Abstract
Although precise regulation of the crystalline structures of metal oxides is an effective method to improve their antibacterial activities, the corresponding mechanisms involved in this process are still unclear. In this study, three kinds of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) samples with different structures of cubes, octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra (c-Cu2O, o-Cu2O, and r-Cu2O) have been successfully synthesized and their antibacterial activities are compared. The antibacterial activities follow the order of r-Cu2O > o-Cu2O > c-Cu2O, revealing the significant dependence of the antibacterial activities on the crystalline structures of Cu2O. Quenching experiments, as well as the NBT and DPD experiments indicate that ≡CuII─OO• superoxo and ≡CuII─OOH peroxo, instead of •OH, O2•-, and H2O2, are the primary oxidizing species in the oxidative damage to E. coli. Raman analysis further confirms the presence of both ≡CuII─OO• superoxo and ≡CuII─OOH peroxo on the surface of r-Cu2O. On the other hand, the NCP experiment reveals that Cu+, instead of Cu2+, also contributes to the antibacterial process. This study provides new insight into the antibacterial mechanisms of Cu2O.

Facile route for preparation of cuprous oxide/copper/cupric oxide nanoparticles by using simultaneous electrochemical and reduction reaction. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25195. [PMID: 38352799 PMCID: PMC10862522 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Cuprous oxide/copper/cupric oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through a hybrid process involving anodic dissolution and a controlled redox reaction between NaOH and glucose in the solution. The study demonstrates the structural manipulation of the material by varying the reaction components within the solution. Morphology, structural analyses using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), EDX (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) unveiled the tunability of the material's structure based on the reaction components. Nitrogen adsorption analysis employing the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) equation confirmed the material's porosity, while Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements provided insights into the materials' hydrodynamic size and zeta potential. The results demonstrated that by increasing the glucose/NaOH ratio during the reaction, the different structures and morphologies of the distinct products were obtained from the clustering of small nanoparticles to cubic shape and flower-like structure. Antibacterial activity tests conducted on various bacterial strains showed a correlation between the morphology and structure of the material and its antibacterial properties. The highest substantial antibacterial efficacy against all tested bacterial strains at a dosage of 100 μg/L was obtained for the samples with clustering morphology, whereas the remaining materials showed no discernible antibacterial effect against one of the studied bacteria. The results also demonstrated that the sample with a clustering structure exhibited superior antibacterial properties when dispersed in water containing dimethylsulfoxide.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on the surfaces of synthetic materials imposes a significant burden in various fields, which can lead to infections in patients or reduce the service life of industrial devices. Therefore, there is increasing interest in imbuing surfaces with antibacterial properties. Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces with high water contact angles (>150°) exhibit excellent surface repellency against contaminations, thereby preventing initial bacterial adhesion and inhibiting biofilm formation. However, conventional superhydrophobic surfaces typically lack long-term durability and are incapable of achieving persistent efficacy against bacterial adhesion. To overcome these limitations, in recent decades, dual-function superhydrophobic antibacterial surfaces with both bacteria-repelling and bacteria-killing properties have been developed by introducing bactericidal components. These surfaces have demonstrated improved long-term antibacterial performance in addressing the issues associated with surface-attached bacteria. This review summarizes the recent advancements of these dual-function superhydrophobic antibacterial surfaces. First, a brief overview of the fabrication strategies and bacteria-repelling mechanism of superhydrophobic surfaces is provided and then the dual-function superhydrophobic antibacterial surfaces are classified into three types based on the bacteria-killing mechanism: i) mechanotherapy, ii) chemotherapy, and iii) phototherapy. Finally, the limitations and challenges of current research are discussed and future perspectives in this promising area are proposed.

Abstract
Surface contamination by microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria may simultaneously aggravate the biofouling of surfaces and infection of wounds and promote cross-species transmission and the rapid evolution of microbes in emerging diseases. In addition, natural surface structures with unique anti-biofouling properties may be used as guide templates for the development of functional antimicrobial surfaces. Further, these structure-related antimicrobial surfaces can be categorized into microbicidal and anti-biofouling surfaces. This review introduces the recent advances in the development of microbicidal and anti-biofouling surfaces inspired by natural structures and discusses the related antimicrobial mechanisms, surface topography design, material application, manufacturing techniques, and antimicrobial efficiencies.

