Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a magnetically driven micro-nanorobot based on photocatalysis, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of material chemistry. Background Art
[0002] In the past few hundred years, bacterial infections have become one of the major problems threatening human health, causing tens of thousands of deaths every year. Among them, pathogenic bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus anthracis are particularly prominent. Although antibiotics have played an important role in combating bacterial infections, the problem of bacterial drug resistance caused by their long-term use has become increasingly serious, and even "super bacteria" with multiple drug resistances have emerged. Facing this severe challenge, the development of new antibacterial materials and technologies has become an urgent task.
[0003] As an emerging material technology, micro-nanorobots can reach microscopic regions that are difficult to reach by traditional materials due to their small size and controllable motion characteristics, and show great application potential in the fields of biomedical detection and environmental governance. Such materials can generate mechanical motion under the stimulation of external fields (such as magnetic fields, sound fields, and light fields), and among them, magnetically driven micro-nanorobots have attracted much attention due to their precise manipulation performance. Especially when combined with photocatalytic materials, such robots are expected to exhibit excellent antibacterial properties. Micro-nanorobots with light-responsive characteristics can be excited by light of a specific wavelength during the photocatalytic process to generate reactive oxygen species, thereby effectively killing various pathogenic microorganisms.
[0004] Based on the above background, the development of a magnetically driven micro-nanorobot combined with photocatalysis technology is of great significance for solving the problem of bacterial drug resistance. Among many photocatalytic materials, bismuth oxyhalide has attracted much attention due to its unique layered structure and excellent light absorption performance. Among them, bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) has become a research hotspot due to its relatively narrow bandgap. However, single-component bismuth oxyhalide has problems such as limited light absorption range and fast recombination rate of photo-generated carriers. Therefore, it is particularly important to functionalize and modify bismuth oxyhalide. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] (1) Magnetic iron oxide spinel nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method. Weigh 0.02 mol of FeCl3·6H2O and 0.01 mol of MnCl2·4H2O compounds and add them to deionized water for ultrasonic dispersion and dissolution. Add a certain amount of NH3·H2O solution to form a suspension and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 5 min. Then add 60 mL of a solution containing 15 g of NaOH to the precipitate. Place the suspension in a 100 mL polytetrafluoroethylene reactor and react at 180°C for 18 h. Use a magnet to absorb the product MnFe2O4, wash it with ethanol and water three times respectively, and then dry and grind it.
[0034] (2) The magnetic-driven bismuth oxyiodide micro-nanorobots were prepared by the co-chemical bath method. 3 mmol of KI was dissolved in 40 mL of deionized water to form a KI solution. MnFe2O4 was added to the KI solution at optimized molar ratios of 1:1, 0.5:1, and 0.25:1, respectively, to form solution a. 3 mmol of Bi(NO3)3·5H2O was dissolved in 10 mL of ethylene glycol to prepare solution b. Under mechanical stirring, solution b was gradually added dropwise into solution a and continuously stirred for 6 h. The obtained precipitate was washed three times with ethanol and deionized water and then dried in an oven at 80 °C. The synthesized magnetic-driven bismuth oxyiodide micro-nanorobots are denoted as BM-1, BM-0.5, and BM-0.25.

[0036] (3) Before the antibacterial experiment, instruments such as beakers, pipettes, and spreaders used were sterilized by ultraviolet light for 30 min. The pathogenic bacteria solution (10 8 CFU / mL) was placed in a 100 mL beaker, and then the magnetic-driven micro-nanorobots formed by loading BiOI with MnFe2O4 obtained in 1-2 were placed in the pathogenic bacteria solution. The sterilization experiment was carried out for 1 h under dark field and light field conditions, respectively.
[0037] Different sterilization effects were achieved by controlling the movement of the micro-nanorobots and the light and dark fields. The antibacterial effect diagram is as Figure 4 shown. Under magnetic drive and simulated sunlight by a xenon lamp (300 W), the sterilization effect of the BM-0.5 sample for 1 h can reach 99%.
