Silver nanoparticles on UiO-66 (Zr) metal-organic frameworks for water disinfection application

Drinking water disinfection is an essential process to assure public health all over the world. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on UiO-66 (Zr) Metal-Organic Frameworks (Ag@UiO-66) is proposed as a potential water disinfection strategy. AgNPs are synthesized using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (P...

description Drinking water disinfection is an essential process to assure public health all over the world. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on UiO-66 (Zr) Metal-Organic Frameworks (Ag@UiO-66) is proposed as a potential water disinfection strategy. AgNPs are synthesized using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as stabilizing agent, and sodium borohydride as reducing agent are subsequently embedded on UiO-66, a high-stability organometallic framework. The effect of premixing time, reaction time and reactant concentration on the loading rate of AgNPs on UiO-66 was investigated. The maximum load rate of AgNPs on UiO-66 could reach 13% when the premixing time is 3 h, the reaction time is 45 min and the concentration of AgNO3 is 10 μg/mL. The formation of AgNPs loaded on UiO-66 was observed and confirmed with ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared emission spectroscopy (IES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Ag@UiO-66 exhibited strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 64 and 128 μg/mL, respectively. The germicidal efficacy of Ag@UiO-66 enhanced significantly as the temperature rose from 4 °C to 37 °C. The results indicate that Ag@UiO-66 is potential candidate as a feasible water disinfection material.
