Researchers have recently developed a novel light-responsive double network hydrogel based on methyl acrylated peptide nanofibers (PNFMA) with high biocompatibility, excellent biodegradability, and multifunctionality for the modulation of cancer cells in photothermal therapy.
A groundbreaking study published in Advanced Functional Materials on February 16, 2025, unveiled a novel MXene thin film protected by reduced graphene oxide (rGO), termed rGM. This innovative film boasts exceptional charge transfer capabilities and the remarkable ability to stay stable in the ambient air. The protective rGO layer effectively shields the conducting layer of MXene from air oxidation, significantly enhancing air stability. After 40 days of exposure to air at 25°C and 40% relative humidity, the membrane resistance of the rGM film (135.9±2.3Ω/sq - 312.6±4.5Ω/sq) showed negligible amplification compared to the pure MXene film (145.0±2.3Ω/sq - 2,152.8±6.8Ω/sq).
In a groundbreaking study reported on March 28, 2025, in the prestigious journal Nature Synthesis, researchers achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of materials science. By employing precise etching techniques guided by theoretical computations, they successfully obtained atomically ordered W2TiC2Tx MXene, a novel two-dimensional material. This achievement revolutionizes the challenges associated with interlayer delamination, paving the way for innovative applications of MXene powder in various fields, particularly in hydrogen production through water electrolysis.
