“…AgNPs are generally obtained from colloidal dispersions, and depending on the method used during synthesis could display a variety of morphologies, including nanocubes, nanoprisms, nanospheres, triangular nanoplates and rod‐like shapes (Huang, Zhai, Dong, & Wang, ; Sarkar, Kapoor, & Mukherjee, ). A study comparing the antibacterial activity of spherical and triangular Ag nanoprisms against Escherichia coli showed that they exerted greater bacterial toxicity due to their sharp edges with triangular shape (Acharya et al, ). Similarly, truncated triangular AgNPs display stronger biocidal action than that observed by spherical and rod‐shaped NPs (Pal, Tak, & Song, ).…”
