Abstract

Oxygen can be made into a reactive form—singlet oxygen—upon excitation. It is useful for chemical reactions, treating water impurities, and aiding in medicinal therapy. Here, Samperi et al. report the preparation of nanofibers that generate this form of oxygen far more efficiently than the dissolved photosensitizer used until now.
