Two-dimensional materials have secured a novel area of research in material science after the emergence of graphene. Now, a new family of 2D material-MXene is gradually growing and making itsmark in this field of study. MXenes since 2011 have been synthesized and experimented on in several ways.The HF treatment although successful poses some serious problems that gradually propelled the ideas of new synthesis methods. This review of the literature covers the major breakthroughs of MXene from the year of its discovery to recent endeavors, highlighting how the synthesis mechanisms have been developed over the years and also the importance of good characterization of data. Results and properties of this class of materials arealso briefly discussed alongwith recent advance in applications.

AbstractDue to the unique properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, much attention has been paid to the exploration and application of 2D materials. In this review, we focus on the application of 2D materials in mode-locked fiber lasers. We summarize the synthesis methods for 2D materials, fiber integration with 2D materials and 2D materials based saturable absorbers. We discuss the performance of the diverse mode-locked fiber lasers in the typical operating wavelength such as 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 μm. Finally, a summary and outlook of the further applications of the new materials in mode-locked fiber lasers are presented.

MXene, the new family of two-dimensional materials having numerous nanoscale layers, is being considered as a novel microwave absorption material. However, MXene/functionalized MXene-loaded polymer nanocomposites exhibit narrow reflection loss (RL) bandwidth (RL less than or equal to −10 dB). In order to enhance the microwave absorption bandwidth of MXene hybrid-matrix materials, for the first time, macroscopic design approach is carried out for TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene hybrids through simulation. The simulated results indicate that use of pyramidal meta structure of MXene can significantly tune the RL bandwidth. For optimized MXene hybrid-matrix materials pyramid pattern, the bandwidth enhances to 3–18 GHz. Experimental RL value well matched with the simulated RL. On the other hand, the optimized Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrid exhibits two specific absorption bandwidths (minimum RL value - −47 dB). Compared with other two-dimensional nanocomposites such as graphene or Fe 3 O 4 -graphene, MXene hybrid-matrix materials show better microwave absorption bandwidth in macroscopic pattern.

AbstractIn this paper, we employ the nonlinear optical microscopies of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy, two-photon excitation fluorescence, and second harmonic generation to characterize the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. With these nonlinear optical microscopy methods, we can not only clearly observe the surface topography of 2D materials but also reveal the quality of 2D materials. These nonlinear optical microscopies offer great potential for characterization of the properties of 2D materials.

Abstract Two-dimensional NQR spectroscopy for correlation of homogeneous and inhomogeneous linewidths has been applied to the 35Cl resonance of sodium chlorate powders of different origin. Powder from a ground crystal could be discriminated from technical powder by the ratio of linewidths along the two orthogonal axes in the 2D spectrum. These experiments indicate the applicability of NQR spectroscopy in material science.
