Abstract
Abstract This study describes the synthesis of nano hybrids compounds as silver nanoparticles AgNPs inter Ni-Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nano hybrid by ion exchange method. Ag as Ag NPs by reduce agent in starch solutions. The produced AgNPs are integrated on LDH surface. The material was characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infare spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and UV-Visible spectrophotomer. The expanded interlayer spacing of the Ag NPs/Ni-Al-LDH nano hybrid suggests the successful encapsulation of Ag NPs with Ni-Al-LDH. The prepared Ag NPs/Ni-Al-LDH nano hybrid compound could be suitable to use in future antimicrobial and anti bacterial applications, the make use of, more than 99% of all types of bacteria can be killed, also the AgNPs-LDH can also efficiently inhibit the bacterial growth and prevent the bio film formation in the nutrient solutions. These recently Ag NPs-LDH may offer a talented antimicrobial solution for clinical and environmental applications.
