This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the …

Excessive and unwarranted administration of antibiotics has invigorated the evolution of
multidrug‐resistant microbes. There is, therefore, an urgent need for advanced active …

Herein, we present a phosphorescent cationized cellulose derivative by simply introducing
ionic structures, including cyanomethylimidazolium cations and chloride anions, into …

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) belong to a well-known class of cationic
biocides with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. They are used as essential …

Ionic liquids are remarkable chemical compounds, which find applications in many areas of
modern science. Because of their highly tunable nature and exceptional properties, ionic …

We review recent works on the synthesis and application of poly (ionic liquid) s (PILs). Novel
