ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF g-C3N4/ZnWO4 NANORODS

ABSTRACT In this study, we synthesized g-C₃N₄/ZnWO₄ nanorods and evaluated their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, we assessed the cytotoxicity of these nanorods to determine their safety for potential applications. The g-C₃N₄/ZnWO₄ nanocomposite demonstrated a significant zone of inhibition (ZOI) against E. coli at an optimal concentration of 100 µg/disk. This strong inhibition can be attributed to the physicochemical interactions between the nanocomposite and the bacterial surface.
