This technology works by simultaneously deactivating pathogens on N95 masks and restoring their electrostatic charges. The filtration efficiency of N95s were kept ~95% after up to 10 times of treatment. The physical and biological disinfection mechanism will be discussed. Portable and affordable mask and surface disinfection devices are expected to benefit the society.
