Abstract
was not found as a decisive factor in microbial mutilation. SEM images affirmed the significance of the specific geometrical shape and its resultant attachment to bacterial surface to be of paramount significance. The sharp-tip morphology with high-atom density active {111} facets played a pivotal role in physically deteriorating bacterial cells. Ag-Tri morphology in synchronization with ROS species assisted its wedging into the bacterial cell, translating into superior and multifaceted antibacterial performance.
