Recent Developments in Accelerated Antibacterial Inactivation on 2D Cu-Titania Surfaces under Indoor Visible Light

Abstract: This review focuses on Cu/TiO 2 sequentially sputtered and Cu-TiO 2 co-sputtered catalytic/photocatalytic surfaces that lead to bacterial inactivation, discussing their stability, synthesis, adhesion, and antibacterial kinetics. The intervention of TiO 2 , Cu, and the synergic effect of Cu and TiO 2 on films prepared by a colloidal sol-gel method leading to bacterial inactivation is reviewed. Processes in aerobic and anaerobic media leading to bacterial loss of viability in multidrug resistant (MDR) pathogens,… Show more

“…Among several transition metals, copper has gained considerable attention, both as dispersions and, in the case of elemental copper and as alloys [10,17,18]. For use as antibacterial agents, copper and its compounds achieve antibacterial activity by the accumulation of copper ions within cells, eventually causing degradation of cell membranes [19][20][21]. Using titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) as a precursor and H2O2 as a peptizing agent, previous studies have proposed a peroxo sol-gel method for the synthesis of neutral TiO2 sol [22][23][24][25].…”

“…The results are listed in Table 1. The presence of copper slightly decreased the crystallite size of TiO2, which was attributed to the inhibition of titania condensation and the crystallization in the Cu-doped system [21]. Morphology of the as-prepared samples was investigated using TEM and HRTEM.…”
