This study introduces localized surface plasmon resonance (L-SPR) mediated heating filter membrane (HFM) for inactivating universal viral particles by using the photothermal effect of plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NPs). Plasmonic metal NPs were coated onto filter membrane via a conventional spray-coating method. The surface temperature of the HFM could be controlled to approximately 40–60 °C at room temperature, owing to the photothermal effect of the gold (Au) NPs coated on them, under irradiation by visible light-emitting diodes. Due to the photothermal effect of the HFMs, the virus titer of H1Npdm09 was reduced by > 99.9%, the full inactivation time being < 10 min, confirming the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID(50)) assay. Crystal violet staining showed that the infectious samples with photothermal inactivation lost their infectivity against Mardin-Darby Canine Kidney cells. Moreover, photothermal inactivation could also be applied to reduce the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2, showing reduction rate of 99%. We used quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) techniques to confirm the existence of viral genes on the surface of the HFM. The results of the TCID(50) assay, crystal violet staining method, and qRT-PCR showed that the effective and immediate reduction in viral infectivity possibly originated from the denaturation or deformation of membrane proteins and components. This study provides a new, simple, and effective method to inactivate viral infectivity, leading to its potential application in various fields of indoor air quality control and medical science.

Simulation results of photothermal effect. For the simulation of the photothermal effect and temperature distribution generated by the HFM coated with Au NPs, we set up the model as shown in Fig. 1a . We assumed the size (diameter) of the Au NPs to be approximately 50 nm and the distance between the Au NPs to be 0.2 μm from each other, the Au NPs contact being point-like on the surface of the HFM. The surrounding materials were air (density: 1.225 kg/m 3 , specific heat: 1006.43 J/kg·K, thermal conductivity: 0.0242 W/m·K) and PET microfiber (density: 1380 kg/m 3 , specific heat: 1000 J/kg·K, thermal conductivity: 0.2 W/m·K). The simulation variables were light intensity, number of particles on the filter material, and the size of the Au NP.

Under visible light illumination, a single Au NP can generate local heat power, the heat source arisings from the Joule effect 35,36 : where Q single is the local heat generated by a single Au NP, C abs and I are the absorption cross section of a single Au NP and the incident optical power density, respectively. Moreover, the temperature change or increase around the Au NP array is due to the total number of Au NPs-the so-called ensemble effect-which can contribute to the total heat source (Q total ). With a certain number of Au NPs, the heat generation referred to as the specific absorption rate (SAR, W/m 3 ) is the sum of individual heat generation by all Au NPs, which can be defined as follows 37,38 : Thus, in the absence of phase change and heat convection, the heat diffusion equation can be expresses as follows:

Based on Eq. (1-3), Fig. 1b , c show the top and side views, respectively, of the temperature distribution by the photothermal effect of a 3 × 3 Au NP array. A single Au NP can generate L-SPR-driven heat energy and elevate the temperature up to approximately 2 mK under an optical power density of 100 mW/cm 2 (Fig. S2) . Moreover, the temperature at the center of the Au NP array was slightly higher than that of the neighboring Au NPs owing to the ensemble effect 38 .

We also simulated the increase in the surface temperature of the HFM with respect to the number of Au NP arrays and the incident optical power density, as shown in Fig. 1d . All arrays of Au NPs can generate heat and increase the surface temperature of the HFM linearly with the number of Au NP arrays and the increase in the incident optical power density. Finally, to inactivate the viral particles, we estimated the number of Au NPs per Characterization of the fabricated HFM. Based on the simulation results of the photothermal effect, we first prepared the HFM using a commercial HEPA filter material, conventionally spray-coated with plasmonic Au NPs. As shown in Fig. 2a , the average size and absorption peak of the as-synthesized Au NPs were approximately 50 nm in diameter and 532 nm in wavelength, respectively. We defined the effective particle number of Au NPs on the surface of the HFM to be approximately 5.0 × 10 8 per cm 2 for photothermal inactivation and calculated the optical density (OD) of the Au NPs suspension based on the method suggested by W. Haiss et al. in consideration of the amount of waste during the spray-coating process 39 . The final concentration and volume of spray-coating solution were set at 0.5 OD and 1 mL/cm 2 of Au NPs solution, respectively. The XRD patterns of the fabricated HFM-especially the PET supporting layer-coated and uncoated (pure filter membrane, PFM) with the Au NPs are shown in Fig. 2b . Compared with the peak of the PFM, the HFM exhibits an XRD peak of Au (111) at 38.12° of 2θ. In addition, in the case of the HFM, the peaks around 44 and 64 shifted slightly to 44.36 for Au (200) and 64.40 for Au (220), respectively 40 . This peak shift of the HFM to a higher angle may originate from the Au NPs on the surface of the HFM. We also investigated the FTIR spectrum, which showed that there was no chemical change in the HFM (Fig. S3) .

