Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis of ZnO–Te/TeO2 Nanocomposite for Multidrug-Resistant Microorganisms and Biofilm Eradication

Key Points

This research aims to develop an antimicrobial nanocomposite that effectively targets multidrug-resistant microorganisms.
Developed a sonication–freeze–dry technique for synthesizing nanocomposites
Created hybrid ZnO-nanorod–decorated Te/α-TeO2 sheets
Evaluated the antimicrobial effectiveness against biofilms
The nanocomposite showed significant effectiveness against multidrug-resistant pathogens
Demonstrated a strong capability to disrupt biofilms formed by these microorganisms

Abstract

The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens demands antimicrobial materials that combine tunable surface chemistry with durable, non-antibiotic kill mechanisms. We reported a sonication–freeze–dry route to hybrid ZnO-nanorod–decorated Te/α-TeO2 sheets and...
