Abstract

We report a simple and straightforward method for the preparation of graphene oxide-silver aerogel (GOAg) via microwave irradiation. Graphene oxide (GO) was used as a substrate for the growth of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silver complex was used as a precursor. The GOAg were prepared by rapidly expose mixture of GO and silver complexes with microwave for 30 s under an ambient atmosphere. For the nanocomposites, GOAg solution were lyophilized in a freeze-dryer for 24 hours to form an aerogel. The obtained GO and GOAg nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). XRD confirmed the formation GO, and GOAg while GOAg display antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria. We demonstrate
