Overview

Randomized trial examines structural and antibacterial properties of Y₂O₃ nanoparticles, indicating agent choice affects outcomes.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how different precipitating agents influence the properties of Y₂O₃ nanoparticles.
  • Y₂O₃ nanoparticles synthesized using acetic acid, oxalic acid, sodium carbonate, and urea as precipitating agents.
  • Characterization methods included X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, UV-Vis absorption, and Raman spectroscopy.
  • Antibacterial activity assessed against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • XRD confirmed cubic Y₂O₃ formation with crystallite sizes of 25 to 35 nm.
  • Optical band gap values ranged from 5.1 to 5.6 eV, dependent on the precipitating agent.
  • Acetic acid-derived Y₂O₃ exhibited 18 mm inhibition against S. aureus and 19 mm against E. coli, indicating strong antibacterial properties.
