Gum Acacia Modified Ni Doped CuO Nanoparticles: An Excellent Antibacterial Material

Ni doped CuO Nps (Ni0.1CuO-GA) grown in gum acacia (GA) medium behaved as an efficient antibacterial material. The antibacterial activity of Ni0.1CuO-GA was much higher than the control antibiotic (Amplicillin) and simple Ni doped CuO Nps. Different concentrations of GA were used (as the growth medium) to tune the material’s bioactivity. Among the synthesized Ni0.1CuO-GA samples (G1–G4), G3 sample (synthesized using 1.5% (w/v) GA) showed optimum...
