Type Materials Substrate Synthesis Procedure Microbial Type Antibacterial Mechanism Antimicrobial Activity Special Characteristics Ref.
Chalcogenide-based nFeS H2O2 (50 mM) Solvothermal method S. mutans, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. enteritidis, S. aureus and multidrug-resistant (MDR) S. aureus Nano-iron sulfides accelerate the release of hydrogen polysulfanes to inhibit enzyme activity, degrade DNA, and accelerate ROS generation Kill bacteria with 3-log reduction of viability (from 107 to 104 CFU mL−1) within 10 min The main antibacterial ingredient is polysulfane, H2O2 improves release, broad-spectrum antibacterial [241]
PEG-MoS2 NFs H2O2 (100 mM), GSH Facile one-pot hydrothermal route Ampicillin-resistant (Ampr) E. coli, B. subtilis Accelerates GSH oxidation to destroy cell protection system, generates ROS Exposure to the 808 nm laser for 10 min, the bacteria inactivation percentages are 97% (Ampr E. coli) and 100% (B. subtilis), the statistical loss of GSH after 6h is 73.4% Synergistic treatment of POD and PTT, low concentration H2O2, controllable [168]
UNMS NCs H2O2 (140 μM) 1, Ice bath
2, Vacuum drying
Ampr E. coli, MRSA Generates ROS, induce membrane stress and damage cell integrity, accelerate GSH oxidation The capture efficiency of UNMS NCs was about 22.8% (AREC) and 35.4% (MRSA), in the presence of H2O2, reduce bacterial viability: AREC (99.7%), MRSA (96.7%) Positive charge trapping, POD/PTT/Photodynamic triple-therapy [243]
MoS2@TA/Fe H2O2 (100 μM) Temperature requirement: 220 °C S. aureus, E. coli Generates ROS, accelerates GSH oxidation, alleviates hypoxia removes excess ROS and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) Reduction of survival = ~ 100% (S. aureus and E. coli), SEM: Bacterial surface roughening and wrinkling Combine PTT, GSH loss, and POD/CAT-like activity, anti-inflammatory [245]
R-CMs H2O2 (100 μM) One-pot hydrothermal method S. aureus, E. coli Surface-adhering bacteria, generates ROS SEM: Bacterial surface roughening and wrinkling Rough surface increases the adhesion to bacteria, POD-like activity, PTT [246]
