2D Superparamagnetic Tantalum Carbide Composite MXenes for Efficient Breast-Cancer Theranostics.

ABSTRACT: Background: The emergence of two-dimensional MXenes has spurred their versatile applications in broad fields, but the exploring of novel MXene-based family members and their potential applications in theranostic nanomedicine (concurrent diagnostic imaging and therapy) have been rarely explored. In this work, we report the construction of a novel superparamagnetic MXene-based theranostic nanoplatform for efficient breast-cancer theranostics, which was based on intriguing tantalum carbide (Ta₄C₃) MXene and its further rational surface-superparamagnetic iron-oxide functionalization (Ta₄C₃-IONP-SPs composite MXenes) for efficient breast-cancer theranostic. Methods: The fabrication of ultrathin Ta₄C₃ nanosheets was
