Graphene Oxide Supported Ruthenium, Silver and Ruthenium-Silver Nanoparticles as Catalyst with Antibacterial Activity

In this study, two different types of graphene oxide supported nanoparticles e.g., ruthenium, silver and a bimetallic Ru-Ag nanoparticles were synthesized. The size and shape of the products were characterized by various techniques viz., scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) field emission scanning electron microscopy with edax (FESEM-EDAX) X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) Raman analyses followed by kinetic study. The results proved that the newly developed graphene oxide carried ruthenium-silver nanoparticles catalysts can be more efficient to reductive, oxidative and of environmentally important organic pollutant. It also has good biological activity.
