In this study, nanosilver-graphene composites were successfully manufactured via the horizontal vapor phase growth (HVPG) technique. A quartz tube loaded with the starting material, equal masses silver (Ag) powder and multi-layer graphene (Ge), was evacuated to ~10-6 Torr, sealed, and then baked at 1200°C for 6 hours, with its orientation such that a horizontal temperature gradient was generated across the tube. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis revealed variations in the structure and composition of the nanomaterials deposited on different regions of the tube, and the diameter of the nanomaterials was found to decrease with decreasing temperature.

SnO2-Ag composite nanomaterials of mass ratio 1:4, 2:3, 3:2 and 4:1 were fabricated and tested for toxicity to E. coli using the pour-plate technique. The said nanomaterials were mixed with laminating fluid and then coated on glass slides. The intensity of UVA transmitted through the coated glass slides was measured. Results revealed that the 1:4 ratios of SnO2-Ag composite nanomaterials have the optimum toxicity to E. coli. Furthermore, the glass slides coated with SnO2 nanomaterial showed the lowest intensity of transmitted UVA.
