    Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) MXenes are promising materials for a variety of sustainable energy-related applications such as photoelectrochemical water splitting and energy storage devices. Among the MXene family, the Ti3C2Tx is mostly prepared by selective etching of Al from the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase using hydrofluoric acid (HF) or in-situ produced HF as an etchant. However, the severe toxicity, handling of HF acid as well as the oxidation and degradation of freshly synthesized MXenes when stored as aqueous suspensions obstruct the large-scale production of MXenes. 3D printing is an innovative and versatile technology utilized for a plethora of applications in the field of energy applications. Thus, integration of 3D printing technology with the synthesis procedure of MXene will provide a new outlook for large-scale production and the long-storing capability of MXene. Herein, we fabricated a novel MAX (Ti3AlC2)/polylactic acid (PLA) filament for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing followed by etching of the 3D-printed MAX/PLA electrode into 3DP-etched-MAX employing chronoamperometry technique consecutively in 9 M HCl and 4 M NaOH as electrolytes. The 3D printed electrochemically etched MAX (3DP-etched-MAX) electrode shows promising behaviour for the photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and capacitive performance. In general, this work demonstrates a path of production of large-scale manufacturing of MAX/PLA filament and 3DP-etched-MAX electrodes without using toxic HF for energy conversion and energy storage applications. This work paves the way to fabricate other novel MAX filaments and electrodes for several applications beyond energy conversion and storage.

    Abstract ABSTRACT3D printing has become a powerful technique in electrochemistry for fabricating electrodes, thanks to readily available conductive nanocomposite filaments, such as those based on carbon fillers (i.e., carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or carbon black (CB)) within an insulating polymeric matrix like polylactic acid (PLA). Inspired by inorganic heterostructures that enhance the functional characteristics of nanomaterials, we fabricated hetero-layered 3D printed devices based on carbon allotropes using a layer-by-layer assembly approach. The heterolayers were customised through the alternate integration of different carbon allotrope filaments via a multi-material 3D printing technique, allowing for a time-effective method to enhance electrochemical performance. As a first demonstration of applicability, CNT/PLA and CB/PLA filaments were utilised to construct ordered hetero-layered carbon-based electrodes. This contrasts with conventional methods where various carbon species are mixed in the same composite-based filament used for building electrochemical devices. Multi-material 3D-printed carbon electrodes exhibit improved electrochemical performance in energy conversion (e.g., hydrogen evolution reaction or HER) and sensing applications (e.g., ascorbic acid detection) compared to single-material electrodes. This work paves the way for manufacturing advanced 3D-printed heterolayered electrodes with enhanced electrochemical activity through multi-material 3D printing technology.

    Abstract 3D-printing technology is widely accepted as a scalable and advanced manufacturing procedure for the fabrication of electrodes for electrochemical applications. 3D-printed carbon-based electrodes can be used for electrochemical analysis, replacing conventional carbon electrodes. However, a bare 3D-printed carbon electrode exhibits poor electrochemical performance. Herein, a post-treatment of 3D-printed electrodes was carried out using catalytically active materials to improve their electrochemical performance. We used a dip-coating technique which is a more universal, facile, and cost-effective approach compared with other conventionally used techniques such as atomic layer deposition or electrodeposition. The 3D-printed nanocarbon electrodes were dip-coated with MXene (Ti3C2Tx) and different transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 to study their catalytic activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This study demonstrates a simple method of improving the catalytic surface properties of 3D-printed nanocarbon electrodes for energy conversion applications.

    Abstract The decentralized fabrication of sensors using 3D-printing technology and low power requirements of electrochemical detection promise to revolutionize point-of-care sensing. One of the obstacles is that the 3D-printed devices are often not catalytic to the target analytes. Here, we develop a non-enzymatic printed nanocarbon electrode sensor to detect sugars (glucose and sucrose) via copper and nickel electroplating over a 3D-printed conducting electrode. The morphological and spectroscopic characterizations of copper-plated and nickel-plated 3D-printed carbon electrodes were performed. Scanning electron micrographs show the formation of metal nanoparticles over the surface of a 3D-printed nanocarbon electrode. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the composition and chemical states of the metal coating. Electrochemical characterization via cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry was carried out, and glucose and sucrose sensing were performed. This method of on-demand decentralized sensor fabrication and modifications should find broad applications.

    Abstract This paper describes a method to localise all those areas which may constitute the date field in an Indian handwritten document. Spatial patterns of the date field are studied from various handwritten documents and an algorithm is developed through statistical analysis to identify those sets of connected components which may constitute the date. Common date patterns followed in India are considered to classify the date formats in different classes. Reported results demonstrate promising performance of the proposed approach.
