In order to realize a filter for preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and anthrax spores, here we designed and fabricated a filter device consisting of folded pieces of Ni foam in multiple compartments connected electrically in series to efficiently increase the resistance to a manageable level so that a temperature up to 250 was able to be achieved, and found that the filter device exhibits almost 100% ability to catch and kill aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 and anthrax spores in air passed once through the Ni foam heated up to 200 (temperature optimization will be addressed in a future study). ./cache/cord-332300-5osg046o.txt ./txt/cord-332300-5osg046o.txt
