Abstract
Bacterial infections have seriously threatened human health. The abuse of natural or artificial antibiotics leads to bacterial resistance, so developing new generation of antibacterial agents and treatment methods is urgent. Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum sulfide (MoS2 ) has good biocompatibility, high specific surface area to facilitate surface modification and drug loading, adjustable energy band gap, and high near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), so it is often used for antibacterial application through its photothermal or photodynamic effects. Herein, this review makes a comprehensive summarization and discussion on the fabrication processes, structural characteristics, antibacterial performance and the corresponding mechanisms of MoS2 -based materials as well as their representative antibacterial applications. In addition, the outlooks on the remaining challenges that should be addressed in the field of MoS2 are also proposed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
