Synthesis of Ag@CuO nanohybrids and their photo-enhanced bactericidal effect through concerted Ag ion release and reactive oxygen species generation
He Li, Yu Zou, Jiang Jiang
Abstract
Ag@CuO core–shell nanohybrids exhibit a synergistic photo-enhanced bactericidal effect, due to concerted Ag<sup>+</sup>release and enhanced<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>generation.
