In this work, metallic phase and semiconducting phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) embedded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were developed as antibacterial urinary catheters with photothermal sterilization. The metallic phase MoS2 (1T-MoS2) was synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method, and an annealing process transformed it into the semiconducting phase (2H-MoS2). The optical and structural characterizations confirmed the successful preparations of 1T-MoS2 nanosheets (1T-MoS2 NSs) and 2H-MoS2 NSs. The increase in the contents of 1T-MoS2 NSs and 2H-MoS2 NSs in PDMS resulted in enhanced photothermal conversion, a slight decrease in the water contact angle, and no significant changes in the mechanical properties of the samples. The bacterial growth curves demonstrated the remarkable ability of phase-dependent 1T- and 2H-MoS2 NSs-embedded PDMS urinary catheters to inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus with near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. In the agar plate test, exposing PDMS with 0.3% 1T-MoS2 or 2H-MoS2 to NIR for 10 min demonstrated excellent antibacterial effects, completely eradicating E. coli and eliminating over 99.9% of S. aureus. The SEM image results highlighted the significant photothermal antibacterial effect of 1T-MoS2 PDMS and 2H-MoS2 PDMS urinary catheters, effectively damaging and eradicating both E. coli and S. aureus. The 1T-MoS2 PDMS and 2H-MoS2 PDMS urinary catheters, with excellent photothermal effects, good hydrophobicity, and superior mechanical properties, demonstrated their potential as photothermal antibacterial catheters for clinical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27114806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T16:17:58Z","timestamp":1779812278000},"page":"4806","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Phase-Dependent MoS2 Nanosheets-Embedded Urinary Catheter for Advanced Photothermal Sterilization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5901-5205","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Saukani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Islam Kalimantan MAB, Banjarmasin 70124, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chien-Hung","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Taipei Medical University Hospital, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"},{"name":"Taipei Neuroscience Institute, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Biomedical Optomechatronics, College of Biomedical Engineering, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dyah Ika","family":"Krisnawati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, Surabaya 60237, Indonesia"},{"name":"Center for Continuing Care Research (C3R), Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, Surabaya 60237, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hsiu-Yi","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Biomedical Materials and Tissue Engineering, College of Biomedical Engineering, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andy C.","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Taipei Medical University Hospital, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"},{"name":"TMU Research Center of Urology and Kidney and Department of Urology, School of Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4937-951X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsung-Rong","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Nanomedicine and Medical Engineering, College of Biomedical Engineering, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"},{"name":"International Ph.D. Program in Biomedical Engineering, College of Biomedical Engineering, Taipei Medical University, Taipei City 110, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2321","DOI":"10.2147\/IDR.S177247","article-title":"Health care-associated infections\u2014An overview","volume":"11","author":"Haque","year":"2018","journal-title":"Infect.
