Abstract:
The antimicrobial agent includes at least one two-dimensional metal carbide layer. The two-dimensional metal carbide has the formula Ti n+1 C n T x , where T represents a terminal functional group and x represents the number of terminal functional groups. The two-dimensional metal carbide is preferably Ti 3 C 2 T x . The terminating group may be oxygen, hydroxide (OH), fluorine or combinations thereof. The antimicrobial agent may be used as a two-dimensional metal carbide antimicrobial membrane ( 10 ) or filter for removal of harmful bacteria, such as  E. coli  and  B. subtilis . A stack of two-dimensional metal carbide layers ( 14 ) may be supported on a polymer filter substrate ( 12 ), such as a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) supporting substrate.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of treating water according to  claim 9 , wherein said step of adding nanosheets of the antimicrobial agent according to  claim 3  further comprises adding the nanosheets to obtain a concentration of about 200 \u03bcg/ml.
