Abstract
The atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is a promising technology for inactivating waterborne pathogens by generating diverse reactive species under ambient conditions. However, uncertainties regarding the bacterial inactivation mechanisms persist due to varying findings in prior research. This study aimed to clarify the inactivation mechanisms of two representative bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (E. coli, Gram-negative), using an argon-based APPJ (Ar-APPJ) system in a controlled medium, primarily deionized water. We identified several reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), including hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrous acid/peroxynitrite (ONOOH/ONOO-), hydroxyl radical (•OH), and hydroperoxyl radical/superoxide radical, and evaluated their roles in bacterial inactivation. Inactivation experiments and quantification of suspected RONS revealed that ONOOH was the primary lethal agent for S. aureus, while •OH predominantly inactivated E. coli. Assessment of cell membrane integrity and intracellular RONS levels showed that E. coli, with its thinner cell wall, was more vulnerable to surface damage caused by •OH. In contrast, for S. aureus, with its thicker cell wall, intracellular attack by penetrated ONOOH, being significantly more diffusive than •OH, was more effective, as •OH alone could not induce sufficient surface damage. These findings advance our understanding of bacterial inactivation by the Ar-APPJ and provide valuable insights for designing effective water disinfection strategies utilizing this technology.

Abstract
The development of eco-friendly paint formulations is part of the transition process to more sustainable materials, which involves many industries such as offshore and shipbuilding, where the deterioration of steel in seawater is a key factor. This article aims to produce innovative coatings and test their protective action on DH 36 steel plates. SiO2 and TiO2 were modified with amino groups and iron sites to be used as filler for the design of ecological paint formulations The antimicrobial features of both NH2 groups and iron ionic species were combined with the chemical and mechanical stability of silica and titania, with silica-based powders showing increased efficacy. The surface properties of the resulting coatings were examined by determination of thickness, water wettability, roughness, and cross-cut adhesion tests (before and after a degradation test in seawater according to ASTM D870-97 standards). Preliminary tests of the microbiological activity of the iron amino functionalized materials were carried out to monitor, as proof of concept, the growth of some bacterial strains through measurements of optical density. The findings indicate that these coatings not only provide effective corrosion protection but are promising for enhancing the durability and environmental performance of steel surfaces exposed to marine environments.

Abstract
Crystal facet engineering has emerged as a promising approach to enhance photocatalytic activity of semiconductors by preferentially accumulating charge carriers (electrons and holes) on specific facets. This facilitates efficient electron and hole transfer across the semiconductor/cocatalyst interface, enabling their transport to the cocatalyst surface for redox reactions. In this study, three Cu-doped TiO2 nanorods with small, medium, and large ratios of reductive {110} to oxidative {111} facets were synthesized (namely Cu-TiO2-SR, Cu-TiO2-MR, and Cu-TiO2-LR, respectively). These materials were comparatively evaluated for the inactivation of phiX174 bacteriophage under visible light illumination. Notably, Cu-TiO2-LR demonstrated an outstanding inactivation rate of phiX174 (0.42 log inactivation/min), approximately 11.8 times higher than that of Cu-TiO2-SR. Photo- and electrochemical analyses revealed that Cu-TiO2-LR exhibited superior electron/hole separation efficiency, leading to enhanced Cu redox reactions. Various experiments, encompassing viral inactivation tests with different additives, protein oxidation assays, and DNA damage assessments, indicated that Cu(III) is the major virucidal species responsible for the phiX174 inactivation by illuminated Cu-TiO2-LR. Under visible light illumination, Cu-TiO2-LR also showed excellent reusability and minimal activity loss in the presence of humic acid and inorganic anions, as well as general microbicidal effects on other viral and bacterial species.

