The development of atmospheric water generator has depended critically on the preparation of hygroscopic materials. In our systematic efforts toward porous frameworks for effective humidity reduction, a super hygroscopic materials,...
Traditional
methods of preparing regular-shaped silver chloride
nanoparticles for antiseptic use are complex. Squarelike AgCl nanoparticles
with an average size of about 400 nm were prepared using the two-dimensional
(2D) metal–organic framework nanosheet Ni(pyz)2Cl2 (pyz, pyrazine) and the surfactant polyvinyl pyrrolidone
(PVP), which exhibit enhanced antibiofilm properties compared with
common AgCl nanoparticles. This excellent performance can be attributed
to the stronger light absorption ability, which helps in producing
a larger amount of hydroxyl radicals that have a strong oxidative
function to destroy the structure of bacteria, as well as a larger
surface area, which aids in the release of more silver ions into the
bacterial cell. This work has provided a creative method for preparing
squarelike AgCl nanoparticles with uniform morphology that does not
easily agglomerate, showing an immense application prospect in the
antibacterial field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
