Abstract
This study focuses on the synthesis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets through a straightforward hydrothermal process, followed by their decoration with silver (Ag) nanoparticles using ammonia (NH3) and glucose (C6H12O6). The resulting nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using various analytical techniques, including XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TEM, HR-TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, element mapping, XPS, AFM, and BET analysis. The antimicrobial efficacy of the Ag&MoS2 nanocomposite (0D/2D) was evaluated using MIC, MBC, and disk diffusion susceptibility assays in comparison to the antibiotic ampicillin. Notably, the Ag&MoS2 combination demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Specifically, Escherichia coli exhibited the highest efficacy with a 73.02% reduction, while Streptococcus mutans showed the lowest efficacy at 0.05%, primarily due to the physical damage generated by the nanocomposite.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
