Preparation of Reduced ZnO/Ag Nanocomposites by a Green Microwave‐Assisted Method and Their Applications in Photodegradation of Methylene Blue Dye, and as Antimicrobial and Anticancer Agents

“…Yeganeh and co‐workers have reported a magnetic nanoparticles, which was synthesized using Minidium leavigatum leaves extract. The resulting magnetic nanoparticles showed excellent adsorption capacity for removal RB 222 aqueous solution [31] . Baruwati et al.…”

Biogenic Synthesis of Zinc Oxide/Chitosan Nanocomposite using Callistemon citrinus (Bottle Brush) for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

“…[6] Nanoparticle synthesis uses extracts from different parts of the plant, which act as capping, reducing, and stabilizing agents, thereby removing the harmful reducing agents. [7] Several studies have shown the effective removal of harmful organic molecules from wastewater in the past decade using different processes, among which photocatalysis is one of the techniques used for the degradation of the organic waste produced in the water. [8] A semiconductor material such as zinc oxide (ZnO) has been used as a photocatalyst to degrade organic pollutants because of its eco-friendly, low cost, stability, and peculiar properties that allow effective photocatalytic reaction on their surface.…”

Development of Three-Dimensional Nickel–Cobalt Oxide Nanoflowers for Superior Photocatalytic Degradation of Food Colorant Dyes: Catalyst Properties and Reaction Kinetic Study

“…With regard to food quality and safety measures, excessive consumption of various food colorant additives have raised substantial concerns for their carcinogenic effects on aquatic organisms and human beings. , Generally, artificial food colorants are instilled in soft drinks, dairy and bakery products to make the product look attractive and appealing to customers, without substantial contribution to nutritional value. , Synthetic food colorants are reduced to noxious aromatic-amine intermediates by saliva or gastric juices of stomach in our body . The toxic nature of the colorant dye, Allura Red (AR) has been explored in rats because of its decomposition into carcinogenic intermediates (aromatic-amines) by intestinal microorganisms. , AR food dye is a highly stable, water-soluble artificial food-coloring agent used in cosmetics, food, and beauty products to provide an attractive colored alternative to customers. , On excessive consumption, azo-based organic food dyes adversely affect the human body, causing allergies, gene damage, and urinary issues, which decrease the body immunity. , The AR dye can be reduced by eco-friendly electrodes or glassy carbon electrodes for electrochemical detection …”

“…8,9 On excessive consumption, azo-based organic food dyes adversely affect the human body, causing allergies, gene damage, and urinary issues, which decrease the body immunity. 10,11 The AR dye can be reduced by eco-friendly electrodes or glassy carbon electrodes for electrochemical detection. 11 Recently, transition-metal oxide (TMO) nanomaterials have displayed various attractive, dimensional, and morphological properties for diverse applications in research fields such as chemistry, materials science, physics, and biology.…”
