To evaluate the antibacterial activity of the NPs, broth microdilution, antibiofilm screening, and time-kill assay were performed. The XRD patterns revealed the synthesis of face-centered cubic (fcc) structure of metallic silver. The average crystallite sizes calculated using the Debye-Scherrer equation were found to be 20.38 nm for AgNPs and 17 nm for Gd@AgNPs, demonstrating the successful incorporation of Gd into the silver lattice without the formation of secondary phases at a doping concentration of less than 7 %. The findings demonstrated that the synthesized NPs displayed a remarkable antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria, and gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, docking analysis demonstrated that AgNPs and Gd@AgNPs exert inhibitory effects on critical bacterial enzymes, including DNA gyrase, penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), KPC-2 carbapenemase, and dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS). These findings provide insight into the molecular mechanisms driving the antibacterial efficacy of AgNPs, associating enzyme inhibition with reduced microbial virulence. Notably, the study underscores the superior performance of Gd@AgNPs, highlighting their potential as versatile agents with antibacterial properties. Furthermore, both NPs demonstrated inhibitory effects on both bacterial biofilms’ formation and pre-formed biofilms. These results demonstrated that both NPs could be developed as an antibacterial in combating pathogenic microorganisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100614,"journal":{"name":"Hybrid Advances","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100615"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146077143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that the velocity ratio strongly influences near-wall shear stress, while the Hartmann number serves as an effective control parameter for regulating velocity and temperature profiles. Increasing the thermal source/sink parameter from 0.1 to 0.2 raises the temperature profile by 25.52 %, while raising the Hartmann number from 0.5 to 1 enhances the velocity profile by 3.89 %. The nanoparticle volume fraction improves thermal performance, whereas base fluid variations primarily affect temperature distribution.

This is a critical review of the current advances in chemical, green, and hybrid synthesis protocols, which expound how particle size, morphology, and surface-functionalisation dictate the efficacy of adsorption and the photocatalytic degradation pathways. The special focus is given to doped NiO systems and NiO based composites, which are characterized by an increased charge separation, modulation of the band-gap, and the production of reactive oxygen species. Comparative studies have shown how optimised NiO nanostructures can have removal efficiencies of more than 90–99 % of primary classes of dyes with visible or solar light. The review also outlines the current issues such as nanoparticle aggregation, low recoverability, and possible ecotoxicological effects, and suggests future research directions that could be useful to allow scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable application of NiO-based materials in industrial wastewater purification.

The hybrid nanofluid contains suspended nanoparticles whose transport is described via Buongiorno’s model, while motile microorganisms induce bioconvection in the boundary layer. A homogeneous first-order chemical reaction with Arrhenius-type activation energy is considered to capture nanoparticle consumption and temperature-dependent reaction kinetics relevant to catalytic and reactive transport systems. Using similarity transformations, the governing steady boundary-layer equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and solved numerically via MATLAB’s <span>bvp4c</span> algorithm. The results reveal that stronger chemical reaction rates substantially suppress solute concentration within the boundary layer, whereas higher activation energy delays reaction onset and enhances nanoparticle retention. The combination of Brownian motion and thermophoresis enhances thermal and solutal diffusion rates which enable researchers to manage heat and mass transfer in reaction–diffusion hybrid nanofluid systems. The calculated skin friction and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers and motile microorganism density numbers demonstrate how hydrodynamic forces interact with thermal and solutal and bioconvective transport mechanisms. The research results have immediate value for chemical and process engineering because they support applications including catalytic surface cooling and bio-reactive coating flows and nanofluid-assisted separation processes and bioconvective transport in functional fluids.

The results offer important insights like, the Jute-Coir-Jute composite showed the highest tensile strength of 1573.33 N due to improved fiber-matrix adhesion and proper load transfer, while the Oil Palm-Coir-Oil Palm composite demonstrates the highest flexural strength of 189.91 N. Additionally, the Jute-Coir-Jute composite showed excellent impact resistance, with a value of 8.5 J, due to fewer voids and pullouts, which reduce stress concentrations and scattering of results.
