SKSanaa Mohammed Abdu KaidKAKhaled AlkanadNANael Abutaha

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop an efficient photocatalyst for antibacterial applications that can combat multidrug-resistant bacteria using visible light.
  • Engineered a 2D nanostructure combining g-C₃N₄, Co₃O₄, and Ag with plasmonic properties.
  • Conducted visible-light photocatalytic experiments to assess antibacterial efficacy.
  • Analyzed the structural and optical properties of the photocatalyst.
  • Demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity under visible light compared to traditional methods.
  • Achieved significant reduction in bacterial viability against model multidrug-resistant strains.
  • Showed improved structural stability and photocatalytic activity over multiple cycles.

Abstract

The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has created an urgent need for safe and efficient antimicrobial strategies. Here, we present a rationally engineered 2D plasmonic photocatalyst based on g-C₃N₄ nanosheets...
