A novel full solar light spectrum responsive antimicrobial agent of WS₂ quantum dots for photocatalytic wound healing therapy

Abstract

Photocatalytic antimicrobial therapy (PCAT) is considered as a potential treatment for bacteria-infected diseases. However, the antibacterial efficiency is unsatisfactory due to the limited application scope of photocatalysis. In this work,...

Inorganic-Nanomaterial-Composited Hydrogel Dressings for Wound Healing

“…Consequently, they have emerged as a promising nanoplatform with vast potential for biomedical applications. In recent years, CuS [148,149], MoS 2 [150,151], Ag 2 S [152,153], WS 2 [154,155], etc., have been widely used as photodynamic and photothermal therapeutic agents for promoting bacteria-infected wound healing.…”

Fast detection of Staphylococcus aureus using thiol-functionalized WS2 quantum dots and Bi2O2Se nanosheets hybrid through a fluorescence recovery mechanism

“…[35][36][37][38][39] TMD NSs and QDs have also been investigated in various antibacterial and antifungal activities to kill Grampositive and negative bacteria, such as E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. [40][41][42][43][44] Due to their excellent properties, 2D WS 2 QDs are also utilized in sensing applications, but their utilization in the detection of bacteria has not yet been explored. 45,46 In the mechanism of FL enhancement based sensing, a fluorescence quencher is required, which absorbs emissions from the probe and quenches the probe's FL emission intensity.…”