Figure 2c-f shows the optical, SEM, and TEM images of the HFM coated with Au NPs on the PET layer. The coated and uncoated areas displayed different colors that is, red-wine and white, respectively. Moreover, as seen in the SEM, TEM and TEM-EDS images of Fig. 2c-f , the Au NPs were uniformly spray-coated on the surface of the HFM.

Photothermal effect of the HFM. The surface temperature of the HFM, which originated from the photothermal effect of the plasmonic Au NPs, were investigated using thermal imaging techniques (TIC). The measurement setup for the photothermal effect of the HFM is illustrated schematically in the inset of Fig. 3a . Under visible LED light irradiation, we first measured the surface temperatures of the HFM with wavelengths of 530 and 560 nm LED lights using TIC. www.nature.com/scientificreports/ As shown in Fig. 3b , c, the resultant surface temperatures after 10 s of irradiation at 100 mW/cm 2 at RT were approximately 52 and 65 °C under 530 and 560 nm LED light irradiation, respectively (see video clips in supplementary materials). Compared with the temperature of the surrounding surface, the surface temperature irradiated by the 530 and 560 nm LED lights increased by 25 and 35 °C, respectively, over and above that of the normal surface, the PFM showing no increase in surface temperature, as shown in Fig. 3d . Although the absorbance of Au NPs dispersed in deionized (DI) water showed a maximum peak at 532 nm, the HFM showed a higher surface temperature under the 560 nm LED light than the 530 nm LED light. This red-shift in the absorption wavelength, which could generate the photothermal effect, was caused primarily by the change in the dielectric constant of the surrounding medium, such as the DI water, to PET microfibers, and by changes in the diameter of Au NPs due to aggregation during evaporation of the solvent 41 . Figure 3e shows the measured surface temperatures of the HFM with respect to the incident optical power density of 560 nm LED light irradiation, the surface temperatures of the HFM increasing at a speed of 0.35 °C/ mW (Fig. S4) . Moreover, the HFM did not show dramatic surface temperature changes even though irradiated by the higher optical power density (120 mW/cm 2 ) of the 560 nm LED, as shown in Fig. 3c , which led to an increase in the surface temperature of the HFM originating only from the photothermal effect of Au NPs under visible light irradiation (linear with respect to the absorbed optical power density). Thereafter, the photothermal stability of the HFM was tested for at least 100 consecutive cycles of surface temperature profiles under 560 nm LED light irradiation with an optical power density of 100 mW/cm 2 , as shown in Figs. 3f and S5. And, we also monitored the surface temperature fluctuation under continuous exposure of 560 nm LED light irradiation for 1 h (Fig. S6 ). This result shows that the HFM had high photothermal stability and repeatability, which is considered suitable for repeated experiments. Figure 3g shows the measured and simulated surface temperatures of the HFM. Comparing the measured surface temperature of the HFM with the simulated results, the Au NPs were uniformly coated on the surface of the HFM, the number of Au NPs on the surface being expected to be between 10 8 and 10 9 per cm 2 (as mentioned in the fabrication and simulation processes of the HFM). These surface temperatures were sufficient for irreversibly injuring biological specimens, including viral particles, leading to a dramatic activation of cell death above 48 °C and instantaneous and irreversible protein denaturation above 60 °C 42 .

For the photothermal inactivation (PTI) of the H1N1pdm09 virus, the HFM was placed in the inactivation kit and the reference stock of the H1N1pdm09 virus was loaded onto its surface, as shown in Fig. 4a . After the virus stock solutions were loaded by using the pipette, the PTI was conducted with a visible 560 nm LED light. The optical power density of the incident LED light source (wavelength: 560 nm) and the irradiated active area of the filter membrane were fixed at 100 mW/cm 2 and 1 × 1 cm 2 , respectively, in all the PTI experiments, all of which were sterilized by UV-C irradiation for 20 min before use to prevent contamination.

