Efficient antimicrobial properties of layered double hydroxide assembled with transition metals via a facile preparation method

摘要

Mg2+in MgAl-layered double hydroxides nanoparticles was substituted with different divalent transition metal ions(MAl-LDHs,M:Mg2+,Cu2+,Ni2+,Co2+,and Mn2+)via a facile method to be used as antibacterial agents.The phase structural and morphological characterizations of MAl-LDHs were investigated by XRD,FTIR spectroscopy and TEM.The results have shown that all of MAl-LDHs had typical layered structures except MnAl-LDH which contained Mn304 phases.Particular morphology of MnAl-LDH with ellipsoids,spherical and rod-like structure and CuAl-LDH with rod-like shape existed.IC50(the concentrations providing 50%antibacterial activity)values of CuAl-LDH,NiAl-LDH,CoAl-LDH,and MnAlLDH in broth dilution tests were^800-1500μg/mL.Dosages of CuAl-LDH,CoAl-LDH,and MnAl-LDH with>10 mm inhibition zone in disk diffusion tests were^150-300μg/disk.Antibacterial mechanism of MAl-LDHs may be attributed to the synergistic factors including effected surroundings,surface interactions,morphology of particles,ROS and metal ions.The results indicate a facile method to synthesis LDHs based effective antibacterial agents with the potential application in the area of water treatment and antibacterial coating.
