“…These peaks are assigned to the (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), and (112) planes of the wurtzite phase of ZnO, as reported in the literature 61 . The XRD patterns of the ZnO/Ag antibacterial agents had four new diffraction peaks at 2θ = 38.2°, 44.3°, 64.5°, and 77.5°, corresponding to (111, 200, 220, 311) of metallic silver, confirming the existence of zero‐valent silver 62 . Ag ions may be impossible to replace themselves in the ZnO matrix crystal lattice.…”
