Synthesis of dual-phase Ti₃O₅/Ti₄O₇ nanofibers for efficient adsorption of SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we synthesized the dual-phase Ti₃O₅/Ti₄O₇ nanofibers for efficient adsorption of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a life-threatening virus being taking millions of people lives. The Ti₃O₅/Ti₄O₇ nanofibers were synthesized by preparation of H₂Ti₃O₇ precursor, polydopamine coating and furnace calcination. Protein and phospholipid adsorption assays showed that the dual-phase nanofibers had much higher affinity to both the model molecules bovine serum album (BSA) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) than the control single-phase Ti₆O₁₁ nanofibers. Consistently, the dual-phase nanofibers exhibited much stronge
