Abstract The ongoing SARS-CoV2 pandemic has posed a significant challenge to global health,leading researchers to search for effective materials that can combat its spread. Ag-basedsemiconductor oxides have been identified as a promising solution due to their abilityto generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that can kill microorganisms and prevent itstransmission. This research proposal aims to further explore the potential of Ag-basedsemiconductors in combating the SARS-CoV2 virus and other microorganisms by applying a high-throughput computational approach using Density Functional Theory toanalyze the surface stabilities and reactivities of these Ag-based materials. The ultimategoal of this research is to improve public health outcomes by providing insights into themost effective Ag-based materials for ROS formation and the inhibition of microorganism transmission. | |
