“…5,8 To address this issue, PTAs have been decorated with bacteria-targeting moieties, such as vancomycin (Van), anti-protein A IgG, aptamers and natural borneol-derived polymers. [9][10][11][12][13] MXenes are a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides of transition metals with the general formula M n+1 X n T x (n = 1, 2 or 3), which are prepared by selective etching of the A element layer from the pristine M n+1 AX n phase. [14][15][16] Due to their intrinsic high conductivity, large specific surface area, hydrophilicity, and excellent near-infrared photothermal conversion capability, 2D MXene nanosheets (2DM) are widely used in energy storage, photocatalysis, environmental science and biomedical engineering.…”
