Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has significantly diminished the efficacy of existing antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. Consequently, the need for finding a strategy capable of effectively combating bacterial infections has become increasingly urgent. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered one of the most promising emerging antibacterial strategies due to its non-invasiveness, low adverse effect, and the fact that it does not lead to the development of drug resistance. However, bacteria at the infection sites often exist in the form of biofilm instead of the planktonic form, resulting in a hypoxic microenvironment. This phenomenon compromises the treatment outcome of oxygen-dependent type-II PDT. Compared to type-II PDT, type-I PDT is not constrained by the oxygen concentration in the infected tissues. Therefore, in the treatment of bacterial infections, type-I PDT exhibits significant advantages over type-II PDT. In this review, we first introduce the fundamental principles of type-I PDT in details, including its physicochemical properties and how it generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Next, we explore several specific antimicrobial mechanisms utilized by type-I PDT and summarize the recent applications of type-I PDT in antimicrobial treatment. Finally, the limitations and future development directions of type-I photosensitizers are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have accelerated the development of bacterial resistance. To achieve the effective eradication of resistant bacteria, pathfinders have devised various treatment strategies. Among these strategies, type I photodynamic therapy has garnered considerable attention owing to its non-oxygen dependence. The utilization of non-oxygen-dependent photodynamic therapy not only enables the effective elimination of drug-resistant bacteria but also facilitates the successful eradication of hypoxic biofilms, which exhibits promising prospects for treating biofilm-associated infections. Based on the current research status, we anticipate that the novel type I photodynamic therapy agent can surmount the biofilm barrier, enabling efficient treatment of hypoxic biofilm infections.

Abstract
Nowadays, the increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms requires the search for alternative methods that do not cause drug resistance. Phototherapy strategies (PTs) based on the photoresponsive materials have become a new trend in the inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms due to their spatiotemporal controllability and negligible side effects. Among those phototherapy strategies, photocatalytic antimicrobial therapy (PCAT) has emerged as an effective and promising antimicrobial strategy in recent years. In the process of photocatalytic treatment, photocatalytic materials are excited by different wavelengths of lights to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) or other toxic species for the killing of various pathogenic microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and algae. Therefore, this review timely summarizes the latest progress in the PCAT field, with emphasis on the development of various photocatalytic antimicrobials (PCAMs), the underlying antimicrobial mechanisms, the design strategies, and the multiple practical antimicrobial applications in local infections therapy, personal protective equipment, water purification, antimicrobial coatings, wound dressings, food safety, antibacterial textiles, and air purification. Meanwhile, we also present the challenges and perspectives of widespread practical implementation of PCAT as antimicrobial therapeutics. We hope that as a result of this review, PCAT will flourish and become an effective weapon against pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:19583-19593.

Abstract
Imidacloprid as a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide can cause harmful pesticide residue inevitably. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were innovatively composited to improve the light absorption and degradation performance of Bi2WO6 semiconductor, which expanded the photodegradation application in solving environmental problems. Based on the synergistic effect of Bi2WO6 and NH2-MIL-88B(Fe), a Bi2WO6/NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (BNM) heterojunction photocatalyst with high-performance of photocatalytic degradation activities was successfully synthesized. The optimized BNM catalyst had a good degradation rate under visible light, which was mainly caused by generation of the active ·OH. Transient photocurrent response and electrochemical impedance tests verified that 1:2 BNM exhibits a highest charge separation and a lowest carrier recombination rate which were favorable to the photocatalytic activity. Cycle experiments show that the composite photocatalyst had good reusability and stability which were very important for potential industry applications.
