In article number 1904603, Jianping Xie, Po‐Yen Chen, and co‐workers establish a synergistic antimicrobial agent through the complexation of paramagnetic ions (holmium ions, Ho 3+ ) and the conjugation of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) onto graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The synergistic antimicrobial ability is achieved by disrupting the bacterial metabolism physically (via GO alignment under magnetic field inserting bacteria) and chemically (via GO and AuNCs producing reactive oxygen species) simultaneously.
