Abstract in brief

  • The study focuses on designing an interfacial Schottky junction using BiSTiCT MXene, where differences in work function between TiCT and BiS create a local electrophilic and nucleophilic environment, enhancing charge transfer.
  • This structure increases local electron density and forms a barrier that prevents electrons from flowing back, which improves photocatalytic activity under 808nm near-infrared radiation, producing reactive oxygen species that can kill bacteria.
  • The material effectively kills over 98% of Staphylococcus aureus and 99.2% of Escherichia coli within 10 minutes, offering an eco-friendly alternative to antibiotics through rapid photoexcited bacterial destruction, guided by interfacial engineering principles.]
