Efficient inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus by silver and copper loaded photocatalytic titanate nanotubes

One dimensional titanate nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized by microwave assisted alkaline hydrothermal process. The process was followed by UV-photodeposition of Ag and Cu on the surface of TNTs to enhance the photocatalytic activity in visible light spectrum. The loading of Ag and Cu (single and co...
