Pathogenic bacteria have been threatening the daily life of human beings. More effective methods without causing drug-resistance of bacteria need to be developed to fight against these pathogens. Herein, flower-like CuS/graphene oxide (GO) hybrids have been successfully synthesized via simple one-po...
