摘要

This study presents a novel, one-step plasma-liquid synthesis method for producing nanocomposites of carbonitride MXenes containing graphene oxide by initiating a pulsed discharge between titanium or molybdenum electrodes immersed in acetonitrile. The synthesized composites were characterized using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XPS and FTIR revealed the presence of Ti–N, Mo–N, and C–O bonds, thereby validating the chemical composition of the substances. Electron microscopy demonstrated an accordion-like multilayer morphology. Notably, the composites exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiencies of 75% for Ti2CNTx/GO and 90% for Mo2CNTx/GO, surpassing those of conventional MXenes and graphene oxide. This environmentally friendly approach eliminates the need for hazardous etchants (e.g., HF) and high-temperature processes, offering a scalable alternative for MXene-based materials. The results of this study highlight the potential of these composites in solar energy harvesting, desalination, and biomedical applications.
