Band gap tailoring of cauliflower-shaped CuO nanostructures by Zn doping for antibacterial applications

Transition metal oxide nanostructures are well known as attractive multi-functional nanomaterials and are among the most promising industrial materials for different science and technology applications. The present study, describes the optical, structural, and antibacterial properties of undoped and Zn-doped CuO nanostructures synthesised by a simple low-cost sol-gel technique. The synthesised nanostructures exhibited a monoclinic CuO structure...
