Synthesis of Zinc Substituted Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticles by Using Sol-Gel Method as Antibacterial Material

Abstract:

The synthesis of zinc-substituted cobalt ferrite (Co_0.9Zn_0.1Fe₂O₄) using the sol gel method has been successfully carried out. The thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analyzer curve shows that at 400°C the Co_0.9Zn_0,1Fe₂O₄ sample has formed the final phase of nanoparticles. Therefore, the modification of physical properties was carried out by annealing treatment at temperature of 450°C, 550°C, 650°C, and 750°C. The X-rays diffraction show that all samples are in a single phase with a face center cubic space group Fd-3m structure according to the ICDD 221086. The crystal size increased with the annealing temperature 33.69 nm to 45.88 nm. The Co_0.9Zn_0.1Fe₂O₄ showed as excellent antibacterial properties on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The most superior antibacterial activity to Staphylococcus aureus was Co_0.9Zn_0,1Fe₂O₄ sample which was annealed at 650°C with a clear zone diameter of 39.81 mm. Meanwhile, the Escherichia coli bacteria which had the most superior antibacterial activity were Co_0.9Zn_0,1Fe₂O₄ samples which were annealed at 450°C with a clear zone measuring 21.04 mm.
