Abstract
in the presence of visible light. Furthermore, the SEM study confirmed the bactericidal effect of these Sdots-treated fabrics. Moreover, this study might help explore the photocatalytic disinfection application of Sdots in diverse locations of interest, Sdots-based photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy application, and provide an opportunity to develop Sdots as a visible light photocatalyst for organic transformations and other promising applications.
