Density Functional Theory Study of the Spontaneous Formation of Covalent Bonds at the Silver/Silica Interface in Silver Nanoparticles Embedded in SiO 2 : Implications for Ag + Release

Balout, Hilal Tarrat, Nathalie Puibasset, Joël

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in the health-care sector and industrial applications because of their outstanding antibacterial activity. This bactericidal effect is mainly attributed to the release of Ag+ ions in an aqueous medium, the first step of which is the dissolution of the AgNP via the oxidation of its surface by O2. With...
