Additive Manufactured Graphene Coating with Synergistic Photothermal and Superhydrophobic Effects for Bactericidal Applications.

ABSTRACT: Drug-resistant bacterial infection is a global threat to public health due to the high mobility of the population. Novel therapy methods have been intensively studied for the eradication of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including photothermal treatment, which has established outstanding bacterial killing efficiencies under laser radiation, and superhydrophobic surfaces have exhibited excellent antifouling properties. However, an effective, scalable, and affordable bactericidal coating for eliminating drug-resistant bacteria is lacking. Herein, a novel graphene coating using one-step laser-induced graphene and simultaneous laser-induced forward transfer is introduced. The graphene coating shows high photothermal conversion and superhydrophobic performance, and these synergistic effects can
