Antibacterial and catalytic activity of Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles: structural, optical, and morphological study

Aloe vera assisted green synthesis of Ag and Cu co-doped ZnO nanoparticles and a comprehensive analysis of their structural, morphological, optical, electrical and antibacterial properties

“…The co-doping of Ag and Cu into ZO NPs results in an increased bandgap compared to undoped ZO NPs, a phenomenon commonly observed with multiple dopants. The increased bandgap in ACZO is attributed to intricate interactions between Ag and Cu dopants with the ZO lattice, leading to the creation of new energy states within the band [ 107 , 108 ]. Pure ZO, characterized as a wide bandgap semiconductor, is employed in various applications, including transparent conductive coatings, UV detectors, semiconductor devices, etc.…”

“…CZO, distinguished by enhanced electrical conductivity, finds application in gas sensors and photovoltaic devices. ACZO, amalgamating the properties of Ag and Cu dopants, exhibits potential applications in antibacterial coatings, gas sensors, and photocatalysis [ 107 , 108 ].…”

A Review on Synthesis and Characterization of Copper Doped Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites

“…(2021) Utilized precipitation method, as zinc acetate dehydrate 0.5M of 50ml mixed in NaOH 2gm in 50 ml distilled water at RT, as white precipitates obtained, dried in oven at 100℃, calcinated at 400℃ for 6 hours. CuSO4.5H2O dissolved in ZnO solution with same synthesis process as above to get doped nanocomposites [7]. Bandela 2018) utilized co-precipitation method, first Zno nps were synthesized from zinc salt 0.05M and 10ml Euphorbia milii plant extract thoroughly mixed at RT for 30 minutes.…”

“…As era changes development in the fields of sciences with modified research has been occurred extensively by the leading routes of developments in the research fields [4]. Water pollution is one of the serious issue in present age due to industrialization and larger urbanization of society leading to enamourous health issue in all form of life, which is caused through disposal of industrial effluents from medicine industry, dye industries, food industries, contaminating fresh water forms through accumulation of toxic metals in aquatic animals and ground percolation resources, as bimetallic nanocomposites works efficiently in water purification in the form of adsorbent [5,6,7]. Few years ago researches developed methodology in creating newer techniques for enhancing formation of nanoforms from metal embedded plant phytoconstituents as a single nanomaterial that was largely implicated in every fields of science and medicines [8].…”

Green facile synthesis of Ag-doped ZnO nanoparticles from Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract and investigation of their Antibacterial activity

“…It's worth mentioning that all of the samples were effective against G+ and G-bacteria. Table 3 compares the concentrations of various metals doped ZnO NPs necessary to prevent the growth of human diseases to those reported in the literature [25][26][27][28][29][30].…”
