MXene-Decorated Nylon Mesh Filters for Improvement of Indoor Air Quality by PM_2.5 Filtration.

ABSTRACT: Air pollution is a problem that is increasing day by day and poses a threat on a global scale. Particulate matter (PM) is one of the air pollutants that is the biggest concern regarding air quality. In order to control PM pollution, highly effective air filters are required. This is especially necessary for PM with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers (PM_2.5), which poses a health risk to humans. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time the use of a two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti₃C₂) MXene nanosheets-decorated nylon mesh (MDNM) as a low cost and highly efficient PM_2.5 filter. This study develops a proof-of-concept method to capture PM_2.5. Thanks to their high specific surface area and active surface-terminating groups,
