Multiple-twinned silver nanoparticles supported on mesoporous graphene with enhanced antibacterial activity

Myco-synthesis of multi-twinned silver nanoparticles as potential antibacterial and antimalarial agents

“…In recent years, it has been established that the multiple-twinned structure of the nanoparticles could increase the degree of exposure of the active Ag atoms and allow full exploitation of their activities. [7][8][9] Multitwinned Ag nanoparticles (MT-AgNPs) thus showed enhanced activities in comparison to normal spherical particles. Most of the previous reports of biologically synthesized metal nanoparticles produced normal spherical particles.…”

“…The control and prevention of microbial infections, especially in healthcare or public facilities, is a tremendous challenge because microorganisms are omnipresent and can be spread through air, water, and all kind of surfaces [7]. To combat these microbial pathogens, all kinds of antimicrobial agents, including antibiotics, disinfectants, antiseptics, and nano particles, have been developed [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, the widespread and careless use of antibiotics and disinfectants has led to the appearance of new strains of antimicrobialresistant microorganisms, dramatically exacerbating the antimicrobial problem [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