We first investigated the inactivation time of the H1N1pdm09 virus (3log 10 TCID 50 /mL or 3-log) under the photothermal effect, as shown in Fig. 4b . With respect to the PTI time, the titers of the H1N1pdm09 virus of 3-log S7) . Based on the simulation results of an earlier study, a 3-log reduction in the concentration of the virus-which normally represents a 99.9% reduction-could be achieved in approximately 3 min under exposure to a temperature of 70 °C 43 . In addition, Tulandhar et al. 44 reported that a 3-log infectivity reduction of the H1N1 virus could be achieved after 30 min when the H1N1 virus suspended in DMEM was treated at 56 °C. Generally, inactivation www.nature.com/scientificreports/ methods such as UV-C and heat treatment recommend that the inactivation time should be > 15 min, making PTI a simple and sufficient inactivation method for virus infectivity. Subsequently, we also performed the photothermal inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 virus with the HFM. As shown in Fig. S8 , the plaque assay showed that the photothermal inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 virus was less effective than that of H1N1pdm09 virus. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 virus, when the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 virus is 4-log or more, the photothermal inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 virus dropped sharply. This shows that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is more contagious or infective than H1N1pdm09 virus, and thus the photothermal inactivation is lower. Therefore, we newly introduced and fabricated an HFM with Au/TiO 2 deposited using a sputtering evaporator (s-HFM, Fig. S9) , showing higher surface temperature than the HFM. The thicknesses of the Au and TiO 2 layers were 10 and 200 nm, respectively. Figure 5a shows the surface temperature of the PFM and s-HFM under 560 nm LED light irradiation (optical power density = 100 mW/cm 2 ). The surface temperatures of the PFM and s-HFM increased approximately up to 31 and 70 °C, respectively at RT. We tested the PTI of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (BetaCoV/South Korea/2020, 3-log) using the PFM and s-HFM (Fig. 5) b, c. Upon visible light illumination, the virus titer of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the s-HFM decreased from 3-log to 1-log in comparison with the virus stock of original SARS-CoV-2 virus, leading to a 99% reduction in viral infectivity, while the virus titer on the PFM decreased only slightly. These results show that PTI could be applied to several corona-shaped viral particles, including the H1N1pdm09 and SARS-CoV-2 viruses.

Thereafter, we prepared three doses of the reference stocks of the H1N1pdm09 virus (low dose: 3-log; medium dose: 4log 10 TCID 50 /mL or 4-log; high dose: 5log 10 TCID 50 /mL or 5-log). Equal volumes (100 μL) of the H1N1pdm09 virus were coated onto the surface of the PFM without PTI and the HFM with PTI. Figure 6a shows the assessed titer of the H1N1pdm09 virus subjected to PTI for 10 min and 1 h. All infectious samples of 3-log, 4-log, and 5-log original reference stocks showed their own infectivity, and the infectious samples of the PFM remained in the air for 1 h, also maintaining high viral infectivity. By contrast, the infectious samples derived from the HFM with doses of 3-log and 4-log were fully inactivated under PTI for both 10 min and 1 h. Figure 6b shows photographs of the crystal violet staining and the CPE of the MDCK cells with respect to the dose of virus stock and exposure time of PTI. Without PTI, all infectious samples remaining on the surface of the PFM in the air were the most viable after 1 h-they could infect the MDCK cells and induce CPE in them. www.nature.com/scientificreports/ With PTI for 10 min and 1 h, more than 99.9% of the H1N1pdm09 virus was removed or their infectivity was lost. Consequently, no CPE was observed in both the 3-log and 4-log cases. However, although dramatic reduction of the viral infectivity was observed at 3-log and 4-log concentrations of the virus stock, the virus titer of the 5-log case decreased logarithmically from 5.0-log to 3.3-log and from 5.0-log to 2.67-log after 10 min and 1 h of PTI, respectively. When the dose of virus stock was 5-log, the CPE of the MDCK cells was also observed, as shown in 6b. These logarithmic reduction rates show that they decreased from 10 5 to 10 3.3 and from 10 5 to 10 2.67 , leading to reduction rates of 97% and 99.7%, respectively. This result may originate from the absolute population of the live viruses in the infectious samples. Furthermore, the PTI kit or the HFM might have had limited inactivation capability due to the restricted active area of 1 × 1 cm 2 .

