Abstract:In this work, a novel strategy for preparing Ga‐doped TiO2 composite aerogel antibacterial agent through the sol‐gel method and supercritical technology is demonstrated. The specific surface area of the samples was as high as 175 m2/g and exhibited a three‐dimensional network structure with a multistage pore distribution. The obtained antibacterial agent combines the phototoxicity of TiO2 and photo‐independent toxicity of Ga3+ and structural properties of aerogels, showing a synergistic antibacterial effect.
