Abstract

In the present study, we obtained antibacterial Fe-Cu and Fe-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles by electrical explosion of two twisted wires. This method allows obtaining nanoparticles of a given composition and morphology. As-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro electrophoresis techniques and magnet technique. In result we observed the formation of nanoparticles with Janus-like structure with distinct separation of components inside the particle. These nanoparticles have a strong antibacterial activity against two bacteria strains. The high antimicrobial activity of the nanoparticles is due to the prolonged ion release in media. Taking into account the possibility of easy magnetic separation of the novel bimetallic demonstrate the potential for their use as promising new generation antibacterial agents for advanced antimicrobial water treatment technologies.
