In-situ self-assembly of sandwich-like Ti3C2 MXene/gold nanorods nanosheets for synergistically enhanced near-infrared responsive drug delivery

As a novel two-dimensional material, Ti 3 C 2 MXenes has attracted lots of attention in biomedical filed for its large surface area and excellent near-infrared (NIR) responsiveness. In this paper, an in-situ growth and self-assembly approach was employed to combine gold nanorods (GNRs) with Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets to prepare intelligent sandwich-like Ti 3 C 2 @GNRs/PDA/Ti 3 C 2 nanohybrids. Compared with Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets, in-situ growth Ti 3 C 2...
