Two-Dimensional Ultrathin Multilayers ZIF-8 Nanosheets with Sustained Antibacterial Efficacy for Aeromonas Hydrophila

In this study, a simple and efficient strategy with bola-form template to construct the two-dimensional ultrathin multilayers ZIF-8 nanosheets was developed, the nanosheet was used as antibacterial for Aeromonas hydrophila ( A. hydrophila ) for the first time. It shows the obviously lamellar structure with eleven ZIF-8 lamellar crystal layers uniformly distributed in each nanosheet, the thickness of the whole nanosheet is approximately 36 nm, and the distance between the two adjacent layers is approximately 3.6 nm. It has the high antibacterial efficacy for A. hydrophila , which can be killed within 8 h.
