This work explored strontium titanate ferrite (SrTi1−xFexO3−δ or STFx in short) metal oxide as an effective antibacterial agent and investigated its bactericidal mechanism. The perovskite STFx nanoparticles (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1) were successfully synthesized with high energy ball milling...
