Abstract

A new types of 2D MXene based conducting polymer materials was constructed by in-situ polymerization techniques. In addition, the MXene (Ti 3 C 2 Tx) was synthesized with the combination of Ti 3 AlC 2 and HF, after successful preparation of Ti 3 C 2 Tx then, their surface was functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and formed the Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] Further, the Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] is combined with polyaniline (PANI) to form conducting polymer grafted thin film nanosheets named Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] /PANI with a thickness in micrometer size through the grafting method. The prepared materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS, and EDX techniques. To check the performance of materials, the in-vitro anticancer activities were performed with laser and without laser. Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] /PANI-treated cancer cells exposed to an 808 nm laser (0.48 W cm 2 , 10 min) showed a significant anticancer impact, and practically all anticancer cells were destroyed. The MTT findings demonstrating the effective in vitro anticancer impact of Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] /PANI were supported by the Calcein AM/PI double staining examination. Additionally, an adsorption investigation was conducted using the metals Cr 3+ and pb 2+, and the maximum adsorption reached 303.3 and 201.6 mg/g, correspondingly. The recovering study was also conducted, and Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] /PANI nanosheets can be easily recycled and regenerated after ten successful recovering recycle. It is anticipated that the developed process for making the MXene and conducting polymer-based Ti 3 C 2 [email protected] /PANI nanosheets would be usable for various other advanced applications.
