A Strategy to Design Cu₂MoS₄@MXene Composite With High Photothermal Conversion Efficiency Based on Electron Transfer Regulatory Effect.

ABSTRACT: Using photothermal therapy to treat cancer has become an effective method, and the design of photothermal agents determines their performance. However, due to the major radiative recombination of a photogenerated electron in photothermal materials, the photothermal performance is weak which hinders their applications. In order to solve this issue, preventing radiative recombination and accelerating nonradiative recombination, which can generate heat, has been proved as a reasonable way. We demonstrated a Cu₂MoS₄@MXene nanocomposite with an obviously enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 87.98%), and this improvement can be attributed to the electron migration. Then, a mechanism is proposed based on the electron transfer regulatory effect and the loca
