Research progress of bismuth-based photocatalytic antibacterial materials

Antibiotics are a kind of substances which can inhibit or kill some other pathogenic microorganisms. However, the abuse of traditional antibiotics has made the problem of bacterial drug resistance more and more serious.Recently, bismuth based photocatalysis antibacterial materials have attracted much attentiondue to its high activity, long antibacterial duration, good thermal stability, small side effects and low cost. In this paper, In this paper, we focus on reviewing the research progress of bismuth-based composites in photocatalytic antibacterial.
