Abstract
This investigation focused on the production of nano-AgO particles using the traditional
chemical reduction method. The nano-AgO particles forged in the lab show a fierce
ability to take down bacteria and their increased reactivity is born from a mighty
surface-to-volume ratio. The crafted nano-AgO particles underwent rigorous inspection
using a range of methods including Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray
Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD).
The results showed that the nano-AgO particles were made up of clusters of smaller
bits, mostly measuring between 100 and 200 nm in size. The trials demonstrated that
the nano-AgO particles were highly effective at eliminating bacteria including P.
aeruginosa and S. pyogenes, resulting in a 17 mm stretch free from any growth.
