- Microbial contamination of biomedical surfaces is an important clinical challenge, driving the development of new antibacterial materials. Nanoprotrusions on the wing surface of some insects have intrinsic antibacterial and antifouling properties, which inspires fabrication of biomimetic nanopatterns on medical devices. Herein, we report a broad-spectrum bactericidal surface consisting of graphene nanospikes synthesized by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Similar coatings have been reported before, but the killing mechanism and main parameters for efficiency of such coatings have not been clarified. We investigated the correlation of anti-biofilm efficiency of graphene nanospikes to their major physicochemical parameters. While height and thickness of nanospikes did not directly correlate with bactericidal effects, edge/defect density showed linear correlation with lethality for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. We further demonstrated that the killing mechanism is synergistic, depending on physical rupture of bacterial membranes as well as considerable oxidative damage to the cells. Of note, for the first time, we quantify the level of oxidative stress induced by graphene nanospikes in two bacterial species using genetically encoded biosensors. Our work provides a fundamental understanding of the impact of various parameters of graphene nanostructures on the bactericidal efficiency, enabling rational design of graphene-based bactericidal surfaces.
