“…The action of ZnO can be regarded as complementary to that of various silver formulations. Moreover, synergetic effects of both components used in hybrid metal-semiconductor nanoparticles result in enhanced antibacterial performance against bacteria (Ghosh et al 2012;Lu et al 2008;Motshekga et al 2013).…”

The synthesis of hybrid silver/zinc oxide (Ag/ZnO) decoration on the cellulose surface is described. The structures were characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and corroborated with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Silver nitrate and zinc acetate dihydrate were used as soluble raw materials. Hexamethylenetetraamine was used as the precipitating and reducing agent. The surface of a-cellulose was always treated by hydrogen peroxide before synthesis with a relatively mild effect manifested in water contact angle measurement and XPS high-resolution spectra. The Ag/ZnO decoration system was identified as a true nanodispersed metal/semiconductor hybrid with a unique collective plasmonic structure observed on Ag 3d core lines for the first time. A series of experiments with a single precursor solution contributed to the characterization of the interaction of Ag ? and Zn 2? species with the surface and to the description of the reaction mechanism in the mixed precursor solution. In contrast to previous reports, a specific interaction between the cellulose substrate and Zn 2? was observed. No specific non-thermal effects of microwave heating were observed.

Heteronanostructured zinc oxide nanorod (ZnO NR) array are vertically grown on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) through a hydrothermal method followed by an in situ deposition of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) through a photoreduction process. The Ag-ZnO heterostructured nanorods on PDMS are measured with an average diameter of 160 nm and an average length of 2 μm. ZnO NRs measured by high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) shows highly crystalline with a lattice fringe of 0.255 nm, which corresponds to the (0002) planes in ZnO crystal lattice. The average diameter of the Ag NPs in situ deposited on the ZnO NRs is estimated at 22 ± 2 nm.As compared to the bare ZnO NRs, the heterostructured Ag-ZnO nanorod array shows enhanced ultraviolet (UV) absorption at 440 nm, and significant emission in the visible region (λem = 542 nm). In addition, the antimicrobial efficiency of Ag-ZnO heterostructured nanorod array shows obvious improvement as compared to bare ZnO nanorod array. The cytotoxicity of ZnO nanorod array with and without Ag NPs was studied by using 3 T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. No significant toxic effect is imposed on the cells.
