An antibacterial platform based on capacitive carbon-doped TiO2 nanotubes after direct or alternating current charging

Bacteria are known to be sensitive to electrical interactions with the environment. Here, the authors report on a study into how the antibacterial properties of carbon-doped titania nanotubes are affected by capacitance after charging with direct and alternating currents.
