作为具有代表性的二维纳米材料之一,MXene通过层层堆叠可以构建具有分子筛分通道的新型二维分离膜。利用氟化锂/盐酸原位生成氢氟酸的方法,系统地研究了刻蚀液浓度对碳化钛(Ti3C2)系MXene纳米片结构的影响,并利用热处理探究了MXene二维膜的结构演变。结果表明,当刻蚀剂中F-的摩尔质量是Al3+的7倍及以上时,能获得较好的单层MXene,且纳米片层之间的层间距随着刻蚀剂中F-浓度的提高而增大;利用热自交联反应,可以在增强纳米片层与片层之间作用力的同时,改变纳米片的层间距。
MXene,as a representative two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials,can construct a new two-dimensional separation membrane with molecular sieving channels by stacking layer by layer.The effects of etching fluid concentration on the structure of T3C2-based MXene nanosheets were systematically studied using in-situ generation of hydrofluoric acid from lithium fluoride (LiF)/hydrochloric acid.The structure evolution of MXene 2D membranes was explored by simple heat-treatment.The results showed that when the molar mass of F- in the etchant was 7 times or more than that of Al3+,better single-layer MXene could be obtained,and the layer-spacing between the nanosheet layers increased with the increase of F- concentration in the etchant.Using the thermal self-crosslinked reaction,the layer-spacing of the nanosheets could be changed while enhancing the force between the nanosheets.
