With the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which has incalculable disasters and economic losses, people have given increasing attention to the health and safety of textile and fiber materials. In this study, an eco-friendly, facile, and cost-effective wet-spinning cellulose carbamate fiber technology was developed, and N-halamine regenerated cellulose fiber (RCC-Cl) with rechargeable and rapid bactericidal properties were prepared by the Lewis acid-assisted chlorination method. The chemical properties of the fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The mechanical and surface topography of the treated fiber was investigated by tensile testing and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the mechanical properties of RCC-Cl fibers can reach a breaking strength of 12.1 cN/tex and a breaking elongation of 41.4% with the optimized spinning process. Furthermore, RCC-Cl showed excellent antimicrobial activities, which can inactivate Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 10 7  CFU/mL within 1 min. This work provided a novel approach to produce regenerated cellulose fibers with antibacterial properties, showing great potential in the field of functional textiles.
