Herein we report the hydrothermal synthesis, characterization and biological applications of h-MoO3 and silver doped MoO3 nanoparticles (NPs). The phase formations of the synthesized NPs were identified using X-Ray diffraction studies and vibrational spectral studies. The average crystallite size of the NPs tends to decrease with increase in doping concentration. The surface morphology and the elemental composition of the nanoparticles were observed from SEM and EDAX analysis. The crystallite nature was obtained from HRTEM images. The band gap energies obtained from UV-DRS spectra for h-MoO3 (3.26 eV) were found to decrease as the concentration of the dopant (Ag) increases (3.22–2.76 eV). The antibacterial activity of the prepared nanoparticles was tested against some gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains viz., Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus, Citrobacter koseri and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively. Also their seed germination properties were studied on foxtail and finger millet seeds for a period of seven days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
