Production of green synthesized iron oxide/graphene magnetic nanocomposite as a novel antibacterial material

Synthesis of green iron magnetic nanoparticles (Nps) based on graphene is an environmentally friendly method in nanotechnology. In this method, graphene is synthesized via electrochemical process from graphite. Then, a homogeneous solution of graphene in a mixture of water and alcohol is prepared, and iron magnetic Nps are synthesized using iron(II) chloride and iron(III) chloride in a 1:2 ratio. Finally, the antibacterial property of the synthesized nanocomposite was investigated, and analyses including SEM, XRD, FT-IR, EDAX, and VSM were performed.