Abstract
Bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are considered superior in terms of stability and function with respect to its monometallic counterparts. Hence, in the present study Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flower extract was used to synthesis copper-iron bimetallic nanoparticles (HF-FCNPs). HF-FCNPs was characterized and its applications (biological and environmental) were determined. HF-FCNPs were spherical in shape with high percentage of copper inducted into the NPs. HF-FCNPs inhibited mammalian glucosidases [maltase (IC50: 548.71 ± 61.01 µg/mL), sucrase (IC50: 441.34 ± 36.03 µg/mL), isomaltase (IC50: 466.37 ± 27.09 µg/mL) and glucoamylase (IC50: 403.12 ± 14.03 µg/mL)], alpha-amylase (IC50: 16.27 ± 1.73 µg/mL) and acetylcholinesterase [AChE (IC50: 0.032 ± 0.004 µg/mL)] activities. HF-FCNPs showed competitive inhibition against AChE, maltase and sucrase activities; mixed inhibition against isomaltase and glucoamylase activities; whereas non-competitive inhibition against α-amylase activity. HF-FCNPs showed zone of inhibition of 16 ± 2 mm against S. mutans at 100 µg/mL concentration. HF-FCNPs inhibited biofilm formation of dental pathogen, S. mutans. SEM and confocal microscopy analysis revealed the disruption of network formation and bacterial cell death induced by HF-FCNPs treatment on tooth model of S. mutans biofilm. HF-FCNPs efficiently removed hexavalent chromium in pH-independent manner and followed first order kinetics. Through Langmuir isotherm fit the qmax (maximum adsorption capacity) was determined to be 62.5 mg/g. Further, HF-FCNPs removed both anionic and cationic dyes. Altogether, facile synthesis of HF-FCNPs was accomplished and its biological (enzyme inhibition and antibiofilm activity) and environmental (catalyst to remove pollutants) applications have been understood.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an effective antimicrobial material; however, its activity is inhibited by oxidation. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis prevents Cu oxidation and improves its antimicrobial activity and stability. In this study, the virucidal efficacy of Cu-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (Cu-TiO2) with three different oxidation states of the Cu dopant (i.e., zero-valent Cu (Cu0), cuprous (CuI), and cupric (CuII) oxides) was evaluated for the phiX174 bacteriophage under visible light illumination (Vis/Cu-TiO2). CuI-TiO2 exhibited superior virucidal activity (5 log inactivation in 30 min) and reusability (only 11 % loss of activity in the fifth cycle) compared to Cu0-TiO2 and CuII-TiO2. Photoluminescence spectroscopy and photocurrent measurements showed that CuI-TiO2 exhibited the highest charge separation efficiency and photocurrent density (approximately 0.24 μA/cm2) among the three materials, resulting in the most active redox reactions of Cu. Viral inactivation tests under different additives and viral particle integrity analyses (i.e., protein oxidation and DNA damage analyses) revealed that different virucidal species played key roles in the three Vis/Cu-TiO2 systems; Cu(III) was responsible for the viral inactivation by Vis/CuI-TiO2. The Vis/CuI-TiO2 system exhibited substantial virucidal performance for different viral species and in different water matrices, demonstrating its potential practical applications. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the design of effective and sustainable antiviral photocatalysts for disinfection.

Abstract
Soil pollution is a global environmental problem. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) as a kind of emerging remedial material is used for contaminated soil, which can quickly and effectively degrade and remove pollutants such as organic halides, nitrates and heavy metals in soil, respectively. However, nZVI and its composites can enter the soil environment in the application process, affect the physical and chemical properties of the soil, be absorbed by microorganisms and affect the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, thus affecting the ecological environment of the entire soil. Because of the potential risks of nZVI to the environment and ecosystems, this paper summarizes the current application of nZVI in the remediation of contaminated soil environments, summarizes the various factors affecting the toxic effects of nZVI particles and comprehensively analyzes the toxic effects of nZVI on microorganisms, toxic mechanisms and cell defense behaviors to provide a theoretical reference for subsequent biosafety research on nZVI.

Abstract
The interest in removing contagious viruses from indoor air using ventilation and filtration systems is increasing rapidly because people spend most of the day indoors. The development of an effective platform to regenerate the antiviral function of air filters during use and safe abrogation of used filters containing infectious viruses is a challenging task, because an on-demand safe-by-design manufacture system is essential for in-place antiviral coatings, but it has been rarely investigated. With these considerations, an electrically operable dispenser was prepared for decorating continuous ultrafine Fe-Zn, Fe-Ag, or Fe-Cu particles (<5 nm) onto SiO2 nanobeads (ca. 130 nm) to form nanobulges (i.e., nanoroughness for engaging coronavirus spikes) in the aerosol state for 3 min direct deposition on the air filter surfaces. The resulting nanobulges were exposed to human coronaviruses (HCoV; surrogates of SARS-CoV-2) to assess antiviral function. The results were compared with similar-sized individual Zn, Ag, and Cu particles. The nanobulges exhibited comparable antiviral activity to Zn, Ag, and Cu particles while retaining biosafety in both in vitro and in vivo models because of the significantly smaller metallic fractions. This suggests that the bimetallic bulge structures generate reactive oxygen species and Fenton-mediated hydroxyl radicals for inactivating HCoV.

