Synthesis and Characterization of Ag2O and MnO doped Ag2O nanocomposites for Antibacterial activity against E.Coli.

Abstract

Synthesizing the doped material for industrial or clinical surfaces to avoid microbes, particularly antibiotic-resistant strains, which has emerged in growing the interest in development of effective antibacterial agents. In this work, it is elucidated the antibacterial activity of MnO-doped Ag₂O nanoparticles. Synthesis was followed by the coprecipitation method is adopted to synthesize the nanoparticle and the characterization is done to analyse the crystallinity, size, morphology and elemental composition by different methods. The solution is made for Ag2O and MnO-doped Ag₂O nanoparticles of two different concentration-to-volume ratios of 5% and 10%, and the antimicrobial activities is studied for E. Coli bacteria. MnO doped Ag₂O nanoparticles exhibits a better antibacterial activity.
