Abstract

In the present work, a hybrid Ag@CeO 2 nanostructure composite was synthesized via a facile oxidation redox coating approach. The characterization by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are firmly attached to the surface of the CeO 2 nanoparticles, driven by the strong interfacial interaction between Ag NPs and CeO 2 . The antibacterial effects of the Ag@CeO 2 hybrid nanocomposite against prokaryotic bacteria were tested using disk diffusion and turbidity method. The plausible mechanism was proposed for the inhibition of bacterial growth.
