Implication

Demonstrates improved photocatalytic and antibacterial activity in ZnO through Ni doping, suggesting a way to enhance environmental and health applications.

Key Points

The aim is to investigate the effects of nickel doping on the properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles for photocatalytic and antibacterial applications.
Synthesis of pure and nickel-doped ZnO nanoparticles with varying Ni concentrations.
Characterization of optical and photocatalytic properties through UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and kinetic analysis.
Evaluation of antibacterial properties using agar well diffusion methods.
15 wt.% Ni@ZnO showed the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency for methylene blue with a concentration of 0.53 after 80 minutes.
Kinetic analysis indicated pseudo first order behavior with an increased rate constant of 3.06 × 10 –3 min –1 for 15 wt.% Ni@ZnO.
Nickel doping improved antibacterial activity, resulting in inhibition zones of 16 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 15 mm against Vibrio spp.
