AI Technical Summary
Existing thermoelectric materials are difficult to simultaneously remove biofilms and continuously promote tissue repair in the treatment of wound infections. Traditional antibiotic treatment cannot completely eradicate biofilms, photothermal therapy has insufficient penetration ability, and thermoelectric materials have low energy conversion efficiency, making it difficult to achieve effective antibacterial and continuous repair.
A microwave-responsive bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric material was developed. Through a zinc oxide-bismuth telluride (ZnO-Bi2Te3) composite material, a large amount of ROS is generated by microwave excitation for efficient antibacterial activity. The material also promotes tissue repair through thermoelectric effects and slow release of zinc ions. At the same time, microneedle patches are used to precisely locate lesions.
It achieves efficient removal of biofilm, avoids infection recurrence, continuously promotes tissue repair, provides personalized treatment plans, reduces damage to normal tissues, and has the potential for large-scale production.
