Magnetite/MXene (FeO/TiC) Nanocomposite as a Novel Adsorbent for Environmental Remediation of Malachite Green Dye.

In this work, a novel adsorbent called magnetite/MXene (FeO/TiC) nanocomposite was prepared, characterized, and applied for the removal of organic dye, malachite green dye (MG), from both real water and model solutions. Numerous techniques were used to characterize the prepared FeO/TiC nanocomposite: XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR, and surface area analysis. The outcomes showed that the Al layer had been selectively etched, that the MAX phase (TiAlC) had been transformed into layered TiC MXene, that the cubic FeO phase had been prepared, and that the prepared FeO NPs had been evenly distributed on the MXene surface.
