Abstract
We study the photocatalytic activity of nanocomposites based on θ-phase alumina (Al2O3) with different TiO2 concentrations for heterogeneous photocatalysis and biodestruction of pathogenic microorganisms under action of LED radiation with a wavelength of 405 nm. It is found that all studied nanocomposites have photocatalytic activity. The maximum antibacterial activity (a decrease in the CFU of Staphylococcus aureus 209 P to 86%) is observed for composites with a TiO2 concentration of 8 wt %, which allows us to recommend this nanomaterial as a promising antimicrobial coating.
期刊介绍:
Optics and Spectroscopy (Optika i spektroskopiya), founded in 1956, presents original and review papers in various fields of modern optics and spectroscopy in the entire wavelength range from radio waves to X-rays. Topics covered include problems of theoretical and experimental spectroscopy of atoms, molecules, and condensed state, lasers and the interaction of laser radiation with matter, physical and geometrical optics, holography, and physical principles of optical instrument making.
