Rapid antibacterial effect of sunlight-exposed silicon nanowire arrays modified with Au/Ag alloy nanoparticles
Abstract
The continuing emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria due to the excessive use of antibiotics has produced a strong demand for novel strategies and new materials that do not lead to bacterial resistance. In the present work silicon nanowire arrays modified with gold-silver alloy nanoparticles (SN-Au/Ag) was investigated as a photo-induced antibacterial material. It was shown that SN-Au/Ag can kill bacteria with high efficiency under …
