Surface reduction boosts free electron concentration in MXene for enhanced photothermal performance
achieves a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 91.66% under 808-nanometer laser irradiation. A photothermal antibacterial woundplast with ultralow MXene content demonstrates a high bacterial kill rate. This work not only shows an effective method for tuning the photothermal properties of MXenes but also inspires applications that require tailored surface chemistry and high electron concentration.
