Facet-dependent gold nanocrystals for effective photothermal killing of bacteria

Sibidou Yougbare et al.

Summary: Gold-based plasmonic nanocrystals, specifically gold nanobipyramids with (111) plane, showed higher photothermal performance compared to gold nanorods with (200) plane in noninvasive photothermal therapy, as demonstrated by experimental studies and density function theory (DFT) simulations. Water desorption energy on the Au(111) surface was found to be lower than on the Au(100) surface, indicating easier desorption for photothermal heating. Additionally, AuNBPs with (111) plane exhibited higher efficiency in photothermal therapy against Escherichia coli (E. coli) under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation compared to AuNRs.

Phase-Dependent MoS2 Nanoflowers for Light-Driven Antibacterial Application

Chinmaya Mutalik et al.

Summary: Metallic phase 1T-MoS2 nanoflowers and semiconducting phase 2H-MoS2 nanoflowers were prepared through a solvothermal and combustion method, demonstrating antibacterial activities and mechanisms against Escherichia coli under light irradiation. The metallic 1T-MoS2 nanoflowers showed higher light-driven antibacterial activity compared to the semiconducting 2H-MoS2 nanoflowers, with EPR spectroscopy confirming the generation of ROS due to photoinduced electrons from the metallic nanoflowers. Photoinduced electrons from metallic 1T-MoS2 nanoflowers reacted with oxygen to induce bacterial death, while rapid recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes in the semiconducting 2H-MoS2 nanoflowers resulted in decreased ROS generation and diminished antibacterial activity.