Bicarbonate enhanced heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate by copper ferrite nanoparticles for the efficient degradation of refractory organic contaminants in water.

Abstract
Nowadays, the treatment of residual refractory organic contaminants (ROCs) is a huge challenge for environmental remediation. In this study, a potential process is provided by copper ferrite catalyst (CuFe2O4) activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5-) in the bicarbonate (HCO3-) enhanced system for efficient removal of Acid Orange 7 (AO7), 2,4-dichlorophenol, phenol and methyl orange (MO) in water. The impact of key reaction parameters, water quality components, main reactive oxygen species (ROS), probable degradation mechanism, rational degradation pathways and catalyst stability were systematically investigated. A 95.0% AO7 (C0 = 100 mg L-1) removal was achieved at initial pH (pH0) of 5.9 ± 0.1 (natural pH), CuFe2O4 dosage of 0.15 g L-1, PMS concentration of 0.98 mM, HCO3- concentration of 2 mM, and reaction time of 30 min. Both sulfate radical (SO4-•) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) on the surface of catalyst were proved as the predominant radical species through radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. The buffer nature of HCO3- was partially contributed for the enhanced degradation of AO7 under CuFe2O4/PMS/HCO3- system. Importantly, according to 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and EPR analysis, the positive effect of bicarbonate may be mainly attributed to the formation of peroxymonocarbonate (HCO4-), which may enhance the generation of •OH. The magnetic CuFe2O4 particles can be well recycled and the leaching concentration of Cu was acceptable (<1 mg L-1). Considering the widespread presence of bicarbonate in water environment, this work may provide a safe, efficient, and sustainable technique for the elimination of ROCs from practical complex wastewater.

Nanomaterial-enabled photothermal-based solar water disinfection processes: Fundamentals, recent advances, and mechanisms. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 437:129373. [PMID: 35728326 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The pathogenic microorganisms in water pose a great threat to human health. Photothermal and photothermocatalytic disinfection using nanomaterials (NPs) has offered a promising and effective strategy to address the challenges in solar water disinfection (SODIS), especially in the point-of-use operations. This review aims at providing comprehensive and state-of-the-art knowledge of photothermal-based disinfection by NPs. The fundamentals and principles of photothermal-based disinfection were first introduced. Then, recent advances in developing photothermal/photothermocatalytic catalysts were systematically summarized. The light-to-heat conversion and disinfection performance of a large variety of photothermal materials were presented. Given the complicated mechanisms of photothermal-based disinfection, the attacks from reactive oxygen species and heat, the destruction of bacterial cells, and the antibacterial effects of released metal ions were highlighted. Finally, future challenges and opportunities associated with the development of cost-effective photothermal/photothermocatalytic disinfection systems were outlined. This review will provide guidance in designing future NPs and inspire more research efforts from environmental nano-communities to move towards practical water disinfection operations.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 435:128951. [PMID: 35472538 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The inactivation of microorganisms by nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was extensively reported, but what happens inside the cells is rarely explored. Herein, we revealed that nZVI caused the drastic increase of intracellular iron concentrations, which subsequently catalyzed the Haber-Weiss reaction to produce high levels of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROSs) and inactivated E. coli cells by oxidative damage of DNA, evidenced by the significantly higher inactivation efficiencies of E. coli mutant strains deficient in iron uptake regulation and DNA repair than the parental strain. The intracellular iron levels, endogenous ROSs levels and the inactivation efficiencies of E. coli were positively correlated. The permeabilized cytomembrane due to the close contact between nZVI and E. coli was responsible for the iron overload. This work demonstrates experimentally for the first time that nZVI causes iron overload and endogenous oxidative stress to inactivate E. coli, thus deepening our knowledge of the nZVI antimicrobial mechanism.

