Abstract:

Photocatalytic nano-TiO2 is favored for its excellent photocatalysis, chemical stability and broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. However, some problems, such as wide gap, high overpotential and fast recombination of photocarriers, limit its photocatalytic performance. This paper reviews the recent progress of TiO2 photocatalysis in antibacterial research. The mechanism of photocatalytic antibacterial activity of nano-TiO2 is discussed, and several strategies to improve the photocatalytic antibacterial activity of nano-TiO2 are discussed, including the structural design of nano-TiO2, the regulation of light, the doping of metal ions, the doping of non-metal ions, the modification of precious metals and the coupling of other materials. The modified TiO2 photocatalyst inhibits the growth of bacterial cells significantly, which has a unique application prospect in biomedical engineering.
