Abstract
). Besides, CQD@Ag/MXene showed excellent reusability which even retained about 65% activity in successive 10 cycles. The high adsorption rate to PNP and the promotion of forming H radicals may be the reason for the outstanding catalytic activity of CQD@Ag/MXene. CQD@Ag/MXene can be a potential candidate in the removal of environmental pollutants due to its facile synthesis and high catalytic efficiency.
