Visible Light Photocatalysts for Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) Prevention and Control

Project Lead(s): Cheng Lu

Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) are global health challenge, but more so in developing countries, where HAIs are poorly executed due to financial and related reasons. Our approach is to enable removal of bacteria from surfaces in clinics and hospitals using an nontoxic inexpensive coating that has a persistent long term effect.
