a. Preparation of TRB-ZnO@G nanosheets. b. XPS spectrum of Zn 2p in TRB-ZnO@G. c. Schematic illustration of phase-to-size transformation of TRB-ZnO@G induced by NIR light, from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity, bacteria was wrapped inside the TRB-ZnO@G due to the aggregation of TRB-ZnO@G and bacteria (S. aureus and E. coli). d. Real-time OD₆₀₀ values of S. aureus treated with different treatments (PBS, TRB-G, ZnO@G and TRB-ZnO@G). P-values correspond the date after 6 h, *P < 0.05. e. Schematic illustration of antibacterial measurements of TRB-ZnO@G with NIR light for wound healing based on rabbit model. f. Representative figures of wound sites in rabbits after treatment 14 days: the top was the wound treated with saline plus NIR light, the bottom was the wound treated with TRB-ZnO@G plus NIR light. The two right figures were bacterial colony-forming units of S. aureus from the wound after treatments. Cited and reproduced from the reference [64].
