Efficient Prevention of Aspergillus flavus Spores Spread in Air Using Plasmonic Ag-AgCl/α-Fe2O3 under Visible Light Irradiation

Di Sun et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated a rapid and efficient control method to prevent the spread of Aspergillus flavus spores in air using plasmonic composites. The composites, composed of Ag-AgCl nanoparticles and tetrahedral alpha-Fe2O3, showed a prevention rate of 93.65 +/- 1.53% under visible light irradiation. The prevention activity was attributed to the intrinsic disinfection, electron sink, and localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag. The composites also exhibited high activity (90.52 +/- 1.26%) in preventing Aspergillus flavus spore spread during peanut storage. These findings provide useful strategies for preventing Aspergillus flavus contamination and controlling toxic fungi.
