Abstract

A novel ionized heavy-atom-free two-dimensional organic nanosheet was prepared and exhibited highly selective generation of singlet oxygen under both light and ultrasound excitation. These ionized nanosheets displayed excellent dispersibility in water and enhanced singlet oxygen production efficiency compared to their non-assembled monomers. Antimicrobial experiments have revealed their potent bactericidal effects on drug-resistant E. coli and S. aureus under both visible light and ultrasound irradiation.
