Facile Preparation of Ag2S/Ag Semiconductor/Metal Heteronanostructures with Remarkable Antibacterial Properties

Ag2S/Ag heterostructure nanoparticles with narrow size distribution are synthesized by a one-pot method at room temperature. The prepared nanohybrids show excellent photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli under UV irradiation.
