A facile and economical hydrothermal method was adapted to synthesis spinal Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles with cubic structure. The crystallography and optical properties of as synthesised nanoparticles have been studied using XRD (X-ray diffraction) and (UV-Vis)UV-Visible spectroscopy. The morphology of the nanoparticles has been revealed via FESEM (Field emission scanning electron microscopy). The synergetic antibacterial effect of Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles against gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacterial strains were investigated. The results suggest that Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles have a potent antibacterial property against both gram classes of bacteria suggesting that nanoparticles of Zn 2 SnO 4 can be used as a bactericidal agent to prevent and control the spreading and persistence of infectious diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
