Abstract

This study introduces a novel Metronidazole-Based ZnMoO₄ Nanocomposite (MTZ-ZnMO), a hybrid material combining ZnMoO₄ and metronidazole (MTZ) that exhibits significant potential for photocatalytic and antifungal applications. The nanocomposite was synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method and characterized using various analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Photo-luminance emission spectra (PL) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of the nanocomposite was evaluated through the degradation of methylene blue (MB) visible light irradiation. Additionally, its antifungal properties were assessed against common fungi . Results demonstrated incorporation of MTZ resulted in enhanced photocatalytic degradation of MB under visible light irradiation and concentration dependent antifungal activity against . These findings highlight the material’s multifunctional potential for use in environmental remediation and catalytic applications, offering a promising approach to integrating photocatalytic and antifungul properties in a single nanocomposite.

甲硝唑基 ZnMoO₄纳米复合材料的合成与表征：光催化和抗真菌活性

本研究介绍了一种新型甲硝唑基 ZnMoO₄纳米复合材料（MTZ-ZnMO），这是一种结合了 ZnMoO₄和甲硝唑（MTZ）的混合材料，在光催化和抗真菌应用方面具有巨大潜力。该纳米复合材料采用简便的水热法合成，并使用多种分析技术进行表征，包括 X 射线衍射（XRD）、傅立叶扫描电子显微镜（FESEM）、能量色散光谱（EDS）、光致发光光谱（PL）和紫外可见光谱。通过降解亚甲基蓝（MB）的可见光照射，评估了纳米复合材料的光催化性能。此外，还评估了纳米复合材料对常见真菌的抗真菌性能。结果表明，在可见光照射下，MTZ 的加入增强了甲基溴的光催化降解，并对......真菌具有浓度依赖性抗真菌活性。这些发现凸显了该材料在环境修复和催化应用方面的多功能潜力，为在单一纳米复合材料中集成光催化和抗真菌特性提供了一种前景广阔的方法。

期刊介绍： Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
