Well-designed β-Ag2MoO4 crystals with photocatalytic and antibacterial activity

Unvealing the role of β-Ag2MoO4 microcrystals to the improvement of antibacterial activity

“…Considering that Ag 2 MoO 4 acquires different morphologies according to the synthetic method employed [28,30], in this study, the morphologies of the β-Ag When the microcrystals were synthesized with ethanol, the MIC/MBC value (31.25 g/mL) for MRSA was lower than that observed for the microcrystals synthesized with ammonia (62.50 g/mL). Additionally, the bactericidal activity of both -Ag 2 MoO 4 microcrystals was higher than that exhibited by the samples synthesized in water, which required higher concentration (250 g/mL) to inhibit the MRSA growth.…”

“…Additionally, the bactericidal activity of both -Ag 2 MoO 4 microcrystals was higher than that exhibited by the samples synthesized in water, which required higher concentration (250 g/mL) to inhibit the MRSA growth. activity against the same E. coli strain [30]. In this study, in addition to observing better anti-E. coli activity for the sample synthesized in ethanol, we also tested, for the first time, the efficiency against MRSA, which is a highly pathogenic bacterium.…”

“…Particularly, silver molybdates have been investigated in the fields of lubrication [14,15], humidity and gas sensors [16,17], surface enhanced Raman scattering techniques [18,19], photocatalysis [11][12][13]20,21], and photoluminescence [20,22,23]. A plethora of synthetic methods have been used to harness these applications, such as hydrothermal [19,[24][25][26][27], solution-based chemical reaction [18], co-precipitation [23,28], dynamic template route [21], laser annealing [29], and microwave-assisted hydrothermal methods [20,30]. In this context, Ng and Fan [31] have recently reported the preparation of β-Ag 2 MoO 4 crystals with high-index facets via the delicate tuning of the supersaturation conditions during crystal growth.…”

Sonochemical synthesis of inorganic cryogel Ag2Mo3O10@Ag/AgO: structural characterization, antibacterial activity, and dye adsorption properties

“…Another property of metal oxides is their antibacterial activity, which can make them a good candidate for water purification. 29 A recent study has revealed the relationship between β-Ag 2 MoO 4 crystals with different morphologies and unveiled the correlation between antibacterial activity, morphology, and surface energy. According to theoretical Wulff construction, morphologies with a larger (001) surface display better antibacterial properties which prove the effect of morphology on the antibacterial properties of metal oxide nanoparticles and help us in nanoparticles synthesis with high antibacterial properties through morphological formulation.…”
