[0002] In recent years, bacterial infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms have posed a significant threat to the natural environment and human health. While antibiotics can effectively prevent and treat bacterial infections, their extensive use can lead to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and inactivate antibiotics. Therefore, the search for a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly new sterilization technology is of great practical significance.

[0003] Photocatalytic technology based on semiconductor materials plays an important role in bacterial inactivation due to its broad inactivation potential and environmental friendliness. Carbon nitride, a two-dimensional semiconductor material composed of carbon and nitrogen, can generate reactive oxygen species with oxidative properties when exposed to visible light. These species can destroy bacterial cell membranes, proteins, lipids, and other intracellular substances, thereby inactivating the bacteria.

[0004] Although carbon nitride-based materials have broad application prospects in photocatalytic antibacterial applications, there are still many challenges, such as low light utilization efficiency, dependence on light, and limited concentration of reactive oxygen species generated.

[0031] (2) Weigh copper acetate monohydrate (200.0 mg, 1 mmol) into a 100 mL beaker, add 30 mL of ultrapure water, and sonicate for half an hour. Dissolve thioacetamide (150.3 mg, 2 mmol) in 10 mL of ultrapure water.

The reaction mixture was then kept at 180°C for 24 h. After cooling to room temperature, the product was centrifuged, washed, and dried at 60°C overnight to obtain the product SCN@CuS, designated SCN@CuS-3.

[0033] Comparative Example Loose and porous three-dimensional carbon nitride nanosheets (SCN) were prepared according to the method of step (1) in Example 1, and CuS was prepared according to the method of step (2) in Example 1.

[0034] Test Example 1 The crystal structures of SCN@CuS-2, SCN and CuS were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that SCN@CuS-2 has obvious characteristic peaks of SCN and characteristic peaks of hexagonal CuS, indicating that CuS is successfully loaded with SCN.

[0035] The microstructure of SCN@CuS-2 was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, it can be seen that the SCN exhibits a 3D ultrathin nanosheet structure, and the CuS nanospheres are uniformly attached to the SCN nanosheets.

[0036] The light absorption properties of SCN, CuS and SCN@CuS-2 were tested by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that SCN@CuS-2 shows a significant increase in absorption intensity in the long wavelength region (>500nm), which can promote the efficiency of light utilization.

[0037] Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the chemical bonds and functional groups of SCN@CuS-2, SCN and CuS. Figure 4 As shown, CuS is at 620 cm -1 The characteristic peak of Cu-S bond appears at 810 cm -11200-1800cm -1 and 3000-3500cm -1 The SCN@CuS-2 spectrum contains the characteristic absorption bands of both CuS and SCN, and no new chemical bond signals appear, indicating that no other substances have been introduced.

[0038] Steady-state photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy was used to test the recombination efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of SCN@CuS-2, SCN, and CuS. Figure 5 As shown in Figure 3, the fluorescence emission peak intensity of SCN@CuS-2 is significantly reduced compared with that of SCN, which indicates that CuS loading optimizes the photogenerated charge separation kinetics.

[0039] Photothermal imaging was used to analyze the temperature changes of SCN@CuS-2, SCN and CuS under visible light. Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the temperature of SCN@CuS-2 increased from 27.6 °C to 53.4 °C after 8 min of visible light irradiation, indicating that the photothermal effect in the antibacterial process helps to inactivate bacteria.

[0040] Application Example 1 An in vitro antibacterial experiment was conducted to evaluate the sterilization performance of the materials prepared in Preparation Examples 1-3 and the Comparative Example. The specific process is as follows: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) were selected as representatives of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, respectively. 1 mg of the test materials (SCN@CuS-1, SCN@CuS-2, SCN@CuS-3, CuS) were dispersed in 18 mL of PBS buffer, and then 2 mL of pretreated bacterial solution (3 × 10 7 CFU / mL), stir in the dark for 20 min.

[0041] 3mM H₂O₂ solution was then injected into each buffer system and immediately placed under a light source (λ > 420nm, 300W, 100mW / cm²) for antibacterial testing. Appropriate amounts of the reaction bacterial suspension were pipetted at regular intervals, applied in a gradient dilution pattern, and incubated at a constant temperature for 16 hours. Antibacterial activity was assessed by colony count on a plate.

