Abstract:
A polyoxometalate hosting Ag+, [AgP5W30O110]14-, has been studied for its sustained and controlled release of Ag+ triggered by Na+ replacement at room temperature for long-lasting bacteriostasis, whose antibacterial activity is not eliminated after repeated exposure tests because of the protection of Ag+ by the polyoxometalate skeleton.
