Abstract

Abstract: Antibacterial activity of boron-doped TiO₂ (B/TiO₂) nano-materials under visible light irradiation and in the dark was investigated. A simple sol-gel method was used to synthesize TiO₂ nano-materials. X-ray diffraction pattern of B/TiO₂ nano-materials represents the diffraction peaks relating to the crystal planes of TiO₂ (anatase and rutile). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy result shows that part of boron ions incorporates into TiO₂ lattice to form a possible chemical environment like Ti—O—B and the rest exist in the form of B₂O₃. The study on antibacterial effect of B/TiO₂ nano-materials on fungal Candida albicans (ATCC10231), Gram-negative Escherichia coli (ATCC25922) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538) shows that the antibacterial action is more significant on Candida albicans than on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Under visible light irradiation, the antibacterial activity is superior to that in the dark.
