Antibacterial activity of the thin ZnO film formed by atomic layer deposition under UV-A light
Chemical Engineering Journal(2017)
Abstract
•A thin ZnO film was fabricated on a glass substrate using atomic layer deposition.•The thin ZnO film consisted of vertically-grown closely-packed nano-sized grains.•The thin ZnO film generated ROS under UV-A light like ZnO nanoparticles.•Antibacterial mechanism was due to cellular membrane damage by produced ROS.•The thin ZnO film has practical importance for water disinfection.
