Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes by AgNPs/TiO₂/Ti₃C₂T _x MXene Composites under UV and Solar Light.

ABSTRACT: Due to their broad applications in various industrial activities, and their well-known negative impacts on the aquatic environment, organic dyes have been continuously identified as serious threat to the quality of ecosystems. The photocatalytic degradation process in aqueous solutions has emerged as an efficient and reliable approach for the removal of organic dyes. MXenes, a new class of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, possess unique chemical composition, surface functionalities, and physicochemical properties. Such characteristics enable MXenes to act as efficient catalysts or cocatalysts to photodegrade organic molecules. This work explores the application of Ti₃C₂T _x MXene decorated with silver and palladium nanoparticles, using a simple hyd
