Interest in eco-friendly materials with high efficiencies is increasing significantly as science and technology undergo a paradigm shift toward environment-friendly and sustainable development. MXenes, a class of two-dimensional inorganic compounds, are generally defined as transition metal carbides or nitrides composed of few-atoms-thick layers with functional groups. Recently MXenes, because of their desirable electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties that emerge from conductive layered structures with tunable surface terminations, have garnered significant attention as promising candidates for energy storage applications (e.g., supercapacitors and electrode materials for Li-ion batteries), water purification, and gas sensors. In this review, we introduce MXenes and describe their properties and research trends by classifying them into two main categories: transition metal carbides and nitrides, including Ti-based MXenes, Mo-based MXenes, and Nb-based MXenes.

We report results of first principles calculations for effects of an external electric field (E-field) on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) in transition-metal (Fe, Co, and Ni) monolayers and at metal-insulator (Fe/MgO) interfaces by means of full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. For the monolayers, the MCA in the Fe monolayer (but not in the Co and Ni) is modified by the E-field, and a giant modification is achieved in the $Fe_{0.75}Co_{0.25}$. For the Fe/MgO interfaces, the ideal Fe/MgO interface gives rise to a large out-of plane MCA, and a MCA modification is induced when an E-field is introduced. However, the existence of an interfacial FeO layer between the Fe layer and the MgO substrate may play a key role in demonstrating an Efield-driven MCA switching, i.e., from out-of-plane MCA to in-plane MCA.

The anionic transition metal hydrides $(HW(CO)_4P(OMe)_3\;^-,\;HW(CO)_5\;^-,\;HCr(CO)_5\;^-,\;HFe(CO)_4\;^-)$ react with transition metal alkyl $(CpMo(CO)_3(CH_3)$ to yield $CH_4\;and\;CH_3CHO$ in addition to the inorganic products $(CpMo(Co)_3\;^-$, etc.). The reaction of these anionic metal hydrides with CpMo(CO)3{CH2CH(CH2)2} may lead to an elucidation of the reaction mechanisms involved; the organic product distributions are among $CH_4,\;CH_2\;=\;CHCH_2CH_3$, and $CH_3CH(CH_2)_2$, depending upon the anionic metal hydride used. These anionic metal hydrides also are reported to undergo a hydride-halide exchange reaction with organic halides; therefore, these similar reactions have been compared in terms of leaving group ability $(CpMo(CO)_3\;^-\;vs.\;Br^-)$ and the mechanistic pathways.

The adsorption and separation behaviors of transition metal ions using a merrifield resin bound 1,12-diaza-3,4:9,10-dibenzo-5,8-dioxacyclopentadecane (NTOE) and 1,12,15-triaza-3,4:9,10-dibenzo-5,8-dioxacycloheptadecane(NDOE) were investigated in aqueous solution. The orders of adsorption degree(E) and distribution ratio(D) of transition metal ions were Cu(II)$t_R$) of metal ions were affected by adsorption degree(E) and distribution ratio(D). This results showed good separation efficiency of Ag(I) from mixed metal solution.

The redox property of oxide materials of the 3rd period transition metals(Cr~Zn), V, Mo, and W was studied with temperature-programmed reduction/temperature-programmed oxidation(TPR/TPO) experiment. The peak temperatures of TPO spectra were equal to or lower than those of TPR spectra. And the peak shapes of TPO spectra were broader than those of TPR ones. The activation energies of TPR/TPO for the oxides of the 3rd period transition metals showed in the range of 33~149 kJ/mol, while for the oxides of V, Mo, and W, they showed relatively higher values. The change of activation energies of TPR/TPO with various metal oxides showed a similar trend to the change of their metal-oxygen bond strengths. The change of activation energies of o-xylene oxidation for various metal oxides was proportional to the difference (${\Delta}E_a$) between the activation energy of TPR and that of TPO. From these results, we concluded that the oxidation of o-xylene over various metal oxide catalysts follows the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism including the surface reduction-oxidation of the metal oxide itself.

The azacrown compound, 1,7-dioxa-4,10,13-triazacyclopentadecane-N,N',N"-tri(methyl-acetic acid)(N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid)) was synthesized by modified procedure of Krespan. Potentiometric method has been used to determine the protonation constants of N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) and stability constants of complexes on the divalent transition metal ions (Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and trivalent metal ions (Ce3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Yb3+) with N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid). The stability constants for the complexes of the divalent transition metal ions studied in the present work with N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) were 11.4 for Co2+, 11.63 for Ni2+, 13.51 for Cu2+, and 11.65 for Zn2+, respectively. Thus, the order of the stability constants for complexes on the transition metal ions with N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) was shown Co2+ < Ni2+ < Cu2+ > Zn2+ as same as the order of Irving-Williams series. The stability constants of Ce3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, and Yb3+ trivalent lanthanide metal ion complexes of N3O2-tri(methylacetic acid) were, respectively, 11.26 for Ce3+, 11.56 for Eu3+, 11.49 for Gd3+, and 11.80 for Yb3+. The values of the stability constants on trivalent metal ions with the ligand are increasing according to increase atomic number, due to increase acidity. But the value of stability constant of Gd3+ ion is less than the value of Eu3+ ion. This disordered behavior is also reported by Moeller.

The recycling of waste resources, such as spent catalysts, primarily involves leaching and extracting metal components via smelting. These metal components are then recovered as salts, such as sulfates and nitrates. When crystallization occurs during the calcination of the recovered salts, the salts are converted into oxides, which are then reduced to form metals or ceramic materials. Common reducing agents used in oxide reduction include hydrogen and carbon, and metal powders are obtained upon reduction. Carbide synthesis can occur if the recycled element is a transition metal and carbon is used as the reducing agent. Despite being ceramic materials, transition metal carbides exhibit excellent conductivity owing to their metallic bonding. Recently, MXene, a two-dimensional transition metal carbide, has gained attention for electromagnetic wave shielding, secondary battery electrodes, and water purification owing to its electrical conductivity and large surface area. This study developed a process for synthesizing high-value MXene materials from waste resources. The properties of these MXenes were evaluated to confirm the potential of using waste resources as raw materials for MXenes.

The transport rates of transition metal cations were increased in order of Ni(II)$(NtnOenH_4)$and 1,12,15-triaza-3,4;9,10-dibenzo-5,8-dioxacyclo-heptadecane$(NdienOenH_4)$as carriers. The transport rates of transition metal cations was found to be of first order to the salt concentrations. It was also found that the dissociation process in the transport process is rate determining step. From the measurements of the transport rates at various temperatures, the partition free energies of hydration$({\Delta}G_p)$for the transition metal cations were calculated. The results showed that the order of transport rates of transition metal cations was found to be proportional to the magnitudes of negative value of the partition free energies of hydration$({\Delta}G_p)$.

This study was focused on the catalytic activity for the combustion of low-concentration methane using various commerical catalysts (six transition metal catalysts in Russia and one rare earth metal (Honeycomb) catalyst in Korea). Catalytic activity was strongly influenced by the type and loading content of metal supported in catalyst. Catalytic performance showed the highest activity in Honeycomb catalyst including rare earth metal, which was the most expensive catalyst, while the next was the catalyst supported Cu with high content (AOK-78-52) and also that supported Cr and Co (AOK-78-56). However, both AOK-78-52 and AOK-78-56 catalysts that were very cheap had lower activation energy than Honeycomb catalyst. In the economical field, both AOK-78-52 and AOK-78-56 catalysts with transition metals showed a good alternative catalyst on the combustion of methane.
