ABSTRACT
Black phosphorus (BP) exhibits great potential as antibacterial materials due to its unique photocatalytic activity. However, the unsatisfactory optical absorption and quick recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs restrain its photocatalytic antibacterial performance. In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were decorated on BP to construct BP@AgNPs nanohybrids and then introduced into poly-l-lactic acid scaffold. Combining the tunable bandgap of BP and the LSPR effect of AgNPs, BP@AgNPs nanohybrids displayed the broaden visible light absorption. Furthermore, AgNPs acted as electron acceptors could accelerate charge transfer and suppress electron-hole recombination. Therefore, BP@AgNPs nanohybrids achieved synergistically enhanced photocatalytic antibacterial activity under visible light irradiation. Fluorescence probe experiment verified that BP@AgNPs promoted the generation of reactive oxygen species, which could disrupt bacteria membrane, damage DNA and oxide proteins, and finally lead to bacteria apoptosis. As a result, the scaffold possessed strong antibacterial efficiency with a bactericidal rate of 97% under light irradiation. Moreover, the scaffold also exhibited good cytocompatibility. This work highlighted a new strategy to develop photocatalytic antibacterial scaffold for bone implant application.
