Solvothermal DMSO-mediated synthesis of the S/AgI micro-/nano-structures and its application as photocatalytic and biological agents

S/AgI microstructures were produced by solvothermal DMSO-mediated synthesis using two methods of sulfur precipitation: at room temperature (method 1) and water 2). The samples obtained with different percentages AgI: 10, 30 50 %. Microstructures investigated help XRD, Raman spectroscopy SEM/EDS (elemental mapping). XRD confirmed the presence AgI. EDS elemental mapping revealed that composed large grains covered smaller SEM micrographs 1st method gave larger in comparison 2nd method. Testing as photocatalysits showed low activity; prepared able to degrade no more than 7 % molecules Orange II. Significant biological activity was detected only for (2) sample, it suppress test strains S. aureus ATCC ВАА-39, P.aeruginosa 9027 Erwinia amylovora MBC/MFC 5000 µg/mL, E. coli 8739 2500 µg/mL.
