Photothermal properties of MXenes and sterilization of MRSA by Nb2C/Gel with a low power NIR-II laser

A comparative study on the photothermal properties of MXenes (Ti 3 C 2 , V 2 C and Nb 2 C) and MXene/Gels (Ti 3 C 2 /Gel, V 2 C/Gel and Nb 2 C/Gel). The fast and efficient sterilization of MRSA was achieved using Nb 2 C/Gel at low laser power.
