Study of structural, optical and antibacterial properties of starch-capped Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs)

In our present investigation, we have synthesized starch-capped Cu doped ZnO (ZnO:Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) by simple wet chemical method and studied their structural, optical and antibacterial effects on/against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Chemically synthesized nanoparticle have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), high resolution...
