Abstract
AbstractA simple and cost‐effective approach was used to synthesize different morphologies of Linde Type L (LTL) nanozeolite. The resulting products were characterized by techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, and Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller measurements. The results showed that LTL nanozeolite was successfully synthesized, and different morphologies, including spherical‐like and disk‐shaped nanoparticles, were obtained. Then, the effect of size and morphology on the antibacterial activity of the obtained products was studied. Spherical‐like LTL nanoparticles showed higher antibacterial activity due to their larger pore volume and surface area and higher loading of biocidal zinc cations.
