| T338 |
0-114 |
Sentence |
denotes |
MXenes are hydrophilic and they carry high negative charge (zeta-potential in solution is between −30 and −80 mV). |
| T339 |
115-295 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As such, Ti3C2Tx MXene has been shown to adsorb amino acids strongly221 and may be able to bind strongly to viral spike peplomers and to immobilize the virus, thus deactivating it. |
| T340 |
296-352 |
Sentence |
denotes |
It performs analogously to a strong magnet for proteins. |
| T341 |
353-680 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Furthermore, MXenes have been shown to be photocatalytically active, meaning that once a virus is adsorbed onto the surface, it will be possible to apply light to degrade the adsorbate simultaneously.222−224 MXenes are among the most efficient light-to-heat converters due to their plasmon resonance in the visible or IR range. |
| T342 |
681-878 |
Sentence |
denotes |
For example, Ti3C2Tx is excited by red light (780 nm plasmon resonance) and can be sterilized using a red/infrared lamp as well as solar light if the virus survives on the contact with the surface. |
| T343 |
879-1406 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A wide variety of MXenes—including Ti3C2Tx, Ta4C3Tx, Nb2CTx, and others—are biocompatible.225−229 At the same time, some MXenes have shown antibacterial properties, likely due to the combination of their charge transfer ability and hydrophilicity.183,230,231 Furthermore, it has been shown that the most common and least expensive titanium carbide MXenes have no negative ecological or toxicological impact on the environment.232 Nanometer-thin coatings of single-layer MXene flakes on the exposed surfaces are worth exploring. |
| T344 |
1407-1626 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Other new materials, such as metal oxides or metal–organic frameworks, deserve attention and should be explored as antiviral materials, as well, because they are also capable of releasing disinfectants from their pores. |
