As a novel sterilization technology (i.e., catalytic disinfection), a disinfectant with high efficiency, economy, safety, and/or long lifespan is sought, while the mechanism is to be revealed. Herein, compared with noble Ag, Cu adopted has successfully modulated CuNPs/ZnIn2S4 (Cu/ZIS) disinfectants...
