Photographs and antibacterial activity of reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆ NCs after different treatments. (A, C) Photographs and (B, D) survival rates of treated E. coli and S.aureus after exposed to (I) Control, (II) Reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆, (III) H₂O₂, (IV) Reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆+ H₂O₂, (V) Control+NIR, (VI) Reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆+NIR, (VII) H₂O₂ +NIR, and (VIII) GdW₁₀O₃₆ + H₂O₂ +NIR. Conditions: 200 µg/mL reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆, 200 µM H₂O₂, 1 W/cm² 808 nm laser and 15 min. P values were based on the Student's test: *P < 0.05, and **P < 0.01.
