Recent advances in the synthesis, photo-/electrocatalytic properties and applications of MXenes/bismuth-related composites
Résumé
In recent years, many reviews have been made for the design, synthesis, properties, and relevant applications of MXenes and their derivatives, but a systematic overview specifically dedicated to MXenes/bismuth-related composites (i.e., MXenes/Bi-rcs) is still missing. Here we present the recent progress on the design, synthesis, and photo-/electrocatalytic properties of MXenes/Bi-rcs, as well as their applications, aiming to offer new insights and guidance for their future development. We begin by disclosing the synthesis methods of MXenes/Bi-rcs and highlighting the preparation strategies of MXenes that is an important first step in achieving the MXenes/Bi-rcs. Then, we disclose the photo-/electrocatalytic properties and applications of MXenes/Bi-rcs, with a focus of particular concern on the interplay of Bi element with the functional groups of MXenes and for the mechanisms that account for the enhanced photo-/electroactivity and durability. Finally, we show the promising opportunities of MXenes/Bi-rcs associated with the potential challenges of this emerging research branch.
