Abstract

The development of highly efficient photonic nanomaterials with synergistic biological effects is critical and challenging task for public hygiene health well-being and has attracted extensive interest. In this study, a type of near-infrared (NIR) driven, virus-like heterojunction was first developed for synergistic biological application. The Ag-coated Bi₂CO₅ nanomaterial (BOCO@Ag) demonstrated good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, high antibacterial activity and excellent light utilization stability. The synthesized BOCO@Ag performed a potential high photothermal conversion (efficiency~46.81%) to generate high temperatures when irradiated with near-infrared light illumination. As expected, compared to single Ag+ disinfection, BOCO@Ag can exhibit better antibacterial performance when combined with photothermal energy and released Ag+ . These results suggest that BOCO@Ag can be a promising photo-activate antimicrobial candidate and provide security for humans health and the environment treatment.

Keywords: Antimicrobial application; BOCO@Ag; Facile synthesized strategy; Virus-like heterojunction.
