Photocatalysis has been a research hotspot in recent years,and the design and modification of photocat-alysts have been the key points.Common methods for designing photocatalysts,including constructing heterojunctions and homojunctions,have been developed on the basis of heterojunctions.In this study,two homojunctions of manganese dioxide(MnO2),including a high-index crystal plane homojunction and a general homojunction,are prepared using a stepwise hydrothermal method.Using a capping agent,the high-index crystal surface of the MnO2 is exposed.It is found that the electron transport efficiency be-tween the two components of the homojunction with high-index planes is higher and the adsorption capacity of the oxygen is stronger,which leads to higher photocatalytic efficiency.In addition,the newly designed high-index homojunction is used for the treatment of bacterial infections,and it kills Staphy-lococcus aureus(S.aureus)and Escherichia coli(E.coli)at rates of 99.95%±0.04%and 99.31%±0.25%,respectively.It also has excellent therapeutic effects on mouse wounds,which implies superb practical application value.This work provides a new strategy for the improved design of homojunctions and the application of photocatalytic materials.
