Synthesis and Characterization of Li+, Ag2+and Cu2+ metals doped MgO nanostructured in Gel Method

Abstract

The MgO nano particles doped with alkali, Nobel and transition metals (Li+, Ag2+, Cu2+) were synthesized by gel method. The structures, morphologies and size of synthesized samples were characterized and confirmed by Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM). The antibacterial activity for pure and doped MgO nano particles were studied against S.auerus. Among the results, the Li+ and Cu2+ doped MgO nano particles are best inhibition against the bacterial strains due to the presence of active oxygen species.