Abstract
Understanding of how the human organism functions has preoccupied researchers in medicine for a very long time. While most of the mechanisms are well understood and detailed thoroughly, medicine has yet much to discover. Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn) are elements on which organisms, ranging from simple bacteria all the way to complex ones such as mammals, rely on these divalent ions. Compounded by the continuously evolving biotechnologies, these ions are still relevant today. This review article aims at recapping the mechanisms involved in Fe, Cu, and Zn homeostasis. By applying the knowledge and expanding on future research areas, this article aims to shine new light of existing illness. Thanks to the expanding field of nanotechnology, genetic disorders such as hemochromatosis and thalassemia can be managed today. Nanoparticles (NPs) improve delivery of ions and confer targeting capabilities, with the potential for use in treatment and diagnosis. Iron deficiency, cancer, and sepsis are persisting major issues. While targeted delivery using Fe NPs can be used as food fortifiers, chemotherapeutic agents against cancer cells and microbes have been developed using both Fe and Cu NPs. A fast and accurate means of diagnosis is a major impacting factor on outcome of patients, especially when critically ill. Good quality imaging and bed side diagnostic tools are possible using NPs, which may positively impact outcome.

Abstract
The microbial inactivation by cupric ion (Cu(II)) in combination with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxylamine (HA) was investigated for twelve different microorganisms (five Gram-negative bacteria, three Gram-positive bacteria, and four bacteriophages). The inactivation efficacy, protein oxidation, and RNA (or DNA) damage were monitored during and after treatment by Cu(II), Cu(II)/HA, Cu(II)/H2O2 and Cu(II)/HA/H2O2. The rate of microbial inactivation by the (combined) microbicides generally increased in the order of Cu(II) < Cu(II)/H2O2 < Cu(II)/HA < Cu(II)/HA/H2O2; Cu(II)/HA/H2O2 resulted in 0.18-0.31, 0.10-0.18, and 0.55-3.83 log inactivation/min for Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and bacteriophages, respectively. The degrees of protein oxidation and RNA (or DNA) damage increased in the order of Cu(II) < Cu(II)/HA < Cu(II)/H2O2 < Cu(II)/HA/H2O2. In particular, Cu(II)/HA/H2O2 led to exceptionally fast inactivation of the viruses. Gram-positive bacteria tended to show higher resistance to microbicides than other microbial species. The microbicidal effects of the combined microbicides on the target microorganisms were explained by the roles of Cu(I) and Cu(III) generated by the redox reactions of Cu(II) with H2O2, HA, and oxygen. Major findings of this study indicate that Cu(II)-based combined microbicides are promising disinfectants for different waters contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms.

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has fueled a global demand for effective diagnosis and treatment as well as mitigation of the spread of infection, all through large-scale approaches such as specific alternative antiviral methods and classical disinfection protocols. Based on an abundance of engineered materials identifiable by their useful physicochemical properties through versatile chemical functionalization, nanotechnology offers a number of approaches to cope with this emergency. Here, through a multidisciplinary Perspective encompassing diverse fields such as virology, biology, medicine, engineering, chemistry, materials science, and computational science, we outline how nanotechnology-based strategies can support the fight against COVID-19, as well as infectious diseases in general, including future pandemics. Considering what we know so far about the life cycle of the virus, we envision key steps where nanotechnology could counter the disease. First, nanoparticles (NPs) can offer alternative methods to classical disinfection protocols used in healthcare settings, thanks to their intrinsic antipathogenic properties and/or their ability to inactivate viruses, bacteria, fungi, or yeasts either photothermally or via photocatalysis-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Nanotechnology tools to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in patients could also be explored. In this case, nanomaterials could be used to deliver drugs to the pulmonary system to inhibit interaction between angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors and viral S protein. Moreover, the concept of "nanoimmunity by design" can help us to design materials for immune modulation, either stimulating or suppressing the immune response, which would find applications in the context of vaccine development for SARS-CoV-2 or in counteracting the cytokine storm, respectively. In addition to disease prevention and therapeutic potential, nanotechnology has important roles in diagnostics, with potential to support the development of simple, fast, and cost-effective nanotechnology-based assays to monitor the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and related biomarkers. In summary, nanotechnology is critical in counteracting COVID-19 and will be vital when preparing for future pandemics.
