DOI: 10.1002/smll.202206265
Abstract: Percutaneous implants may experience infection for several times during their servicing periods. They need antibacterial activity and durability to reduce recurrent infection and cytocompatibility to reconstruct biosealing. A novel photoresponse bio-heterojunction (PCT) is developed herein.… read more here.
