Silver and copper nanoparticles by the pulsed plasma in liquid and their
antibacterial properties

O
ne of the most important properties of silver
nanoparticles is their antimicrobial action against
several bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Surprisingly, nano Ag
are safe and non-toxic to human and animal cells at low
concentrations because the possible toxicity of silver
nanoparticles to the environment is considered extremely
low as compared to other materials.
Silver and coppr nanoparticles were prepared by using
pulsed plasma in liquid method. This is a low voltage
pulsed spark discharge in a dielectric liquid. The electrodes
of about 2 mm in diameter and about 10 mm in length
made of pure silver rods were submerged in a 50 ml pyrex
beaker filled with deionized water and plasma (200 V, 50 A
(peak), 10 μs) was generated between the silver electrodes
for about 15 min. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Cetyl
trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), Sodium n-Dodecyl
Sulphate (SDS) were used as a stabilizing agents.
The XRD spectra of the prepared samples indicated the
face-centered cubic crystalline structure of metallic silver
nanoparticles. Spherically shaped silver nanoparticles of
diameter 2.2 ± 0.8 nm were synthesized by the pulsed
plasma in aqueous solution with PVP surfactant. Similarly,
silver nanoparticles of diameter 1.9 ± 0.4 nm size were
obtained with SDS surfactant.
In vitro
antibacterial
properties of all the synthesized silver nanoparticles
against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli were
examined by Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility
method. It was noticed that the stabilized with SDS
silver nanoparticles demonstrated a better antibacterial
activity against bacterial strains as compared to the silver
nanoparticles stabilized with PVP, CTAB.
