Antibacterial properties of unique urchin-like CuO nanostructures by chemical bath deposition
Issue Date

Abstract
Unique urchin-like CuO nanostructures were successfully synthesized by a simple chemical bath deposition method at low temperature of 70°C in a short reaction time of 1h. XRD pattern revealed the presence of pure crystalline monoclinic CuO. Morphological analysis revealed the formation of spherical structures composed of numerous hair-like structures arranged in an urchin-like fashion. A plausible growth mechanism was proposed in this paper. Antibacterial test revealed that the nanostructures successfully inhibited the growth of both S. aureus and E. coli.
