Photocatalytic Activity of Green Synthesized AgCl Nanoparticles Towards E. coli Bacteria
The present work focus on plant extracts mediated synthesis of silver chloride nanoparticles (AgCl-NPs). The AgCl-NPs were synthesized using the plant leaf extract of Origanum-majorana by one step green synthesis method. The characterization of as prepared AgCl-NPs were done
by various analytical techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology and composition of AgCl-NPs was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis,
respectively. Further, photocatalytic activity of as prepared AgCl-NPs observed by elimination of E. coli bacteria from contaminated water under solar light irradiation and it was observed that AgCl-NPs possess a good photocatalytic activity performance against E. coli bacteria.
