Abstract Solar energy can be utilized in photocatalysis technology to realize light‐driven hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) production, a green chemical synthesis route. Designing high‐performance photocatalysts is critical achieving practical solar H production. During the past decade, significant research progress made photocatalytic materials for Particularly 2D materials‐based stand out due their unique physical and properties. This review highlights intricate relationship between material...
Covalent modification is commonly used to tune the channel size and functionality of 2D membranes. However, common synthesis strategies produce such modifications are known disrupt structure Herein, we report less intrusive yet equally effective non-covalent on Ti3C2Tx MXene membranes by a solvent treatment, where channels robustly decorated protic solvents via hydrogen bond network.
