With the rapid development of global economy and industrialization, the management and protection of water resources have become increasingly important. In this paper, a novel three-dimensional Chitosan/Fe 3 O 4 /TiO 2 @MXene photocatalyst with excellent degradation and bacterial inhibition properties was prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method using FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O, Chitosan (CS) and MXene (Ti 3 C 2 ) as main raw materials. TiO 2 was generated in-situ on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets and modified by loading Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and CS films. The conformations and band gaps of the composites were modified, and then photocatalytic mechanisms, phase compositions, morphological structures, magnetic properties and photoelectrochemical properties of the photocatalysts were systematically analyzed. The degradation efficiency of the CS/Fe 3 O 4 /TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composite photocatalyst can reach 95.9 % when the ration of CS to FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O is 1:3 and the hydrothermal temperature is 180 °C, which showing excellent photocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, the inhibition rate of Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) is close to 98.91 % under the light condition. This study further reveals that visible light is a cost-effective way to treat pollution in terms of degradation and bacteriostatic inhibition, and the composite photocatalysts can be efficiently recycled and reused under the action of a magnetic field.

Acetone sensors continue to command significant attention as a robust platform for emissions control, industrial safety monitor, and diagnostic analysis of human exhaled gas for diabetes monitoring. This study presents the design and fabrication of an ultra-narrowband, interdigital capacitor (IDC)-based three-level split ring resonator (TSRR) microwave gas sensor for rapid acetone detection. MXene-TiO 2 composites with varying mass ratios were deposited onto the resonator surface to evaluate the gas-sensitive properties of TiO 2 /MXene materials across acetone concentrations of 10–500 ppm. Results demonstrate that the microwave acetone sensor incorporating the TiO 2 /MXene (3 wt%) composite exhibits exceptional performance: high sensitivity (1544 mdB/ppm), rapid response and recovery durations (130 s and 140 s, respectively), superior selectivity, and excellent stability under high-humidity conditions—significantly surpassing existing microwave gas sensors. Furthermore, the gas-sensing mechanism was elucidated through impedance-matching circle diagrams corresponding to varying acetone concentrations. MXene materials, renowned for their expansive specific surface area, exhibit considerable promise in gas sensing applications, particularly for room-temperature acetone detection with high selectivity and sensitivity extending to ppb concentrations. This investigation introduces a novel paradigm for room-temperature acetone gas detection, as evidenced by the development of triboelectric plasma-regulated high-sensitivity sensors.