The existence of the H1N1pdm09 virus on the HFM. To confirm the existence of the H1N1pdm09 virus on the surface of the HFM, we performed quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay, which is normally used for the detection of all types of viruses, especially the M-gene for influenza A viruses. Here, we used the sequence of 5′-FAM-TCA GGC CTC AAA GCC GA-TAMRA-3′ as a doublelabelled probe to detect the M-gene of the H1N1pdm09 virus (Table 1) . We prepared infectious samples derived www.nature.com/scientificreports/ from the PFM and HFM, including the H1N1pdm09 virus reference stock of 7-log as a high-dose sample and 3-log as a normal dose sample. Figure 7 shows the cycle threshold (Ct) values for each infectious sample. The average Ct values of each sample were 9.87 for 7-log H1N1pdm09, 19.82 for 3-log, 23.53 for the PFM without PTI, and 23.91 for the HFM with PTI. These results show that the M-gene of the H1N1pdm09 virus was seen in all infectious samples. In particular, the Ct values of both the PFM without PTI and HFM with PTI were almost the same, implying that the same concentration (or dose) of the H1N1pdm09 virus existed on both the PFM and HFM surfaces. Furthermore, comparing the infectious samples of 3-log on the PFM and HFM, there was no dramatic difference in the Ct values, indicating that the PTI did not seriously damage the generic information of the H1N1pdm09 virus. Also, we performed simple RNA extraction-free qRT-PCR suggested by I. Smyrlaki et al. 11 (Fig. S10) . Without RNA extraction process, the Ct valuses of 3-log reference stock and 3-log on HFM with PTI were averagely 29.46 and 22.74, respectively. For both cases of 3-log H1N1pdm09 virus with and without the RNA extraction process, the Ct values were almost same, indicating that the RNA of H1N1pdm09 virus was naturally extracted by the PTI.

The results of the TCID 50 assay and crystal violet staining showed that the H1N1pdm09 virus lost its ability to infect mammalian cells under PTI. And, the Ct values of each infectious sample showed that the heat generated by the photothermal effect did not cause significant changes in genetic information, so that the M-gene of the H1N1pdm09 virus could be easily detected by qRT-PCR. Moreover, we confirmed that the genetic information of H1N1pdm09 virus was easily obtained via the RNA extraction-free RT-PCR.

In order to figure out PTI mechanism of H1N1pdm09 virus, we investigated the structural changes of H1N1pdm09 virus under the PTI via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Figure 8 describes the suggested PTI model of the H1N1pdm09 virus. In this work, the HFM coated with the plasmonic Au NPs could absorb 560 nm LED light and immediately convert light energy into thermal energy, resulting in an increase in the surface temperature up to approximately 60 °C at RT. This range of surface temperatures could damage or kill the virus via thermal attack, leading to damage of membrane protein, the breakage or phase change of phospholipid bilayers over the transition temperature T m , which has an important effect on the structure of the biological membrane, including cells, bacteria, and viruses 45 . In addition, as a similar inactivation process to PTI, Korneev et al. suggested that photodynamic inactivation treatment of a virus induces the removal or damage of viral surface glycoprotein, leading to non-infectious viral particles 46 . Therefore, we expect that PTI could firstly destroy the viral membrane proteins via thermal attack as shown in TEM images of Fig. 8 . Secondly, the continuous thermal attack can give rise to the thinner lipid bilayer of H1N1pmd09 virus. Eventually, the lipid bilayer of H1N1pdm09 virus is burst and the RNA of H1N1pdm09 virus is extracted outside the lipid bilayer of H1N1pdm09 virus.

In addition, Yap et al. introduced an analytical framework to understand the effects of temperature fluctuations on virus lifetime. This previous work suggested that the magnitude of temperature fluctuation become more significant than a steady-state mean temperature in predicting virus lifetime 47 . In the future, it would be valuable 

In summary, we fabricated an HFM conventionally spray-coated with plasmonic Au NPs to eliminate the infectivity of the corona-shaped H1N1pdm09 virus. The photothermal effect was significantly and immediately induced in the HFM under visible LED light irradiation, resulting in a rapid increase in the surface temperature to an average of 60 °C at RT. With this HFM, for the 3-log and the 4-log virus stock cases, the reduction rates of the virus titer reached > 99.9% in just 10 min. Moreover, the infectivity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus could be reduced by 99% using s-HFM as an alternative candidate for the HFM. However, at a higher concentration of 5-log of the virus stock, reduction rates of 97% and 99.7% were obtained after 10 min and 1 h of the photothermal treatment, respectively. In addition, the results of qRT-PCR showed that the M-gene of all infectious samples remained on the surface of the HFM without thermal damage. These results show that the PTI driven by the L-SPR of the plasmonic Au NPs could immediately and effectively inactivate the H1N1pdm09 virus. Furthermore, we can expect that viral inactivation originates from the denaturation of membrane proteins or the fragmentation of viral particles. As a result, this work provides an effective PTI method, which could be another candidate for reducing viral transmission in the field of air quality control in conjunction with the capture of viral particles by the filter materials and for extracting genetic information from photothermally inactivated viruses for qRT-PCR.

