Synthesis and Analysis of Ag-Ag2O/Supported TiO2 for using as a Bactericide
Keywords:
Ag-Ag2O, supported TiO2, XRD, SEM, Antibacterial activityAbstract
TiO2 and Ag-Ag2O/supported TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a cyclic-microwave method. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible spectroscopy, including the determination for antibacterial activity through the use of
S. aureus and E. coli as a model. In this research, the mixed phases of bactericide exhibited excellent antibacterial activities: 100% for both S. aureus and E. coli by
0.005 – 1 w/v% of 0.8 mmol Ag-Ag2O/supported TiO2, except for 62.82% of S. aureus by 0.005 w/v% of the bactericide.