Abstract
Considering the global spread of bacterial infections, the development of anti-biofilm surfaces with high antimicrobial activities is highly desired. This work unraveled a simple, sonochemical method for coating Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) on three different flexible substrates: polyester (PE), nylon 2 (N2), and polyethylene (PEL). The introduction of Cu2O NPs on these substrates enhanced their surface hydrophobicity, induced ROS generation, and completely inhibited the growth of sensitive (Escherichia coli and Staphyloccocus aureus) and drug-resistant (MDR E. coli and MRSA) planktonic and biofilm. The experimental results confirmed that Cu2O-PE exhibited complete biofilm mass reduction ability for all four strains, whereas Cu2O-N2 showed more than 99% biomass inhibition against both drug-resistant and sensitive pathogens in 6 h. Moreover, Cu2O-PEL also indicated a 99.95, 97.73, 98.00, and 99.20% biomass reduction of MRSA, MDR E. coli, E. coli, and S. aureus, respectively. All substrates were investigated for time-dependent inhibitions, and the associated biofilm mass and log reduction were evaluated. The mechanisms of Cu2O NP action against the mature biofilms include the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as electrostatic interaction between Cu2O NPs and bacterial membranes. The current study could pave the way for the commercialization of sonochemically coated Cu2O NP flexible substrates for the prevention of microbial contamination in hospitals and industrial environments.

Abstract
Biomaterial-associated infections caused by pathogenic bacteria have important implications on human health. This study presents the design and preparation of a smart surface with pH-responsive wettability. The smart surface exhibited synergistic antibacterial function, with high liquid repellency against bacterial adhesion and highly effective bactericidal activity. The wettability of the surface can switch reversibly between superhydrophobicity and hydrophobicity in response to pH; this controls bacterial adhesion and release. Besides, the deposited silver nanoparticles of the surface were also responsible for bacterial inhibition. Benefiting from the excellent liquid repellency, the surface could highly resist bacterial adhesion after immersing in a bacterial suspension for 10 s (85%) and 1 h (71%). Adhered bacteria can be easily eliminated using deposited silver nanoparticles during the subsequent treatment of alkaline bacterial suspension, and the ratio of deactivated bacteria was above 75%. After the pH returned to neutral, the deactivated bacteria can be easily released from the surface. This antibacterial surface showed an improved bacterial removal efficiency of about 99%. The results shed light on future antibacterial applications of the smart surface combining both bactericidal and adhesion-resistant functionalities.

Abstract
The present work investigates the time-dependent antibacterial activity of the silver nanodot decorated dendritic copper foam nanostructures against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive) bacteria. An advanced antibacterial and antifouling surface is fabricated utilizing the collective antibacterial properties of silver nanodots, chitosan, and dendritic copper foam nanostructures. The porous network of the Ag nanodot decorated Cu foam is made up of nanodendrites, which reduce the wettability of the surface. Hence, the surface exhibits hydrophobic nature and inhibits the growth of bacterial flora along with the elimination of dead bacterial cells. The fabricated surface exhibits a water contact angle (WCA) of 158.7 ± 0.17°. Specifically, we tested the fabricated material against both the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial models. The antibacterial activity of the fabricated surface is evident from the growth inhibition percentage of bacterial strains of Escherichia coli (72.30 ± 0.60%) and Bacillus subtilis (48.30 ± 1.71%). The micrographs obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) of the treated cells show the damaged cellular structures of the bacteria, which is strong evidence of successful antibacterial action. The antibacterial effect can be attributed to the synergistic mechano-chemo mode of action involving mechanical disruption of the bacterial cell wall by the nanoprotrusions present on the Cu dendrites along with the chemical interaction of the Ag nanodots with vital intracellular components.

