Implication

These nanocomposites demonstrate potent antimicrobial effects and effective pollutant degradation, indicating strong potential for environmental applications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to synthesize zinc titanate nanocomposites and evaluate their bactericidal and pollutant degradation capabilities.
  • Synthesized zinc titanate nanocomposites via doping TiO2 with Zn.
  • Characterized structural, morphological, and optical properties using X-ray diffraction and other techniques.
  • Evaluated photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi.
  • Achieved 98.9% degradation of methylene blue in 120 minutes, outperforming TiO2 and ZnO.
  • Demonstrated superior bactericidal activity at low concentrations against Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.
  • Optimal antimicrobial concentration was found to be 2.5 µg/ml, balancing efficacy with minimal toxicity.
