Antimicrobial effects of silver deposited on nanolayered manganese oxide

Abstract

Silver deposited on layered manganese oxide was synthesized by a simple method, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray mapping. In the next step, antimicrobial effects of the compound for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were considered.