Preparation of Au NPs. Plasmonic Au NPs were synthesized using a seed mediated method, as described elsewhere 48, 49 . In a typical procedure, 50 mL of an aqueous gold chloride (HAuCl 4 ; 2.0 × 10 -4 M) solution is heated to its boiling point in a flask followed by the rapid addition of 0.5 mL of a sodium citrate (NaC 6 Numerical simulation of photothermal effect. The photothermal effect and temperature distributions were simulated using Ansys Fluent software (Ansys Inc., Pennsylvania, USA). Here, the material properties of Au NPs, such as the absorption cross-section and thermal conductivity, can be found in the literatures [52] [53] [54] . For the simulation of the photothermal effect and temperature distributions, we assumed that (1) The system was in www.nature.com/scientificreports/ a steady state; (2) The incident optical power of the light source was constant; and (3) There was no convective flow. We also focused on the absorption of light on the surface of the Au NPs in the scope of this work.

For the PTI of H1N1pdm09 virus, we first prepared the HFM based on HEPA filter material purchased from Korea Coen, consisting of PET as a supporting layer and PP as a filtration layer. The as-synthesized Au NPs were conventionally spray-coated onto the surface of the supporting layer, which was then dried with nitrogen gas, and then baked in an oven for 2 h at 50 °C to evaporate excess solvent remaining on the surface of the HFM (Fig. S11 ). In addition, s-HFM was fabricated by conventional semiconducting process of sputtering evaporation. The base and deposition pressures of the chamber were 1 × 10 -5 and 2.0 × 10 -3 Torr, respectively. The deposition rate of Au and TiO 2 were 10 nm/min at 40 W and 3.5 nm/min at 100 W, respectively. The target thickness of Au/TiO 2 was 20 nm/200 nm. After fabricating the HFM, infrared spectra of the HFM were obtained using a FTIR spectrometer (Nicolet iS50, Thermo Fisher Scientific Instrument, USA) in the range of 400-4000 cm −1 with a resolution of 2 cm −1 . X-ray diffraction (XRD) results were obtained using an X-ray diffractometer (SmartLab, Rigaku, Japan) with Cu-Kα radiation operated at 40 kV and 30 mA in the 5° to 90° range of 2θ with an internal angle of 0.2°. The size and morphology of the Au NPs and filter fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JSM6500F, JEOL, Japan) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM, Tecnai G2 F30 S-TWIN, FEI Company, USA). Moreover, to measure the surface temperature of the HFM due to the photothermal effect, 530 and 560 nm LEDs (LED, SW530A(500mW class) and SW560A(800mW class), ORCA Science, USA) were used as light sources. Under irradiation by the light sources, the surface temperature was recorded using a thermal imaging camera (TIC, PI640, Optrics GmBH, Germany) at room temperature (RT, 20-25 °C).

To determine virus titer (or activity), we used the TCID 50 assay and crystal violet staining method, which relies on the morphological change of the host cells after being infected by the H1N1pdm09 virus 55, 56 . The H1N1pdm09 virus titer was examined by injecting 100 μL of tenfold dilutions of infectious samples into wells seeded with MDCK cells and then calculating the TCID 50 using the method suggested by Reed and Muench 57 (More details in Supplementary Information).

We also conducted qRT-PCR to detect the matrix (M)-gene of the H1N1pdm09 virus using the gene-specific primer and hydrolysis probe set used in the qRT-PCR, as shown in Table 1 . The hydrolysis probe was labelled with carboxyfluorescein (FAM) reporter dye at the 5' end and with 6-carboxyltetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) quencher dye at the 3' end. The qRT-PCR, for detecting the M-gene of the H1N1pdm09 virus, was performed using a SenisiFAST Probe No-ROX One-Step KIT (BIOLINE, Taunton, MA, USA) (More details in Supplementary Information) .
