An Injectable Chitosan-based Hydrogel Incorporating Carbon Dots with Dual Enzyme-Mimic Activities for Synergistically Treatment of Bacteria Infected Wounds

Bacterial infections pose a serious threat to human health, and the emergence of superbugs and the growing antibiotic resistance phenomenon have made the development of novel antimicrobial products. In this paper, an ultrasmall Cu, N co-doped carbon dots (CDs-Cu-N) with excellent peroxidase mimic activity and enhanced catalase mimic activity was successfully prepared and anchored to an injectable chitosan (CS)-based hybrid hydrogel. As expected, the CDs-Cu-N-H
