Dramatic increases in fossil fuel consumption inevitably led to the emission of huge amounts of CO2 gas, causing abnormalities in the climate system. Despite continuous efforts to resolve global atmospheric problems through CO2 capture and separation, success has been limited by poor CO2 selectivity in the CO2/N2 mixture. Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of a three-dimensional (3D) nanostructure from two-dimensional transition metal carbides (Ti3C2Tx, MXene), and assess its utility as an adsorbent in a CO2 capture system. Through structural and textural analysis, we confirm that the as-prepared MXene possesses high size uniformity with a thickness of ~2.5 nm, and that an MXene aerogel interconnected by MXene nanosheets has a 3D porous architecture with micro/nano porosity (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size = 11.4 nm). Moreover, the MXene aerogel exhibits favorable adsorption behavior for CO2, due to the high-quality MXene nanosheets even with a low specific surface area. Our approach could lead to significant advances in CO2 capture by adsorbents and open up new opportunities for mass production.

The recent development of nanoscale fillers, such as carbon nanotube, graphene, and nanocellulose, allows the functionality of polymer nanocomposites to be controlled and enhanced. However, conventional synthesis methods of polymer nanocomposites cannot maximise the reinforcement of these nanofillers at high filler content. Approaches to the synthesis of high content filler polymer nanocomposites are suggested to facilitate future applications. The fabrication methods address design of the polymer nanocomposite architecture, which encompass one, two, and three dimensional morphology. Factors that hamper the reinforcement of nanostructures, such as alignment, dispersion of filler as well as interfacial bonding between filler and polymer are outlined. Using suitable approaches, maximum potential reinforcement of nanoscale filler can be anticipated without limitations in orientation, dispersion, and the integrity of the filler particle-matrix interface. High filler content polymer composites containing emerging materials such as 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes) are expected in the future.

As a consequence of bulk truncation, the atomic structure and composition within the surface region of an ordered or random alloy may differ significantly from that of the bulk. Specifically, the response to the rearrangement resulting from the reduction of surface energy may cause elemental redistribution within the outermost layers and two- or three-dimensional atomic reordering. Furthermore, the presence of adsorbates may have a pronounced effect on these properties and cause significant changes. These properties for some surfaces of transition-metal aluminides, transition-metal carbides, and random alloys will be presented.

<div>CO2 is one of the main actors in the greenhouse effect and its removal from the atmosphere is becoming an urgent need. Thus, CO2 capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 capture and usage (CCU) technologies are intensively investigated as technologies to decrease the concentration</div><div>of atmospheric CO2. Both CCS and CCU require appropriate materials to adsorb/release and adsorb/activate CO2, respectively. Recently, it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that transition metal carbides (TMC) are able to capture, store, and activate CO2. To further improve the adsorption capacity of these materials, a deep understanding of the atomic level processes involved is essential. In the present work, we theoretically investigate the possible effects of surface metal doping of these TMCs by taking TiC as a textbook case and Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, W, and Zr as dopants. Using periodic slab models with large</div><div>supercells and state-of-the-art density functional theory based calculations we show that CO2 adsorption is enhanced by doping with metals down a group but worsened along the d series. Adsorption sites, dispersion and coverage appear to play a minor, secondary constant effect. The dopant-induced adsorption enhancement is highly biased by the charge rearrangement at the surface. In all cases, CO2 activation is found but doping can shift the desorption temperature by up to 135 K.</div>
