The design of self-cleaning materials, which can continuously decompose biological contaminants, is an urgent task for environmental protection and human health care. In this study, the surface of blended cotton\/polyester fabric was functionalized with N-doped TiO2 (TiO2-N) nanoparticles using titanium(IV) isopropoxide as a binder to form durable photoactive coating and additionally decorated with Cu species to promote its self-cleaning properties. The photocatalytic ability of the material with photoactive coating was investigated in oxidation of acetone vapor, degradation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragments of various lengths, and inactivation of PA136 bacteriophage virus and Candida albicans fungi under visible light and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation. The kinetic aspects of inactivation and degradation processes were studied using the methods of infrared (IR) spectroscopy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), double-layer plaque assay, and ten-fold dilution. The results of experiments showed that the textile fabric modified with TiO2-N photocatalyst exhibited photoinduced self-cleaning properties and provided efficient degradation of all studied contaminants under exposure to both UVA and visible light. Additional modification of the material with Cu species substantially improved its self-cleaning properties, even in the absence of light.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26157550","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,6]],"date-time":"2025-08-06T07:45:11Z","timestamp":1754466311000},"page":"7550","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Visible-Light-Driven Degradation of Biological Contaminants on the Surface of Textile Fabric Modified with TiO2-N Photocatalyst"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5233-7161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Solovyeva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Educational Center \u201cInstitute of Chemical Technologies\u201d, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St. 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Competence Center of the National Technological Initiative \u201cHydrogen as the Basis of a Low-Carbon Economy\u201d, Lavrentieva Ave. 7, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1885-0567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evgenii","family":"Zhuravlev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS, Lavrentieva Ave. 8, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuliya","family":"Kozlova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS, Lavrentieva Ave. 8, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3872-4122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alevtina","family":"Bardasheva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS, Lavrentieva Ave. 8, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0869-3476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vera","family":"Morozova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS, Lavrentieva Ave. 8, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3393-3192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grigory","family":"Stepanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemical Biology and Fundamental Medicine SB RAS, Lavrentieva Ave. 8, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4107-8694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denis","family":"Kozlov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Educational Center \u201cInstitute of Chemical Technologies\u201d, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St. 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Competence Center of the National Technological Initiative \u201cHydrogen as the Basis of a Low-Carbon Economy\u201d, Lavrentieva Ave. 7, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3410-0312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikhail","family":"Lyulyukin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Educational Center \u201cInstitute of Chemical Technologies\u201d, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St. 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Competence Center of the National Technological Initiative \u201cHydrogen as the Basis of a Low-Carbon Economy\u201d, Lavrentieva Ave. 7, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9930-8149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dmitry","family":"Selishchev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Educational Center \u201cInstitute of Chemical Technologies\u201d, Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova St. 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"},{"name":"Competence Center of the National Technological Initiative \u201cHydrogen as the Basis of a Low-Carbon Economy\u201d, Lavrentieva Ave. 7, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1038\/s41579-021-00639-z","article-title":"Infectious Disease in an Era of Global Change","volume":"20","author":"Baker","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nat.
