Microstructure and Properties of Glass-Ceramics Containing Cu2O Nanocrystallines

Abstract

Abstract: Novel glass-ceramics containing Cu₂O nanocrystallines with features of high Cu loading amount, low cost and easy large scale production is a potential substitute for silver loaded antibacterial glass. In this study, SiO₂-Al₂O₃-K₂O-ZnO-P₂O₅-B₂O₃-CuO glass-ceramics with different ZnO/K₂O were investigated. Their microstructures were characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, FESEM and TEM. The structure-performance relationship was also discussed. The results indicate that there is an enrichment of Zn and P elements around the region where Cu element locates in the glass-ceramics. An appropriate amount of ZnO makes sure the particles size of Cu₂O crystallines precipitated in glass-ceramics be in nano-scale and regulate the leaching rate of Cu element. Glass-ceramics containing Cu₂O nanocrystallines exhibit significant antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. They also show photocatalysis activity for degradation of Victoria blue B solution under visible light. It should be a novel functional glass-ceramics material with great potential.

Key words: glass-ceramics, Cu₂O nanocrystalline, microstructure, antibacterial property, visible light driven photocatalysis
