The Effect of Ag-Doping on the Cytotoxicity of ZnO Nanostructures Grown on Ag/Si Substrates by APMOCVD

The search and development of new nanostructures nanomaterials are very important for the progress nanotechnology modern microbiology. Due to unique properties silver zinc oxide, these nanoparticles optimal basis creating with potential antiviral activity. An issue in studies is establishment cytotoxicity their composites. Aim. To define influence substrate temperature Ag concentration ZnO lattice on microstructure oxide nanostructures. Methods. Pure Ag-doped were grown Ag/Si substrates by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method using a mixture acetylacetonate powders as precursor. Argentum thin films deposited Si thermal evaporation method. MTT-assay was used analysis MDBK MDCK cell viability definition nanostructure cytotoxicity. Results. characterized X-ray diff raction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy. It found that pure do not inhibit both epithelial cultures whereas because all-time exposure sample without dilution. cytotoxic effect observed at higher dilutions Conclusions. investigation Ag-doping morphology implementing into current optoelectronics photocatalysis.
