Abstract

Bimetallic nanoparticles exhibit bifunctional or synergistic effects prevailing between two metals with the capabilities of enhanced electronic, catalytic, and optical properties. Green synthetic routes have gained tremendous interest because of the noninvolvement of toxic and harmful chemical reagents in preparation. Therefore, we develop bimetallic Ag-Cu nanoparticles (Ag-Cu NPs) through an eco-friendly and biocompatible preparation method. In this study, Ag-Cu NPs have been synthesized from leaf extracts of the commonly known sage, S. officinalis. The extract has a rich phytochemical composition, including bioreducing polyphenols, flavonoids, and capping/stabilizing agents. An array of well-known spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were used to characterize the as-prepared Ag-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The size of the Ag-Cu NPs was found to be 50 nm with a spherical shape and an almost uniform distribution. The antibacterial effect was further evaluated using agar well diffusion and disc diffusion assays. Ag-Cu NPs exhibit antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria strains. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Ag-Cu NPs was between 5 g/mL and 15 g/mL. The Ag-Cu NPs inhibit biofilm formation at 25 g/mL and 50 g/mL. The results of biogenic Ag-Cu NPs provide novel antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as antibiofilm activity. Hence, Ag-Cu NPs might serve as a novel antibacterial agent with potential antibacterial and antibiofilm properties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
