Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has become a fundamental tool in modern
therapeutics, notably due to the expanding versatility of photosensitizers (PSs) and the …

Multidrug‐resistant pathogens are one of the common causes of death in burn patients and
have a high risk of nosocomial infections, especially pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and …

Carbon nanomaterials have increasingly gained the attention of the nano-, photo-and
biomedical communities owing to their unique photophysical properties. Here, we facilely …

Faced with the emergence and proliferation of antibiotic resistant pathogens, novel
nonspecific materials and approaches are required. Herein, we employed electrospinning …

This study aims to develop photoactive coatings based on carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and
waterborne polyurethane (WPU), capable of preventing the formation of bacterial biofilms …

In this study, quasi-spherical carbon dots (CDs) with a white appearance were synthesized
from acetate and zinc (Z). The size of the CDs was less than 10 nm and− 11.4 mV zeta …

For the purpose of developing self-disinfecting photodynamic textiles with enhanced
antibacterial activity, here we report a scalable and facile method to immobilize the long …

With the aim of developing self-disinfecting materials to prevent pathogen transmission from
surfaces to new hosts, here we report a simple and eco-friendly way to prepare …

The dual threats posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and hospital-acquired infections (HAIs)
have emphasized the urgent need for self-disinfecting materials for infection control. Despite …

Ligand-functionalized InP-based quantum dots (QDs) have been developed as an
innovative class of nontoxic photosensitizer suitable for antimicrobial applications, aimed at …
