Abstract
Due to the variety of their forms and properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are promising for obtaining nanomaterials with various functional applications. Today, regardless of the method of obtaining AgNPs, there is a problem of stabilizing their surface to prevent aggregation, which significantly reduces their activity and prevents uniform distribution during the preparation of nanomaterials. The aim of this work was the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using an oligomeric ionic liquid (OIL) and the study of their structure and antimicrobial properties. In this work, for the first time, an anionic OIL with a hyperbranched structure developed by us was used as a surface stabilizer in the synthesis of AgNPs. The synthesis of AgNPs was carried out by the reduction of Ag ions in the composition of AgNO3 with trisodium citrate in the presence of this OIL. Using the methods ofUV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray analysis, electron microscopy and the disc-diffusion method, the peculiarities of the structural organization of AgNPs and their antimicrobial properties were studied. UV-visible spectroscopy data indicate the formation of silver nanoparticles and their spherical or quasi-spherical shape. It was found that there are adsorbed ionic and carbonyl groups on the surface of the formed AgNPs, and the formation of host-guest complexes between OIL and silver ions was revealed using FTIR. The formation of AgNPs and complexes between OIL and silver ions is also confirmed by X-ray diffraction. According to electron microscopy, the size of the synthesized nanoparticles varies from 5 to 16 nm, with an average value of 10.2 nm. This average value is very close to the value of 9.3 nm obtained from the results of X-ray analysis. The synthesized silver nanoparticles showed a very high antimicrobial activity against C. albicans fungi, while the width of the inhibition zone (d) was 34 mm. Also, the AgNPs powder shows very high activity against gram-positive bacteria S. aureus (d = 30 mm) and gram-negative bacteria E. coli (d = 12 mm). The approach developed by us to the synthesis of AgNPs in the presence of OIL as a surface stabilizer with certain functionalization of the latter opens up new opportunities in the synthesis of AgNPs and the preparation of highly dispersed related systems, including functionalized nanocomposite polymer materials with antimicrobial properties.