[0042] Six groups were set up in the experiment, namely, light group, H2O2 group, CuS group, SCN@CuS-1 group, SCN@CuS-2 group, and SCN@CuS-3 group. The treatment methods of each experimental group are as follows: Illumination group: illumination only; H2O2 group: light + H2O2; CuS group: light + H2O2 + CuS; SCN@CuS-1 group: light+H2O2+SCN@CuS-1; SCN@CuS-2 group: light+H2O2+SCN@CuS-2; SCN@CuS-3 group: light+H2O2+SCN@CuS-3; All experiments were repeated three times. Before the experiment, all glassware and solutions were autoclaved at 121°C for 20 min. The bacteria in the SCN@CuS-2 group after sterilization were fixed and dehydrated, and then used for SEM and TEM analysis (e.g. Figure 7 (as shown in the figure), accurately observing the morphological changes of the bacteria. It is clearly visible that after the reaction, the edges of the membrane become shrunken and broken, indicating that its integrity and permeability are severely compromised. Significant shrinkage, depressions, and perforations are evident at the red arrows.

[0043] The calculation formula of antibacterial rate is as follows:

[0044] Among them, A represents the number of bacteria growing in the plate with the illumination time, and A0 represents the number of bacteria in the original plate.

[0045] The plates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in each experimental group were spread as follows Figure 8A and Figure 8C As shown in the figure, the antibacterial rates of each sample against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were calculated by colony counting method. Under the same conditions, the antibacterial rate of 3mM H2O2 against Staphylococcus aureus was only 17.3%, while the bactericidal rates of CuS, SCN@CuS-1, SCN@CuS-2 and SCN@CuS-3 material systems against Staphylococcus aureus were 79.8%, 88.4%, 99.5% and 96.8% respectively at 8 minutes ( Figure 8B ). Similar to Staphylococcus aureus, the sterilization rates of pure light, H2O2, CuS, SCN@CuS-1, SCN@CuS-2 and SCN@CuS-3 material systems against Escherichia coli at 8 minutes were 4.5%, 19.1%, 84.3%, 85.3%, 99.7% and 97.1%, respectively. Figure 8D ).

[0046] Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) combined with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) was used to detect hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anion radicals (·O2⁻) in the SCN@CuS-2 group. After the SCN@CuS-2 group system was mixed with DMPO solution (DMPO aqueous solution and DMPO methanol solution were used to detect ·OH and ·O2⁻, respectively), it was immediately transferred to the EPR quartz capillary for scanning. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown in Figure 2 , ·OH and ·O⁻ were detected in the SCN@CuS-2 system. ·O⁻ was generated during the photocatalytic process, while ·OH was produced by a Fenton-like reaction. Furthermore, a temperature increase indicated a photothermal effect. Taking these factors into account, the SCN@CuS-2 material system exhibits a synergistic sterilization effect of photocatalysis, Fenton-like reaction, and photothermal effect under the action of visible light and a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution.

[0047] Application Example 2 In vivo antibacterial experiments were conducted to evaluate the sterilization performance of the photocatalytic-Fenton-like-photothermal process of the materials prepared in Preparation Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples. The specific process is as follows: Anesthesia was induced by inhalation anesthesia. A 1 cm puncture wound was created on the back of SPF male mice weighing about 20 g. 2 The wound was treated with Staphylococcus aureus (10 7 CFU / mL) was slowly dripped onto the wound surface. After 24 hours, wound infection could be observed, with redness, swelling, and yellow pus on the surface.

[0048] The successfully infected mice were randomly divided into five groups, and the mice that met the infection criteria were randomly divided into five groups (n=6 / group): negative control group (PBS buffer), H2O2 control group (3mM), SCN single group (50μg / mL), CuS single group (50μg / mL), and SCN@CuS-2 complex group (50μg / mL). 100μL of the corresponding preparation was topically administered daily, followed by irradiation with a xenon lamp light source (>420nm, 100mW / cm²) for 10min, and the intervention lasted for 8 consecutive days.

[0049] A digital camera was used to record the changes in wound surface area. The pictures and morphology of the mouse wounds on days 0, 3, 6, and 8 after intervention with PBS, H2O2, CuS, SCN, and SCN@CuS-2 are shown in the figure below. Figure 10 After 8 days of treatment, the wound conditions of all mice improved overall, with the wound area of ​​the SCN@CuS-2 group decreasing most significantly.

[0050] Application Example 3 The hemolysis rate of S-type SCN@CuS-2 heterojunctions at different concentrations was tested. Mouse blood was centrifuged to collect red blood cells (RBCs) and resuspended in PBS. 20µL of the RBC suspension was then added to each test sample (380µL), vortexed, and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. The supernatant was transferred to a 96-well plate, and the absorbance at 570nm was measured. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the EP tubes from left to right correspond to 0.01 mg mL -1 SCN@CuS-2, 0.5 mg mL-1 SCN@CuS-2, 1 mg mL -1 SCN@CuS-2, PBS buffer and ultrapure water. It can be seen that the S-type SCN@CuS-2 heterojunctions at different concentrations are non-toxic to blood.
