Ti₃ C₂ -MXene Partially Derived Hierarchical 1D/2D TiO₂ /Ti₃ C₂ Heterostructure Electrode for High-Performance Capacitive Deionization.

ABSTRACT: Constructing faradaic electrode with superior desalination performance is important for expanding the applications of capacitive deionization (CDI). Herein, a simple one-step alkalized treatment for in situ synthesis of 1D TiO₂ nanowires on the surface of 2D Ti₃ C₂ nanosheets, forming a Ti₃ C₂ -MXene partially derived hierarchical 1D/2D TiO₂ /Ti₃ C₂ heterostructure as the cathode electrode is reported. Cross-linked TiO₂ nanowires on the surface help avoid layer stacking while acting as the protective layer against contact of internal Ti₃ C₂ with dissolved oxygen in water. The inner Ti₃ C₂ MXene nanosheets cross over the TiO₂ nanowires can
