“…ZnO and TiO 2 have unique physical and optoelectrical properties because of their dual semiconducting and piezoelectric properties with a wide bandgap of 3.37 eV and 3.2 eV, respectively [ 11 ]. These materials are categorised under Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) materials for human consumption by the United States Food and Drugs Administration (USFDA) [ 12 , 13 ].…”

This paper presents for the first time a successful fabrication of ternary ZnO/TiO2/Ag nanocomposites consisting of zinc oxide (ZnO), titania (TiO2) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesised using Morinda citrifolia fruit (MCF) extract. ZnONPs were synthesised using the co-precipitation method, and TiO2 and Ag were introduced into the precursor solutions under microwave irradiation to obtain ZnO/TiO2/Ag nanocomposites (NCs). This material demonstrated enhanced bactericidal effect towards bacterial pathogens compared to that of the binary TiO2/Ag, Ag and TiO2 alone. In vitro cytotoxicity results of the as-synthesised ZnO/TiO2/AgNCs on RAW 264.7 macrophages and A549 cell lines revealed a negative role in cytotoxicity, but contributed astoundingly towards antimicrobials as compared of Ag alone and binary Ag/TiO2. This study shows that the resultant ternary metal/bi-semiconductor nanocomposites may provide a therapeutic strategy for the eradication of bacterial pathogens without affecting the healthy mammalian cells.

“…In the recent decades, various metal/metal oxide nanoparticles including Au, CuO, Co, TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , modified carbon dots, metal‐organic framework based materials have gained the researcher interest and they are frequently applied for environmental remediation and pharmaceutical applications. Among different materials, zinc oxide is a well‐established semiconductor material because of its excellent adsorptive, transparency, high melting point, optical, conductivity, low cost, stability and controllability properties which drives applications in catalysis, supercapacitors gas storage and separation, biomedical, adsorption, magnetism and sensors [2–7] . On the other hand, silver nanoparticles are also currently one of the most widely commercialized nanomaterials and they are extensively used in various areas such as electrochemical, biosensors, antibacterial coatings, and extremely effective catalysts of organic reactions [8–11] …”

In this present study, we report a facile microwave assisted green synthesis of ZnO/Ag nanocomposites (denoted as G‐ZnO/Ag NCs) by employing Tridax procumbens leaf extract as a green solvent for photocatalytic, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activities. The prepared nanocomposites was characterized by various techniques to study its crystallinity, morphology, structure, chemical composition, optical properties, and so on. The nanocomposites exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance (90.2 %) toward methylene blue degradation when irradiated under visible light (120 min). Furthermore, the G‐ZnO/Ag NCs showed good reusable properties up to four consecutive cycles. In addition, the resultant nanocomposites showed significant antimicrobial activity with the zones of inhibition of 9.85±0.12 and 10.51±0.63 mm against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and 11.98±0.22 and 13.76±0.12 mm against gram‐negative (Escherichia coli), bacteria respectively, as measured using the well diffusion method. Although, the in‐vitro cytotoxicity test showed 39.58 % viability of MCF‐7 cells. In summary, this study suggest that G‐ZnO/Ag NCs as a promising tool for wastewater treatment and nano biomedical applications using low cost and eco‐friendly approach.
