Antibacterial Activity of Quantum-Confined One-Dimensional Titanate Nanofilaments

nanocrystals and promotes strong interfacial contact with bacterial membranes. The synthesis is solution-based, low-temperature, highly scalable, and tolerant to the presence of several interlayer cations, providing modularity and manufacturability. These findings establish 1DL NFs as a new class of inorganic antibacterial materials with transformative potential for smart antimicrobial coatings, biomedical interfaces, water purification, and food-safety applications.
