The enhanced photocatalytic sterilization of MOF-Based nanohybrid for rapid and portable therapy of bacteria-infected open wounds.

ABSTRACT: Open wounds are prone to infection and difficult to heal, which even threatens the life of patients because bacterial infections can induce other lethal complications without prompt treatment. The commonly used antibiotics treatment for bacterial infections has been reported to cause globally bacterial resistance and even the occurrence of superbacteria. The highly effective and antibiotic-independent therapeutic strategies are urgently needed for treating various kinds of bacteria-infected diseases. In this work, we synthesized an eco-friendly nanohybrid material (ZnDMZ) consisting of a kind of biodegradable metal organic framework (MOF, ZIF-8) combined with Zn-doped MoS₂ (Zn-MoS₂) nanosheets, which exhibited great ability to kill bacteria and promote the healing of
