摘要：A simple method has been developed for production of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in the halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) using green tea (GT) as reducing agentin this work. The formation of HNTs/Ag-NPs was confirmed by UV-Visiblespectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometryand X-ray diffraction pattern. Transmission electron microscopy results revealedthat the spherical and homogeneously distributed Ag-NPs are formed in the lumenas well as in the surface silicate cage of HNTs. The obtained HNTs/Ag-NPsshowed good antibacterial activity towards E.coli and B.subtilis. In general, theresults indicate that the prepared hybrid silver nanocomposites are low costmaterials and can be applied potentially for advanced medical applications.
