Abstract
Photothermal disinfection (PTD) offers promising potential for water purification due to its sustainable and broad-spectrum bactericidal properties, although it is hindered by slow charge separation in photosensitizers. Herein, we present a plasma-mediated PTD technique utilizing an efficient localized heating effect induced by incident light at specific wavelengths for rapid bacterial inactivation. A metallic CuS photosensitizer, derived from electronic waste through a biomimetic transmembrane confined-assembled strategy, facilitates collective and coherent oscillation of free electrons around Cu atoms in the near-infrared range. The resulting plasmon resonance effect generates abundant high-energy hot carriers, further enhancing the separation efficiency of carriers generated by plasmon-induced intrinsic excitation. The nonradiative dissipation of these carriers triggers a significant localized heating effect in water matrices, leading to comprehensive PTD performance against E. coli and B. subtilis . This study highlights the role of the plasmonic heating effect from waste-derived photosensitizers in enhancing PTD performance, inspiring the development of advanced water disinfection technologies.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
