Transition metal compounds: From properties, applications to wettability regulation

Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2023 Oct 19;321:103027. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.103027. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransition metal compounds (TMCs) have the advantages of abundant reserves, low cost, non-toxic and pollution-free, and have attracted wide attention in recent years. With the development of two-dimensional layered materials, a new two-dimensional transition metal carbonitride (MXene) has attracted extensive attention due to its excellent physicochemical properties such as gas selectivity, photocatalytic properties, electromagnetic interference shielding and photothermal properties. They are widely used in gas sensors, oil/water separation, wastewater and waste-oil treatment, cancer treatment, seawater desalination, strain sensors, medical materials and some energy storage materials. In this view, we aim to emphatically summarize MXene with their properties, applications and their wettability regulation in different applications. In addition, the properties of transition metal oxides (TMOs) and other TMCs and their wettability regulation applications are also discussed.PMID:37883847 | DOI:10.1016/j.cis.2023.103027
