Abstract
We herein report the synthesis of MFe 2 O 4 (M = Mn, Mg)/reduced graphene oxide (MFe 2 O 4 /RGO) through a simple and novel pressure cooker assisted solvothermal method. The structure and morphology of the as-prepared materials were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The antimicrobial study revealed that the as-synthesized materials displayed good antibacterial effect against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. In addition, due to the small particle size of MnFe 2 O 4 , MnFe 2 O 4 /RGO nanocomposite show better antibacterial activity than MgFe 2 O 4 /RGO nanocomposite.
