Effect of the Graphene- Ni/NiFeO Composite on Bacterial Inhibition Mediated by Protein Degradation.

Recent investigations have demonstrated that nickel ferrite nanoparticles and their derivatives have toxicity effects on bacterial cells. In this study, we have prepared nickel ferrite nanoparticles (Ni/NiFeO) and nickel/nickel ferrite graphene oxide (Ni/NiFeO-GO) nanocomposite and evaluated their toxic effects on cells ATCC 25922. The prepared nanomaterials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry techniques.
