Investigation of Antibacterial Property and Photocatalytic Activity of Recyclable Ag/ZnOw Composites

Abstract:

Silver-deposited zinc oxide whisker (Ag/ZnOw) composites with different Ag/Zn molar ratios (MRs) were successfully synthesized by a simple method. Subsequently, the structure and properties of these composites were characterized using various tests. It is found that the silver nanoparticles are located on the root of ZnOw, which is beneficial for the antibacterial and photocatalytic performance of ZnOw. The Ag/ZnOw composite exhibits better antibacterial and photocatalytic activities than that of the pure ZnOw, and the efficiency of both properties increase with increasing molar ratio of Ag/Zn. Moreover, the mechanism which governs the photocatalytic property of the composite has also been discussed thoroughly.
