Nanofillers with one- and two-dimensional structures have attracted considerable interest as functional additives in PDCs due to their remarkable electrical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical properties. The principal aim of their inclusion in PDC-based composites is to augment the adaptability of the material for a wider range of industrial applications. This review commences by providing a comprehensive analysis of the primary synthesis techniques employed for producing PDCs, emphasizing the significant influence of the pyrolysis conditions in modifying the microstructure and properties of the resulting ceramics. A detailed analysis of the fabrication of PDCs with integrated one-dimensional (1D) nanofillers, such as carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanotubes, nanowires, and carbon nanofibers, is then provided. This review also focuses on the incorporation of two-dimensional (2D) nanofillers, including graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), MXene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), as well as 2D metal organic frameworks, into PDC matrices. Moreover, the effects of 1D/2D nanofiller addition on the mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics of PDC nanocomposites are discussed in detail and related to their microstructural attributes and processing conditions. This review article provides insights for researchers, engineers, and material scientists who are actively engaged in the field of advanced ceramics and nanocomposites with the objective of facilitating the exploration of new horizons in material properties and applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"8 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-025-01346-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145163906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developing highly efficient photocatalysts is pivotal for advancing photocatalysis technology and facilitating its practical applications. In this study, Ti₃C₂T_<i>X</i> MXene was used as a precursor of TiO₂ nanoparticles coated with a carbon/nitrogen (C/N) shell for photocatalytic hydrogen generation under simulated solar light. The fabrication strategy was based on a straightforward one-step annealing process. The photoactivity of the sample was optimized through the following: (1) tuning the ratio of precursors MXene to gCN calcinated in the air at 550 °C, and (2) controlling the temperature of the annealing process of the sample, which indicated the most outstanding hydrogen evolution yield in strategy 1° (MXene:gCN = 1:19). The optimized sample, C/N@TiO₂, demonstrated an exceptional H₂ production rate of 37.66 mmol/g (37,660 µmol/g), approximately 655 times and 37 times higher than those of gCN (57 µmol/g) and TiO₂ derived from pristine MXene (1024 µmol/g), respectively. This remarkable photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of a carbon/nitrogen (C/N) shell, which made TiO₂ extraordinarily robust in the experimental conditions, promoting charge separation, suppressing electron–hole recombination, and enhancing visible light absorption. Additionally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the C/N layer serves as an electron-rich active site, further promoting efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation. This study provides a facile and cost-effective pathway to advancing green hydrogen production technologies. The findings underscore the potential of photocatalytic systems for sustainable energy development, paving the way for scalable renewable energy solutions. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"8 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-025-01342-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145163167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This innovative probe was seamlessly integrated into direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing, enabling the fabrication of 4D smart labels with adjustable void fractions using bio-inks that leverage shear-thinning properties. These smart labels exhibit a linear and highly sensitive response to ammonia (NH₃) concentrations ranging from 50 to 15,000 ppm and carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels between 0 and 30% (v/v), with rapid detection times as short as 4 min. The integration of fast, intuitive, and precise detection mechanisms allows for non-destructive and real-time food freshness monitoring across diverse product categories, including vegetables, seafood, and meat products. In practical applications, the labels demonstrated exceptional accuracy in detecting spoilage indicators in shrimp, yellow croaker, pork, chicken breast, mushrooms, broccoli, fresh-cut cantaloupe, and spinach underscoring their adaptability and effectiveness. In conclusion, this work demonstrates the successful integration of nanotechnology with DIW 3D printing to produce versatile smart labels capable of accurately monitoring food freshness across various matrices.
