Sonochemical synthesis of inorganic cryogel Ag₂Mo₃O₁₀@Ag/AgO: structural characterization, antibacterial activity, and dye adsorption properties.

ABSTRACT: An additive-free ultrasonic-assisted synthesis of a multi-layered Ag₂Mo₃O₁₀@Ag/AgO cryogel (SMSSO) nanocomposite has been developed, and a possible formation mechanism of multi-layered SMSSO was proposed based on characterization results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS). The FE-SEM images demonstrated the formation process of the multi-layered SMSSO cryogel over time under sonication, starting with the growth of Ag₂Mo₃O₁₀ nanowires, and the formation of spherical nuclei which turn into an octahedron in the presence of excess silver ions. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized cryogel
