  • 简介:AbstractPathogenic bacterial infection is severely threatening public health globally. The multi-modal antibacterial nanoplatforms could significantly improve the antibacterial efficiency. Here, we report a metal(Ti)-organic framework (MOF) derived nanocarbon (C-Ti-MOF) as a biosafety material for synergistic sterilization of pathogenic bacteria via efficient photodynamic catalysis and robust photothermal effects. The C-Ti-MOF consists of abundant TiO2 nanodots embedded in graphitic carbon frameworks. Under visible light irradiation, TiO2 nanodots can catalyze H2O2 and O2 to produce superoxide anion (·O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2), respectively. Meanwhile, under near-infrared irradiation (NIR), C-Ti-MOF can generate massive heat to destroy bacterial membranes. Systematic antibacterial experiments reveal that the C-Ti-MOF nanoagents have a long-lasting and nearly 100% bactericidal ratio at an extremely low dose (0.16 mg/mL), which is much better than the state-of-the-art TiO2 (Commercial TiO2 (P25), 0.64 mg/mL). Furthermore, the C-Ti-MOF can be electrospun into an antibacterial nanofiber membrane via mixing with polymeric matrix for treating bacteria-contaminated wastewater, and the membranes possess integrated antibacterial activity and excellent biocompatibility. Our study demonstrates a promising Ti-MOF-based biosafety material for efficient and long-life disinfection, which may stimulate new research in MOF-related biological applications in various disciplines ranging from water decontaminations to nanotherapeutics.
