Antibacterial Activity of TiO2/AgY Composite Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

A composite, TiO2/AgY, was prepared by impregnation of tetrabutyl titanate solution on NaY zeolite, subsequent calcination at 500°C and ion-exchange with AgNO3 solution. XRD.SEM, TEM and EDAX were used to characterize the crystalline phase, the particle size of the formed nano-materials and the relative contents of atoms in TiO2/AgY and NaY zeolite, respectively. TiO2 nanoparticles with the size of 5-8 nm were found to form on the external surface of the zeolite. About half of Na+ in NaY zeolite is exchanged into Ag+. The as-prepared material exhibits excellent antibacterial activity and decompose E. coli using ultraviolet radiation as light resource.
