This work demonstrates a catalytic activity of MXene materials in the isomerization of α-pinene. The temperature influence, catalyst content and reaction time on α-pinene conversion have been revealed. Furthermore, the selectivity of transformation to appropriate products have been investigated. The multilayered and exfoliated Ti₃C₂T_x have been examined. Both studied MXene materials were active in α-pinene isomerization. However, the exfoliated Ti₃C₂T_x increased the activity significantly. As a result, an outstanding 100 mol% conversion of α-pinene in 7 h was achieved. It was observed that at optimal operating conditions and catalyst content the selectivity resulted in ∼ 60 mol% toward camphene formation. Additionally, the kinetics of the process has been described. Here, the analysis indicates that the kinetics of α-pinene isomerization over MXene samples was described by first-order kinetics. To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest reported selectivity and conversion reported in the current state of the art.

该工作证明了MXene材料在α-pine烯的异构化中的催化活性。揭示了温度，催化剂含量和反应时间对α-pine烯转化的影响。此外，已经研究了转化为合适产物的选择性。已经检查了多层和剥离的Ti ₃ C ₂ T _x。两种研究的MXene材料均具有α-pine烯异构化活性。但是，剥落的Ti ₃ C ₂ T _x大大增加了活动。结果，在7小时内实现了100摩尔％的优异的α-pine烯转化率。观察到，在最佳操作条件和催化剂含量下，选择性导致〜约60mol％的向camp烯形成。另外，已经描述了该过程的动力学。在此，分析表明，通过一阶动力学描述了在MXene样品上α-pine烯异构化的动力学。据我们所知，这是目前最新水平报道的最高选择性和转化率。
