Research progress of inorganic nano-antiviral materials and their antiviral detection technology
Viral infection is a serious health challenge facing humanity,and the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for antiviral materials,especially in public places.This paper discusses the design principles of antiviral materials from the morphology,characteristics and life cycle process of viruses.Then,the work of several widely studied metals and metal compounds,light response type semiconductor,graphene,composite,etc.with antiviral functionality is reviewed,their microbial inactivation mechanisms as well as performance are summarized and discussed.The methods for detecting virus activity on materials and the standardization of related products are also reviewed.In the end,the future development of antiviral materials and its evaluation technology are prospected.
