Bimetal-Driven Nucleotide Nanosheets for Spontaneously Enhanced Antibacterial and Protective Coatings

Abstract

The propagation of pathogenic bioaerosols leads to severe respiratory ailments in humans, posing a significant risk to public health. At present, most personal protective equipment (PPE) utilized to prevent the transmission and infection of pathogenic bioaerosols lacks antimicrobial functionality. Herein, the antibacterial nanosheets (Co-GMP@AgNSs) were designed and synthesized to coordinate guanosine monophosphate (GMP) with Co ions to form nanosheets by solvent-thermal strategy, followed by in situ growth of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
