Abstract

The present disclosure provides biocidal metal particles, and methods for production thereof. The method of producing the biocidal materials includes thermally spraying, into a collection system, a feed material having a metal mixture having from about 2% to about 96 wt. % Cu, about 2 to about 96 wt. % Zn, and about 1 to about 40 wt. % Ni, under conditions to give particles with a size in a range from about 1 to about 50 microns. The metal particles are collected and are characterized in that they have an amorphous solid structure and exhibit enhanced biocidal properties.

Abstract

Organic-inorganic nanoflowers, methods of synthesis, and uses of the nanoflowers are described. It has been found that organic-inorganic nanoflowers can be grown in the presence of a solid substrate containing copper without the requirement for added copper ion. The method includes exposing bacteria to a solid substrate containing copper in the presence of an aqueous solution that contains phosphate ions. The aqueous solution can additionally contain chloride ions, similar to that of a phosphate-buffered saline composition. The solid substrate can be an alloy of copper and tin, and the substrate can have phosphorus incorporated into it.
