Abstract
This current study presents a green synthesis approach of ZnO, biochar and ZnO/biochar nanostructures using leaves of Pontederia crassipes L. The green fabricated nanomaterials were investigated using different characterization techniques, including as XRD, UV–Vis, TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, BET/BJH, and FTIR. The fabricated nanomaterials were well crystallized with an average crystallite size of 40 nm (ZnO), 43 nm (biochar), and 48 nm (ZnO/biochar). A coomassie brilliant blue G250 (CBB) and methylene blue (MB) removal study was conducted to optimizing (optimize) the influence of operating factors on the adsorption efficiency. Employing a ZnO/biochar 98 % and 99 % adsorption efficiencies were reached in an optimum condition for CCB and MB, respectively. Adopting ZnO/biochar heterostructure as an anticancer for MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was also evaluated. The MTT assay revealed that ZnO/biochar samples exhibit a promise in vitro cytotoxic efficacy against the MCF-7 cell line with IC50 being 79.82 μg /mL. In addition, antimicrobial activity of ZnO/biochar nanoparticles was evaluated on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were used as test microorganisms. The results revealed that the ZnO/biochar possesses an antibacterial inhibition zone of 11 and 9 mm on E. coli, and S. aureus, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Launched in January 1998, Inorganic Chemistry Communications is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of short communications in the major areas of inorganic, organometallic and supramolecular chemistry. Topics include synthetic and reaction chemistry, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and the use of metal and organometallic compounds in stoichiometric and catalytic synthesis or organic compounds.
