Abstract

Seasonal influenza viruses have long affected human health and social economy. In particular, influenza virus has characteristics of strong infectivity, fast transmission and easy mutation. Compared to vaccine prevention, daily protection is essential. Stainless steel products are used extensively, posing a high risk of virus transmission via surface touching. In this study, we develop a Cu-bearing stainless steel with excellent anti-pathogen property against influenza virus, which can distinctly reduce more than 95 % of viable influenza virus on its surface within 6 h. Significantly, the results confirmed that the reactive oxygen species induced by Cu-bearing stainless steel can lead lipid peroxidation of the viral envelope, which is responsible for the antiviral performance.
