The frequent outbreak of infectious respiratory diseases, such as the recent COVID-19 epidemic, raised the importance of indoor air quality. Removing microorganisms from indoor air is critical to improve indoor air quality. Numerous studies in recent years have been published on developing antimicrobial materials and technologies for antibacterial and antiviral applications. This study critically reviews the recent antimicrobial advances for improving indoor air quality. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the antimicrobial mechanisms, development of materials, and deployment strategies, as well as a performance evaluation of the antimicrobial implication for indoor air quality. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of future research directions are also highlighted.
