This study revealed a new mechanism for photocatalytic degradation of highly toxic Cr(VI)
.

Wang Jianlong’s team learned from the natural world the optimal law of material transport-Murray's Law, and proposed a reasonable design of conductive network structure to achieve rapid charge transfer strategy, which not only greatly improved the photogenerated charge transfer efficiency, but also successfully induced The photogenerated electrons migrate across the interface to MXene nanosheets for photocatalytic degradation of highly toxic Cr(VI)

Abstract
Photogenerated charge separation and directional transfer to active sites are pivotal steps in photocatalysis, which limit the efficiency of redox reactions.

Here, a conductive network and dipole field are employed to harness photogenerated charge kinetics by using a Ti ₃ C ₂ /TiO ₂ network (TTN).
The TTN exhibits a prolonged charge-carrier lifetime (1.
