Bacterial infection is posing a great threat to human life, and constructing a platform to capture or kill the bacteria attached on a material surface is of particular significance. Herein, a nano-topographic material surface (SiNW-p-ppix@CDm) has been successfully synthesized based on silicon nanow...
