Synthesis, characterization, photocatalytic, and antimicrobial activity of ZrO2 nanoparticles and Ag@ZrO2 nanocomposite prepared by the advanced oxidative process/hydrothermal route

ZrO2 nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) and Ag@ZrO2 nanocomposite (Ag@ZrO2 NCs) were prepared from zirconium (IV) butoxide in the absence of base or acid mineraliser by the advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and subsequent hydrothermal treatment. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmis...

Ag@ZrO2 NCs were capable of efficiently growth inhibition of bacteria cultures in more than 75% E. Coli compared to ZrO2 NPs that exhibited <10% instead. However, at the same concentration (for example 0.25 mg/mL) we found that both ZrO2 NPs and Ag@ZrO2 NCs were significantly more effective against S. aureus in comparison with E. coli showing bacterial growth inhibition higher than 90% for S. aureus. Morphological observation of bacterial cells by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that nanoparticles and nanocomposite caused irreversible damage to the cell membrane.
