Facile synthesis of PbBiO₂X/Ti₃C₂ MXene composites with efficient visible photocatalytic activity

Abstract

Three series of novel PbBiO2X/Ti3C2 composited photocatalysts were synthesized for the first time.

A review on surface modulation of MXenes and the impact on their work functions and stability

“…1, in the MXene family, M represents early transition metals from groups 3 to 6 such as Sc, Ti, Zr, V, Cr, Mn, Nb, Hf, Ta, or Mo, X is the element carbon or nitrogen, and T x denotes surface terminations from groups 16 and 17 of the periodic table, as well as hydroxyl and imido groups. 2–7 Typically, MXenes were obtained by etching the MAX phase, in which the M atoms are alternately arranged with the A atoms in a layer-by-layer manner, and the X atoms fill the voids of octahedral interstices. Notably, A comes from Group IIIA or IVA elements (such as Al, Si).…”
