydrate], {[Cd(C7H10O4)(C18H18N4)]·4H2O} n or {[Cd(Pim)(bbimb)]·4H2O} n (1), and 2D poly[diaqua[μ2-1,4-bis(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)butane](μ4-decanedioato)(μ2-decanedioato)dicadmium(II)], [Cd2(C10H16O4)2(C18H18N4)(H2O)2] n or [Cd(Seb)(bbimb)0.5(H2O)] n (2), have been synthesized hydrothermally based on the 1,4-bis(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)butane (bbimb) and pimelate (Pim2−, heptanedioate) or sebacate (Seb2−, decanedioate) ligands. Both MOFs were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In 1, the CdII centres are connected by bbimb and Pim2− ligands to generate a 2D sql layer structure with an octameric (H2O)8 water cluster. The 2D layers are further connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure. In 2, the CdII centres are coordinated by Seb2− ligands to form binuclear Cd2 units which are linked by bbimb and Seb2− ligands into a 2D hxl layer. The 2D layers are further connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to an 8-connected 3D hex supramolecular network. IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and solid-state photoluminescence analysis were carried out on both MOFs. Luminescence sensing experiments reveal that both MOFs have good selective sensing towards Fe3+ in aqueous solution.

The structure of the title compound, [Cu2Cl2(C12H10N2)] n , shows that each CuI ion is tetrahedral, being coordinated by three Cl atoms and one N atom of the 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene ligand (BPE, C12H10N2). Cl atoms and BPE molecules bridge the CuI ions to form a two-dimensional layer structure through inversion centres located at the mid-point of the Cu2Cl2 bridge and at the mid-point of the C=C double bond of the BPE ligand.
