Graphene sponge electrodes were employed for chlorine-free inactivation of Escherichia coli from low conductivity water. The nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO) sponge anode bearing more positive charge achieved complete E. coli…
Low-cost reduced graphene oxide sponges functionalized with manganese oxide were used as electrodes for the disinfection of Escherichia coli in water. Manganese oxide was doped with amino groups MnxOyNH2 to strengthen the bond with the…
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection becomes one of the most serious risks to public health care today. However, discouragingly, the development of new antibiotics has been little progressed over the last decade. There is an urgent need…
A Rapid and cost-effective method for detecting bacterial cells on surfaces is critical to protect public health from various aspects, including food safety, clinical hygiene, and pharmacy quality. Herein, we first established an optical…
Low-cost graphene sponge electrodes were functionalized with two-dimensional (2D) materials, i.e., borophene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), using a one-step, hydrothermal self-assembly method. Borophene and hBN-modified graphene sponge…
Graphene-based sponges doped with atomic nitrogen and boron were applied for the electrochemical degradation of persistent organic contaminants in one-pass, flow-through mode, and in a low-conductivity supporting electrolyte. The B-doped…
Boron-doped, graphene sponge anode was synthesized and applied for the electrochemical oxidation of C4-C8 per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Removal efficiencies, obtained in low conductivity electrolyte (1 mS cm-1) and one-pass…
Antimicrobial biomaterials are critical to aid in the regeneration of oral soft tissue and prevent or treat localised bacterial infections. With the rising trend in antibiotic resistance, there is a pressing clinical need for new…
Despite long-term efforts for exploring antibacterial agents or drugs, it remains challenging how to potentiate antibacterial activity and meanwhile minimize toxicity hazards to the environment. Here, we experimentally show that the…
The lack of rapid antibiotic susceptibility tests adversely affects the treatment of bacterial infections and contributes to increased prevalence of multidrug resistant bacteria. Here, we describe an all-electrical approach that allows for…
We propose for the first time an E. coli bacteria sensor based on the evanescent field of the fundamental mode of a suspended-core terahertz fiber. The sensor is capable of E. coli detection at concentrations in the range of 104-109 cfu/ml.…
Drug resistant bacteria, prions and nosocomial infections underline the need of more effective sterilizing technologies. The cold plasma technology is expected to bring a benefit in this context. Six different plasma sources, based on…
An electrospun membrane for vascular stent coating made of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine and butyl methacrylate copolymer (MPC-co-BMA), also known as (PMB), reinforced with functionalized and nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide…
High surface area graphene sheets were obtained by electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in an acid media under constant potential conditions. Filtration and centrifugation processes played an important role in order to obtain stable…
Photodynamically active fibres (PAFs) are a novel class of stimulus-sensitive systems capable of triggering antibiotic-free antibacterial effect on-demand when exposed to light. Despite their relevance in infection control, however, the…
The multidrug resistant Escherichia coli strains causes multiple clinical infections and has become a rising problem globally. The metallo-\b{eta}-lactamases encoding genes are very severe in gram-negative bacteria especially E. coli. This…
Hospital-acquired infections are considered a priority for public health systems, which poses a significant burden for society. High-touch surfaces of healthcare centers, including textiles, provide a suitable environment for pathogenic…
Bacterial infectious diseases are a major threat to human health. Timely and sensitive pathogenic bacteria detection is crucial in identifying the bacterial contaminations and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Due to limitations…
Graphene oxide finds applications in different fields of science, including energy conversion. Electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) significantly improves its conductivity. However, the kinetics of this process depends on the…
