“…In the history of human survival and development, epidemics caused by pathogens such as viruses and bacteria have always posed a severe threat to human health. [1][2][3][4] Therefore, the development of efficient antibacterial materials is imminent. In addition, due to the overuse of antibiotics, especially against Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Grampositive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), bacterial resistance to currently available bacteriostatic agents is increasing.…”

Exploring new antibacterial materials is of great significance for limiting the transmission of germs and protecting human health. Although Ag and oxide nanoparticles have both been extensively used in the field of antibacterial, it is still urgently need to figure out how to combine their characteristics for sterilization. Herein, ZnO/In2O3‐Ag nanofibers are prepared with uniformly dispersed Ag through a facile method of electrospinning and subsequent sintering. The obtained nanofibers are of high purity and have diameters from 90 to 110 nm. The silver is in a zero‐valent state, which is beneficial for sterilization. The quantitative test of bacterial activity shows that the nanofibers are bactericidal for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with an especially strong inhibitory effect on E. coli. At relatively low concentrations, 98% of E. coli can be killed. Herein, light is shed on exploring more complexes of oxide nanomaterials and Ag for sterilization.

“…Infecting cells is necessary for a virus in order for it to replicate itself. Therefore, inhibiting the contact between the virus and the host cell is an efficient strategy for preventing recurrent infection (Xu et al, 2022). Some research indicated that CBNPs could effectively capture and interact with viruses.…”

Drug-resistant bacteria and highly infectious viruses are among the major global threats affecting the human health. There is an immediate need for novel strategies to tackle this challenge. Copper-based nanoparticles (CBNPs) have exhibited a broad antimicrobial capacity and are receiving increasing attention in this context. In this review, we describe the functionalization of CBNPs, elucidate their antibacterial and antiviral activity as well as applications, and briefly review their toxicity, biodistribution, and persistence. The limitations of the current study and potential solutions are also shortly discussed. The review will guide the rational design of functional nanomaterials for antimicrobial application.

“…Studies have revealed that some metallic and carbon-based nanomaterials like silver nanoparticles, graphene oxide, and carbon dots exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral properties. 11–17 Among them, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a kind of carbon dot (CD) have emerged as very potent antiviral nano-agents due to their low toxicity, extensive precursor sources, low cost, simple synthesis and ease of industrialization. 18–22 Basically, GQDs are ultra-small pieces of graphene consisting of one or a few layers (no more than 10) of graphene, and they share many properties with carbon quantum dots and graphene.…”
