Antibacterial Efficacy Comparison of Electrolytic and Reductive Silver Nanoparticles Against <i>Propionibacterium acnes</i> by Suparno Suparno, Rita Prasetyowati, Khafidh Nur Aziz, Anggarwati Rahma, Eka Sentia Ayu Lestari, Siti Chaerani Nabiilah, Deby Grace

“…<b>Background:</b> The aim of this study was to develop an electrolysis system to produce silver nanoparticles free from toxic gases, as the most common reduction and electrolysis techniques produce nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) as a byproduct, which is harmful to human health. The new electrolysis system used two identical silver plate electrodes, replacing silver and carbon rods, and used water as the electrolyte instead of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) solution since AgNO₃ is the source of NO₂. …”
