Abstract: Micro/nano carbon materials, including activated carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon dots and carbon aerogels, have a low production cost, excellent biocompatibility and physicochemical and mechanical properties when used as antibacterial materials and carriers for giving wound dressings a strong bactericidal activity and improved wound healing ability. Here, highly innovative antibacterial agents and antibacterial dressings based on these micro/nano carbon materials, that provide new alternatives to treat infected wounds are reviewed. The current problems for their use in antibacterial dressings are discussed, possible solutions are proposed, and prospects are considered.
