Abstract

The biosynthesis of silver chloride nanoparticles (AgCl NPs) is presented in this paper. Silver chloride nanoparticles were synthesized using fungi culture from Rhodotorula Mucilaginosa and aqueous AgNO3 solution, as precursor. The plasmon resonance of the nanoparticles containing solution has shown through UV-visible spectrophotometry an absorbance peak at about 437 nm. Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, and X-ray Diffraction analyses confirmed the presence of spherical silver chloride nanoparticles with a face centered cubic crystal structure and an average particle size of 25 nm. Silver chloride nanoparticles have been shown to be able to inhibit the growth of different microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, which would make them suitable for antimicrobial applications. Introduction The development of materials and structures at nanoscale dimensions has gained a huge interest in the nanomaterials and nano-technology research fields.

利用粘液红酵母绿色合成氯化银纳米颗粒
紫外可见光谱测量范围为200 ~ 600 nm,波长步长为1.5 nm。利用JSM 7400f扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能谱仪(EDS)对样品的形态特征和化学成分进行分析。将氯化银纳米颗粒胶体滴在铜网格上,并涂上一层铂薄膜。在此之后,样品被安装在双面粘碳带上。加速电压固定为10kV。采用飞利浦PW 1050/70 x射线粉末衍射仪,采用CuKα1 (λ =1,54Å)石墨单色仪,在40 kV电压,28 mA电流下,扫描范围10÷80°,在Bragg-Brentano几何结构下,对氯化银纳米颗粒的晶体性质进行了XRD分析。结果与讨论在35℃恒温箱中孵育48 h后,含有黏胶红霉菌生物量的胶体的最终颜色由淡黄色变为浅棕色。颜色的变化是纳米颗粒形成的指示。在图1中,根据前驱体浓度的不同,可以观察到明显的颜色差异。上清液和对照样品保持不变。此外,考虑光学指示(改变颜色),测量了含有纳米颗粒的胶体溶液的紫外可见吸收光谱(如图2所示)。粉末冶金与先进材料- RoPM&AM 2017材料研究论坛LLC材料研究进展8 (2018)28-34 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21741/9781945291999-4 30图1。胶体纳米粒子的图像合成的存在粘液红霉菌。200 300 400 500 600 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 Ab so b和ce (a .u .)
