“…Table S2 in ESI† displays the results. As we previously showed, 37 Mg(OH) 2 nanoparticles have poorly bactericidal performances in the evaluation conditions we used. Its presence as secondary phase in the Cu 0.85 Mg 0.15 (OH) 2 and Cu 0.80 Mg 0.20 (OH) 2 samples only further increases the slowing down of the bactericidal kinetics of the mixed hydroxides.…”

“…1). In our previous study, 37 TG-MS evolved gas analyses showed that nanoplatelets of Mg(OH) 2 starts decomposing above 300 °C by releasing water molecules (peak at 350 °C in the m / z = 18 spectrum). The step in the tail of the TG curve of the Cu 0.8 Mg 0.2 (OH) 2 sample is therefore ascribed to the thermal decomposition of this secondary phase Mg(OH) 2 .…”

“…This assumption is consistent with the difference between the reductions in viability of E. coli (100% or >6 log 10 reduction) and S. aureus (99% or 2 log 10 reduction) we observed after 180 min in contact with the platelet-like “Mg 0.85 Cu 0.15 (OH) 2 ” nanoparticles at pH ≈ 10.4. 37…”

“…This assumption is consistent with the difference between the reductions in viability of E. coli (100% or 46 log 10 reduction) and S. aureus (99% or 2 log 10 reduction) we observed after 180 min in contact with the platelet-like ''Mg 0.85 Cu 0.15 (OH) 2 '' nanoparticles at pH E 10.4. 37 Only E0.06 and E0.4 wt% of the Cu(OH) 2 nanorods dissolve in water after 180 min and 1440 min, respectively (Table 2). As we expected, the incorporation of 10 mol% Mg 2+ in the cationic sub-lattice of Cu(OH) 2 enhances the dissolution of nanorods in water by 5.5-fold increase the concentration in cupric ions released after 180 min.…”
