Abstract Water contaminated with pathogenic microbes is considered as one of the most common routes for
transmitting diseases in human beings. Different methods have been applied for the decontamination of microbes
in contaminated water. In the current study, an easy to do hydrothermal method has been used for the preparation
of TiO2-Ag nanoparticles. The obtained material was characterised using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and
fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphological appearance of the obtained nanoparticles was
in the shape of a sphere with a size range of 60-90 nm. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared nanoparticles was
tested against… More >
