The research on catalysis con-temporarily emerged as one of the pioneered research in modern chemistry. In the last few years, nanocatalysis has become an emerging area of science and technology owing to their exceptional potential effects in catalysis and selectivity. On the nano-level, the nanostructured materials possessed different size, which rendered different surface area, that conveys the exclusive assets to nanocatalysts compared to their bulk counterpart. In this chapter, we emphasise on the fundamental understanding of different nanocatalysts and how they catalyse catalytic reactions.","PeriodicalId":147827,"journal":{"name":"Magnetic Oxides and Composites II","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133824844","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}

Antimicrobial study was tested on Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria by adopting disc-diffusion agar method. The prepared nanoferrites show excellent antimicrobial function with a zone of inhibition of 10-12 mm against E. coli, 5-7 mm against K. pneumonia, 9-12 mm against B. subtilis and 5-7 mm against S. aureus. Inhibition of the growth was ascertained with reference to Ampicillin, a standard antibacterial drug, that acts as positive control. The antibacterial properties of the prepared ferrites bid great challenges in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.","PeriodicalId":147827,"journal":{"name":"Magnetic Oxides and Composites II","volume":"60 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120888562","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}
