Europium-Dope Nanoarchitectonics as H2O2 Generators and Photo-Responsive Antibacterial Material
摘要
The water dependent photodynamic antibacterial materials have wide applications in hypoxic environment. Polymerized 5,6-dihydroxyindole (lnd) can be mimics of siderphores for selective bacterial recognition. To develop bacterial targeting H2O2 generators, Eu(III) doped nanoarchitectonics (BPEu@lnd) was synthesized by integrating europium-doped black phosphorus nanosheets with in-situ oxidative polymerization of lnd. Structural and optical characterizations confirmed broad-spectrum light absorption. The decreased band gap of BPEu@lnd (1.84 eV) indicates a significant improvement in light absorption and conversion ability. Under red LED light irradiation, BPEu@lnd can convert water into H2O2. Additionally, this composite exhibited biofilm penetration capabilities, enabling targeted antibacterial action. This work indicates BPEu@lnd can be LED initiated photoresponsive H2O2 generators and antibacterial material for bacterial treatment in hypoxic environments.
