Abstract:

Graphic carbon nanocages (GCNCs) are composed of graphite shells synthesized from carbonyl iron as precursors. The GCNCs could rapidly convert laser light energy to heat under 671 nm laser irradiation. $\textit{E. coli}$ incubated with 0.1 mg/mL of GCNCs were completely killed after 15 min of 671 nm laser irradiation, while the growth of $\textit{E. coli}$ was not affected by the GCNCs without laser irradiation. As GCNCs have huge internal cavity for loading drugs, these nanomaterials may be excellent carriers for multimodal bacteria killing.

Key words: graphic carbon (GCNCs), photothermal conversion, killing
