Original Abstract

Twelve Cu-based ternary (Cu-Me1-S, Me1 = Fe, Sn, or Sb) and quaternary (Cu-Me2-Sn-S, Me2 = Fe, Zn, or V) nanocrystalline sulfides are shown as perspective antibacterial materials here. They were prepared from elemental precursors by a one-step solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis in a 100 g batch using scalable eccentric vibratory ball milling. Most of the products have shown strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. For instance, stannite Cu2FeSnS4 and mohite Cu2SnS3 were the most active against E. coli, whereas kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 and rhodostannite Cu2FeSn3S8 exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus. In general, stannite has shown the best antibacterial properties out of all the studied samples. Five out of twelve products have been prepared using mechanochemical synthesis for the first time in a scalable fashion here. The presented synthetic approach is a promising alternative to traditional syntheses of nanomaterials suitable for biological applications and shows ternary and quaternary sulfides as potential candidates for the next-generation antibacterial agents. © 2022 American Chemical Society.
