Overview

Nanocomposite synthesis enhances antibacterial activity against pathogens while improving photocatalytic efficiency and shelf-life.

Key Points

  • Antibacterial activity against common pathogens increased with copper doping in nanoparticles, suggesting improved fruit preservation.
  • Photocatalytic efficiency reached 98.2% for Cu-ZnO nanocomposites, demonstrating significant potential for environmental benefits.
  • Green synthesis using Phytolacca dodecandra root extract minimizes harmful chemicals, promoting eco-friendly nanomaterials.
  • Characterization techniques like UV-Vis spectroscopy provided insights into the band gap and stability of synthesized nanoparticles.
