Studies on Microwave Non-Thermal Sterilization Enhanced by Ag@TiO2 Core-Shell Particles

Microwave is widely used in the inactivation of microorganisms, but its low energy efficiency and high heating temperature limit its application scenarios. This paper hopes to solve this problem by preparing microwave non-thermal effect enhancer. In this study, the inactivation performance of nano-Ag, TiO
2
and Ag@TiO
2
on bacteria under microwave radiation were compared. The results show that Ag@TiO
2
has a unique enhancement effect on microwave sterilization.
