In the present work, facile preparation of MXenes based nanocomposite (MXene-CNTs) through catalytic chemical vapor deposition (cCVD) was demonstrated. The novel design of two and one-dimensional (2D/1D) MXene-CNTs composites for an extraordinary photocatalytic process for removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) using efficient photocatalytic dye degradations was compared to the performance of pure MXene. The surface morphological behavior of MAX, MXene and MXene-CNTs rational design of surface microstructure CNTs anchored on 2D materials MXene nanosheets product was characterized employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As-prepared direct growth CNTs by employing CVD method were in the size ranges of 40–90 nm as revealed from SEM images. The crystallographic structures of etching and delaminations of MAX and MXene-CNTs were observed for CNTs diffracted peaks at 2θ = 25.11° in support of (002) plan. The major C–O and (C C) stretching were confirmed. Prepared MXene and MXene-CNTs samples photocatalytic performance was investigated through photocatalytic Rhodamine B (RhB) dye degradation. MXene-based CNTs hybrid nanocomposites photocatalysts activity were estimated. The as-prepared pure MXene-RhB and MXene-CNTs-RhB materials calculated efficiency were 60 % and 75 %, respectively. The CVD preparations of new MXene-CNTs synthesis yield high and explored good successive cycles for hazardous pollutants.
