Abstract
In response to the pressing challenges in various fields, particularly healthcare and infection prevention, this research explores the synthesis, characterization, and assessment of ZnO–Ag nanocomposites for antibacterial properties. Employing a solvothermal method, silver nanoparticles were incorporated into hydrothermally synthesized zinc oxide nanorods, aiming to harness their synergistic antibacterial effects. The research systematically analyses the nanocomposites, unveiling their structural and compositional features. Antibacterial potential is evaluated through agar well diffusion assay, demonstrating increased efficacy against diverse bacteria. With implications extending to biomedical applications, these nanocomposites emerge as promising contenders for infection prevention in healthcare settings.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
