Three-dimensional nanoporous Cu-BTC/graphene oxide nanocomposites with engineered antibacterial properties synthesized via a one-pot solvosonication process

Cu-based nanostructures are a well-known class of antibacterial nanomaterials with broad properties. In this study, facile and one-pot solvosonication process is introduced to synthesize Cu-BTC/graphene oxide nanocomposites controlled morphological structural The size range synthesized Cu-BTC nanoparticles through the synthesis by adjusting content graphene nanosheets in precursor solution. A wide sizes morphologies achieved via strategy from 30-40 nm 15–20 obtained increasing solution 0.005 0.15 mg/ml. We believe an increase number available sites on basal plane for nucleation nanocrystals main reason smaller higher concentrations Moreover, activities also directly affected structure morphology nanosheets. nanocomposite smallest presents highest activity. Consequently, results presented here suggest that activity can be engineered controlling properties process. • Cu-BTC/GO simple Structural GO. Antibacterial relates
