Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Silica (SiO2) particles are widely used to stabilize colloidal metal systems like gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
  • This stabilization prevents aggregation and preserves the activity of AuNPs, crucial for applications.
  • Green synthesis of AuNPs using plant extracts offers an eco-friendly alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate silica-coated green gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using two distinct sol-gel methods.
  • To characterize the synthesized nanoparticles and evaluate their antibacterial activity.
  • To investigate the influence of synthesis conditions on nanoparticle morphology and properties.

Main Methods:

  • Green synthesis of AuNPs using mullein extract.
  • Fabrication of silica-coated AuNPs via two different sol-gel methods.
  • Characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR), and Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).
  • Antibacterial activity testing against *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Listeria monocytogenes*, *Escherichia coli*, and *Salmonella enterica*.

Main Results:

  • Two distinct nanoparticle morphologies were observed: kidney-shaped and uniform (Synthesis-1) versus spherical and non-uniform (Synthesis-2).
  • Synthesis temperature significantly impacted AuNP distribution within the silica matrix, influencing Janus-type formation and gold concentration.
  • FTIR spectra were similar for both syntheses, while XRD revealed synthesis-dependent preferential growth of AuNPs.
  • Both silica-coated AuNP formulations demonstrated significant antibacterial activity, particularly against *S. aureus* and *L. monocytogenes*.
  • No significant difference in antibacterial efficacy was found between the two sol-gel methods.

Conclusions:

  • Sol-gel methods are effective for producing silica-coated green gold nanoparticles with varying morphologies.
  • Temperature control is critical for tailoring nanoparticle structure and gold distribution.
  • The synthesized silica-coated AuNPs exhibit potent antibacterial properties against common pathogens, with comparable efficacy from both synthesis routes.
