Preparation and Characterization of the Antibacterial Cu Nanoparticle Formed on the Surface of SiO2 Nanoparticles

Abstract: Cu deposition on the surface of spherical SiO2 nanoparticles was studied to achieve the hybrid structure of Cu-SiO2 nanocomposite. SiO2 nanoparticles served as seeds for continuous Cu metal deposition. The chemical structure and morphology were studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The antibacterial properties of the Cu-SiO2 nanocomposite were examined with disk diffusion assays. The hom… Show more

“…As reported in another paper, the most possible antibacterial mechanism of metal ions was suggested as interaction with thiol groups in proteins and inactivation of the enzyme activity. 20 Unfortunately, this antibacterial mechanism might not explain singly for Zn-Ce/MMT.…”

“…As an alternative, metal or metal oxide nanoparticles can be coated on nanoparticles to introduce metallic ions, while at the same time the high dispersion of the nanoparticles is maintained. 19,20 In addition to metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, quantum dots (QDs) can also be used to introduce metallic ions into other nanoparticles. QDs are nanocrystals in the size range of 2-10 nm, being promising in energy applications due to their unique photoelectric properties.…”
