description | Bacterial infections and transmission threaten human health and well-being. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C(3)N(4)), a promising photocatalytic antibacterial nanomaterial, has attracted increasing attention to combat bacterial transmission, due to the outstanding stability, high efficiency and environmental sustainability of this material. However, the antibacterial efficiency of g-C(3)N(4) is affected by several factors, including its specific surface area, rapid electron/hole recombination processes and optical absorption properties. To improve the efficiency of the antibacterial properties of g-C(3)N(4) and extend its range of applications, various nanocomposites have been prepared and evaluated. In this review, the advances in amplifying the photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency of g-C(3)N(4)-based nanocomposites is discussed, including different topologies, noble metal decoration, non-noble metal doping and heterojunction construction. The enhancement mechanisms and synergistic effects in g-C(3)N(4)-based nanocomposites are highlighted. The remaining challenges and future perspectives of antibacterial g-C(3)N(4)-based nanocomposites are also discussed. |
