Abstract
Microbial contamination of water represents a great threat to the public health that has attracted worldwide attention. In this work, polypyrrole magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PPy NPs) with sterilization properties were fabricated. More specifically, the Fe3O4@PPy NPs obtained via aqueous dispersion polymerization and an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization exhibited a cationic surface and high photothermal conversion efficiency. More than 50% of bacteria adsorption can be achieved at a dosage of 100 μg/mL Fe3O4@PPy NPs under magnetic field, and high photothermal sterilization efficacy (~100%) can be obtained upon NIR exposure at the same dosage for 10 min. Noteworthy, the Fe3O4@PPy NPs can be recycled by magnetism and reused without affecting their photothermal sterilization capability. This study clearly provides experimental evidence of the great potential of Fe3O4@PPy NPs as stable and reusable nanocomposite materials for bacteria adsorption and photothermal sterilization performance. The application of Fe3O4@PPy NPs can realize enviromental-friendly bacterial contaminated water treatment as well as provide stratgies for synergistical antibacterial materials design.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
