CommunicationNanofibrils in 3D aligned channel arrays with synergistic effect of Ag/NPs for rapid and highly efficient electric field disinfection
Graphical abstract
Silver nanoparticles anchoring wood carbon (Ag NPs/WC) membrane is developed as cost-effective, high flux, scalable filter for highly efficient electric field disinfection of water. Under electric field of 4 V voltage, the designed membrane achieved more than 5 log (99.999%) disinfection performance for different model bacteria.

2022, Nano EnergyCitation Excerpt :The disinfection of air [5–7], water [8,9], equipment [10–12], and even the human body is essential to disease prevention and public safety, which is related to the survival and development of human beings, thereby leading to the sustainable and safe development of society. As population and human activities increase, the uncontrolled discharge of polluted air and wastewater has caused damage to the environment, human health, natural resources, and the biological chain, so actions for resolving air and water pollution are urgently needed [13]. In recent years, electrical stimulation (ES) based strategies have emerged as a promising approach for combating pathogenic bacteria [14,15].