[PMID: 33949079 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Illness as the result of ingesting bacterially contaminated foodstuffs represents a significant annual loss of human quality of life and economic impact globally. Significant research investment has recently been made in developing new materials that can be used to construct food contacting tools and surfaces that might minimize the risk of cross-contamination of bacteria from one food item to another. This is done to mitigate the spread of bacterial contamination and resultant foodborne illness. Internet-based literature search tools such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus were utilized to investigate publishing trends within the last 10 years related to the development of antimicrobial and antifouling surfaces with potential use in food processing applications. Technologies investigated were categorized into four major groups: antimicrobial agent-releasing coatings, contact-based antimicrobial coatings, superhydrophobic antifouling coatings, and repulsion-based antifouling coatings. The advantages for each group and technical challenges remaining before wide-scale implementation were compared. A diverse array of emerging antimicrobial and antifouling technologies were identified, designed to suit a wide range of food contact applications. Although each poses distinct and promising advantages, significant further research investment will likely be required to reliably produce effective materials economically and safely enough to equip large-scale operations such as farms, food processing facilities, and kitchens.

Abstract
Biofilm formation represents a significant cause of concern as it has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, thereby imposing a huge burden on public healthcare system throughout the world. As biofilms are usually resistant to various conventional antimicrobial interventions, they may result in severe and persistent infections, which necessitates the development of novel therapeutic strategies to combat biofilm-based infections. Physicochemical modification of the biomaterials utilized in medical devices to mitigate initial microbial attachment has been proposed as a promising strategy in combating polymicrobial infections, as the adhesion of microorganisms is typically the first step for the formation of biofilms. For instance, superhydrophobic surfaces have been shown to possess substantial anti-biofilm properties attributed to the presence of nanostructures. In this article, we provide an insight into the mechanisms underlying biofilm formation and their composition, as well as the applications of nanomaterials as superhydrophobic nanocoatings for the development of novel anti-biofilm therapies.

Abstract
Active species were introduced into MOFs to prepare multifunctional fluorescent probes by a stepwise postsynthetic modulation strategy. First, two-dimensional HPU-16 (HPU = Henan Polytechnic University; HPU-16 = Zn(L)2(H2O); HL = 2-(5-pyridin-4-yl-5H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-pyrazine) was transformed into three-dimensional HPU-17 ({Zn3(L)2(btc)2(H2O)}n) through a crystal dissolution-recrystallization process. Second, linker replacement was used to introduce -NH2 into the HPU-17 to generate functional NH2-HPU-17 via a single-crystal to single-crystal transformation. The functional amino groups caused NH2-HPU-17 to show a significant response to ClO-. Because of the interaction of amino groups and ClO-, the fluorescence of NH2-HPU-17 gradually changed from blue to yellow-green. More interestingly, NH2-HPU-17 could encapsulate Tb3+ and sensitize the visible-emitting characteristic fluorescence of Tb3+ in aqueous solution. Then, newly generated Tb3+@NH2-HPU-17 could serve as an effective probe for the determination of DPA. This work paves a new way for the design and modulation of ratiometric fluorescence probes for the selective and sensitive detection of special molecules.

Abstract
Selenium-enriched nickel selenide (NiSe-Se) nanotubes supported on highly conductive nickel foam (NiSe-Se@Ni foam) were synthesized using chemical bath deposition with the aid of lithium chloride as a shape-directing agent. The uniformly grown NiSe-Se@Ni foam, with its large number of electroactive sites, facilitated rapid diffusion and charge transport. The NiSe-Se@Ni foam electrode exhibited a superior specific capacitance value of 2447.46 F g-1 at a current density value of 1 A g-1 in 1 M aqueous KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, a high-energy-density pouch-type hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) device was fabricated using the proposed NiSe-Se@Ni foam as the positive electrode, activated carbon on Ni foam as the negative electrode, and a filter paper separator soaked in 1 M KOH electrolyte solution. The HSC delivered a specific capacitance of 84.10 F g-1 at a current density of 4 mA cm-2 with an energy density of 29.90 W h kg-1 at a power density of 594.46 W kg-1 for an extended operating voltage window of 1.6 V. In addition, the HSC exhibited excellent cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 95.09% after 10,000 cycles, highlighting its excellent potential for use in the hands-on applications. The real-life practicality of the HSC was tested by using it to power a red light-emitting diode.
