Burst plasma preparation of metallic nanoparticles on carbon fabrics for antibacterial and electrocatalytic applications by Guiyin Xu, Zheyi Meng, Yunteng Cao, Zixu Tao, Qing-Jie Li, Myles Stapelberg, Bing Han, Rui Gao, Qipeng Yu, Meng Gu, Benedetto Marelli, Hailiang Wang, Meifang Zhu, Ju Li

“…These self-supporting, nanoparticle-loaded carbon fabrics are mechanically robust and have been tested as antibacterial substrates and electrocatalysts for reducing carbon dioxide and nitrite. A piece of silver–carbon nanotube paper with a silver loading of ~0.13 mg cm−2 treated after a few-second plasmashock presents good antibacterial and electrocatalytic properties in wastewater, even after 20 bactericidal immersion cycles, due to the strong bonding of the nanoparticles to the substrate. …”
