Therefore, new alternative antimicrobials need to be developed to control foodborne pathogens and avoid microbial resistance. Furthermore, the potential of trans-Himalayan high-altitude seabuckthorn (<i>Hippophae rhamnoides </i>) plants has not been explored much for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles having antibacterial properties. Hence, this study investigated the development of long-term stable silver nanomaterials using the aqueous extract of seabuckthorn leaves through a green-synthesis approach and evaluated their antibacterial efficacy. These synthesized nanomaterials were characterized along with their stability using UV spectrometry for lambda max (<span><math altimg=\"eq-00001.gif\" display=\"inline\" overflow=\"scroll\"><mi>λ</mi><mo>max</mo></math></span><span></span>) characteristics.

Synthesis of CNTs was carried out in distilled water between two electrodes using the electric arc discharge (EAD) method. EAD is a simple and straightforward route in which an electric arc is generated between graphite electrodes through DC power source to produce soot which contains MWCNTs along with impurities. The deposited soot containing MWCNTs was then chipped off and purified. In this case, multistep purification scheme was opted to remove unwanted impurities from produced MWCNTs. Purification route comprised thermal treatment, chemical treatment and a combination of both to yield pure MWCNTs. Thermal treatments were carried out in normal air and under controlled flow of oxygen at different temperatures whereas chemical treatment was performed using acidic solution. Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were carried out before and after purification treatments to investigate the outcome of employed treatments. Results showed that the thermal or chemical treatment alone is not sufficient to remove impurities from soot. Moreover, the introduction of an oxide group through chemical treatment reduces the oxidization temperature of graphitic particles. It was found that the chemical treatment followed by thermal annealing under the controlled flow of oxygen is the most appropriate method for successful purification of MWCNTs synthesized via EAD method.</p>","PeriodicalId":18978,"journal":{"name":"Nano","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140204183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
