Enhancement of bacterial inactivation of BiOBr nanoflower through oxygen vacancy engineering

In recent years, various strategies focused on regulating the different defect types and concentrations have been put forward to alter the photo- or electro-catalytic performance of nanomaterials (NMs), such as chemical vapor deposition, thermal annealing, heavy ion irradiation, etc. Herein, a simple strategy for regulating the concentration of oxygen vacancies was developed by in-situ Bi reduction of BiOBr nanoflowers (Bi-BiOBr), largely...
