Bionanocomposites are innovative sustainable materials that possess multifunctional attractive nature in various fields. Cellulose/chitosan/ ZnO bionanocomposites (CCZBC) films were synthesized by utilizing water extracts of Livistona jekinsiana as reducing as well as capping agents to synthesize ZnO NPs impregnated chitosan/cellulose bionanocomposites thin film. X-ray diffraction pattern of CCZBCC revealed the wurtzite structure of ZnO nanoparticles. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of plant extracts, cellulose, and chitosan in CCZBC. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images provided information about the morphology of the surface of CCZBC. The elemental composition of CCZBC was determined by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) provided the shape and size of CCZBC. CCZBC possessed efficient photocatalytic degradative properties in the remediation of two anthropogenic dyes, Eosin blue and Bromocresol green, potential antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)., and antioxidant property in DPPH assay. Therefore, the chitosan/cellulose/Ag NPs bionanocomposites film can be considered an efficient material for biomedical and environmental applications.
