Scheme 1

Illustration of the advanced photocatalytic and photothermal antibacterial therapy by the photo-activated Cu3SnS4 NFs. The electrostatic interaction, the ROS mediated oxidative damage, and the photothermal inactivation play a synergistic role in Cu3SnS4 NFs mediated antibacterial effect, which leads to obvious cell membrane damage to both Gram-negative E. coli and Gram-positive MRSA strains. Additionally, the copper ions released from the Cu3SnS4 NFs facilitate the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, which contributes to the revascularization of wounds and acceleration of wound healing
