Bacteria induced wound infection has become fatal healthcare issues needed to be resolved urgently. It is of vital importance to develop multifunctional therapeutic platforms to fight against increased bacterial antibiotic resistance. Herein, a titanium carbide (MXene)/zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8)/polylactic acid (PLA) composite membrane (MZ-8/PLA) was fabricated through in-situ growth of ZIF-8 on MXene and the subsequent electrospinning process. It indicated MZ-8 can generate singlet oxygen and hyperthermia at photothermal (PTT) convention efficiency of 80.5% with bactericidal rate of more than 99.0%. In addition, MZ-8 showed remarkable antitumor efficiency in vitro and in vivo based on the combined photodynamic/photothermal therapy. Theoretical calculation illustrated MZ-8 could improve the laser activation process by acceleration of intermolecular charge transfer, reducing excitation energy, stabilizing excited states and increasing intersystem crossing rate. After incorporated into electrospun scaffolds, MZ-8/PLA exhibited potent PTT and photodynamic therapy (PDT) properties under 808 nm laser irradiation. The antibacterial rates of MZ-8/PLA were up to 99.9% and 99.8% against Escherichia coli and Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, respectively. In-vivo experimental results further confirmed that MZ-8/PLA can accelerate bacteria infected wound healing without observable resistance. This work opens a new avenue to design promising platforms for fighting against extremely drug resistant bacterial infection.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) utilizes near-infrared (NIR) light to enhance localized, non-invasive cancer treatments and drug delivery systems (DDS). Combination chemotherapy with PTT (chemo-PTT) offers multiple therapeutic advantages, involving synergistic effects, reduced side effects, and decreased drug toxicity. In this study, 2D titanium carbide (TiCT) MXene nanosheets were encapsulated in a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) to form (MX-ZIF-8) nanoparticles (NPs) for PTT applications.

On construction sites impacted by particulate matter and hazardous gases, portable integrated air filtration equipment with high efficiency, minimal pressure drops and ammonia (NH) alarms is critical. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) present a sustainable solution by generating self-powered electricity to fulfill these requirements. In this study, we synthesized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) in situ on the surface of titanium carbide (TiCT) to create TiCT/ZIF-8, grafted it onto cellulose diacetate via tetraethyl orthosilicate, and ultimately developed a cellulose-based nanofibrous membrane through electrospinning, combining it with a negative triboelectric material to construct a self-powered TENG-based mask.

Heterointerface engineering, which plays a pivotal role in developing advanced microwave-absorbing materials, is employed to design zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-MXene nanocomposites. The ZIF-MXene composites are prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of negatively charged titanium carbide MXene flakes and positively charged Co-containing ZIF nanomaterials. This approach effectively creates abundant Mott-Schottky heterointerfaces exhibiting a robust built-in electric field (BIEF) effect, as evidenced by experimental and theoretical analyses, leading to a notable attenuation of electromagnetic energy.

Contamination of water sources with various organic and inorganic non-biodegradable pollutants is becoming a growing concern due to industrialization, urbanization, and the inefficiency of traditional wastewater treatment processes. Transition Metal Carbides/Nitrides (MXenes) are emerging as advanced nanomaterials of choice for treating contaminated water owing to their excellent conductivity, mechanical flexibility, high specific surface area, scalable production, rich surface functionalities, and layered morphology. MXenes have demonstrated enhanced ability to adsorb various organic and inorganic contaminants depending upon their surface terminal groups (-OH, -F, and -O) and interlayer spacing.

The 2D titanium carbide MXene with both extraordinary electromagnetic attenuation and elastic properties has shown great potential as the building block for constructing mechanically robust microwave absorbing composites (MACs). However, the weak thermal stability has inhibited the successful incorporation of MXene into the inorganic MACs matrix so far. Herein, an ultralow temperature sintering strategy to fabricate a hierarchical aluminosilicate glass composite is demonstrated by using EMT zeolite as starting powder, which can not only endow the composites with high sinterability, but also facilitate the alignment of MXene in the glass matrix.
