Synthesis of Adenosine 5-monophosphate monohydrate functionalized mesoporous Ag/CuO/MCM-41 nanostructures for enormous mineralization of insistent organic contaminants and photoinhibition of bacteria

Abstract

An important potential threat for both individuals, as well as the environment, is organic pollution and microbes in water from waste. Numerous industries, such as paper, food processing, cosmetics, plastics, textile, and others, need a lot of colors. Dyes discharged into water bodies have caused several problems for human beings because dyes are not biodegradable. The apparent and unattractive extremely small dye concentration (1 mg/L) also significantly influences a water body. In a manner analogous to this, healthcare-related infections in hospitals have a significant cost impact on healthcare systems. Drug-resistant or multi-drug-resistant microorganisms are the main causes of nosocomial infections. The creation of novel antibacterial materials has proven to be one of the largest challenges in the development of a new technique for preventing the spread of ailments associated with healthcare. To get around these obstacles, it is therefore desirable to come up with new techniques and materials. A unique hydrothermally produced mesoporous CuO/MCM-41 nanostructure was created in this context. Additionally, Ag was deposited to create the CuO/MCM-41 nanostructure, and Adenosine 5-monophosphate monohydrate (A-5-MM) was used to functionalize it. Additionally, incredible photocatalytic activity was achieved under visible light irradiation by rapidly degrading eriochrome black (EB) and bromothymol blue (BTB) dyes. More than 80% of the said dyes were degraded in 60 min. The said result was much lower in dark condition. Furthermore, it was discovered that the A-5-MM-Ag/CuO/MCM-41 nanomaterials exhibited notable antibacterial activity in light against Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), with respective zones of inhibition of 17 ± 0.2 mm, and 21 ± 0.3 mm.
