Characterization and antibacterial properties of aminophenol grafted and Ag NPs decorated graphene nanocomposites

Advancement of Ag–Graphene Based Nanocomposites: An Overview of Synthesis and Its Applications

“…The assembly of other compounds or nanoparticles, which have the bactericidal effect or special functions such as detection and separation, into Ag–graphene nanocomposites have been regarded as an efficient approach to enhance their antibacterial activity . According to the combined biological inhibitory activities of GO, aminophenol, and AgNPs, Pant et al developed an aminophenol grafted and AgNPs decorated reduced graphene sheet (Ag–RGS) as a promising antibacterial agent against E. coli and S. aureus . Chitosan is a biocompatible polymer, which can not only exhibit a strong bactericidal and homeostatic effect, but also act as coating agent to increase the stability of nanoparticles .…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Monometallic (Ag, Cu) and Bimetallic Ag-Cu Particles for Antibacterial and Antifungal Applications

“…Monodisperse colloidal solution of silver nanoparticles is generally synthesized by chemical reduction [8][9][10], electrochemical [11][12][13], photochemical [14][15][16], and sonochemical methods [17][18][19], and also using a pulsed laser [20][21][22]. As an alternative, researchers examined copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs), which are less expensive and present similar properties [23][24][25][26]. However, the preparation of the Cu NPs is problematic due to their easy oxidation.…”

One-pot synthesis of CdS sensitized TiO2 decorated reduced graphene oxide nanosheets for the hydrolysis of ammonia-borane and the effective removal of organic pollutant from water

“…The interaction between the GO and CdS-TiO 2 and the reduction of GO to RGO was further studied by FTIR. [19]. For the CdS-TiO 2 /RGO sample, a decrease in the intensity of the peaks that corresponds to the oxygen functional groups was observed, this could be attributed to the reduction GO into the RGO via hydrothermal treatment.…”
