摘要
Nanozymes have become a new generation of antibiotics with exciting broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and negligible biological toxicity.However,their inherent low catalytic activity limits their antibacterial properties.Herein,Cu single-atom sites/N doped porous carbon(Cu SASs/NPC)is successfully constructed for photothermal-catalytic antibacterial treatment by a pyrolysis-etching-adsorption-pyrolysis(PEAP)strategy.Cu SASs/NPC have stronger peroxidase-like catalytic activity,glutathione(GSH)-depleting function,and photothermal property compared with non-Cu-doped NPC,indicating that Cu doping significantly improves the catalytic performance of nanozymes.Cu SASs/NPC can effectively induce peroxidase-like activity in the presence of H2O2,thereby generating a large amount of hydroxyl radicals(•OH),which have a certain killing effect on bacteria and make bacteria more susceptible to temperature.The introduction of near-infrared(NIR)light can generate hyperthermia to fight bacteria,and enhance the peroxidase-like catalytic activity,thereby generating additional•OH to destroy bacteria.Interestingly,Cu SASs/NPC can act as GSH peroxidase(GSH-Px)-like nanozymes,which can deplete GSH in bacteria,thereby significantly improving the sterilization effect.PTT-catalytic synergistic antibacterial strategy produces almost 100%antibacterial efficiency against Escherichia coli(E.coli)and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA).In vivo experiments show a better PTT-catalytic synergistic therapeutic performance on MRSA-infected mouse wounds.Overall,our work highlights the wide antibacterial and anti-infective bio-applications of Cu single-atom-containing catalysts.
