Abstract
Abstract The synthesis of trioxides offers unique properties for different applications due to the combination of multiple oxides; however, few studies have reported on the properties of these materials, especially in terms of their ability to create reactive oxygen species, which are helpful for antibacterial and antifungal activity. This study aimed to evaluate the surface properties of CuO-MgO-ZnO and CuO-Co 3 O 4 -CeO 2 trioxides synthesized via precipitation assisted by an ultrasonic bath or sonication. The structural analysis indicated the formation of micrometric particles consisting of individual phases of each oxide, with no apparent influence of the preparation method on their morphology. UV–Vis spectroscopy revealed that CuO-MgO-ZnO particles have a band gap near 5.5 eV, while CuO-Co 3 O 4 -CeO 2 has a single value at 4.2 eV. Zeta potential measurements indicated changes in the materials' outermost layer composition due to the synthesis method. Additionally, biological assays showed that the materials could completely inhibit the growth of Candida species and Staphylococcus aureus but not Klebsiella pneumoniae . These results suggest that the materials may be suitable for self-cleaning surfaces and medical device coatings.
期刊介绍：
Discover Materials is part of the Discover journal series committed to providing a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage. It is a broad, open access journal publishing research from across all fields of materials research.
Discover Materials covers all areas where materials are activators for innovation and disruption, providing cutting-edge research findings to researchers, academicians, students, and engineers. It considers the whole value chain, ranging from fundamental and applied research to the synthesis, characterisation, modelling and application of materials.
Moreover, we especially welcome papers connected to so-called ‘green materials’, which offer unique properties including natural abundance, low toxicity, economically affordable and versatility in terms of physical and chemical properties. They are the activators of an eco-sustainable economy serving all innovation sectors. Indeed, they can be applied in numerous scientific and technological applications including energy, electronics, building, construction and infrastructure, materials science and engineering applications and pollution management and technology. For instance, biomass-based materials can be developed as a source for biodiesel and bioethanol production, and transformed into advanced functionalized materials for applications such as the transformation of chitin into chitosan which can be further used for biomedicine, biomaterials and tissue engineering applications. Green materials for electronics are also a key vector concerning the integration of novel devices on conformable, flexible substrates with free-of-form surfaces for innovative product development. We also welcome new developments grounded on Artificial Intelligence to model, design and simulate materials and to gain new insights into materials by discovering new patterns and relations in the data.
