Noncovalent functionalization of Ti3C2TX using cationic porphyrins with enhanced stability against oxidation

Noncovalently functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T X MXenes are prepared via electrostatic interactions between cationic porphyrins and Ti 3 C 2 T X . Various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques are used to characterize the two hybrids, which show enhanced stability against oxidation and a pH dependent release of the porphyrins.
