Pathogens cause infections and millions of deaths globally, while antipathogens are drugs or treatments designed to combat them. To date, multifunctional nanomaterials (NMs), such as organic, inorganic, and nanocomposites, have attracted significant attention by transforming antipathogen livelihoods. They are very small in size so can quickly pass through the walls of bacterial, fungal, or parasitic cells and viral particles to perform their antipathogenic activity. They are more reactive and have a high band gap, making them more effective than traditional medications. Moreover, due to some pathogen’s resistance to currently available medications, the antipathogen performance of NMs is becoming crucial. Additionally, due to their prospective properties and administration methods, NMs are eventually chosen for cutting-edge applications and therapies, including drug administration and diagnostic tools for antipathogens. Herein, NMs have significant characteristics that can facilitate identifying and eliminating pathogens in real-time. This mini-review analyzes multifunctional NMs as antimicrobial tools and investigates their mode of action. We also discussed the challenges that need to be solved for the utilization of NMs as antipathogens.

“…Among the various kinds of nanocomposites, ZnO/CuO nanocomposites have great potential in advancement of photonic, electronic devices, photovoltaic, light emitting diode (LED) lasers, UV detectors, solar cells, transistors, cosmetics, and textile industries (Li 2020;Arujo Junior 2017;Mirzaei et al, 2009). Similarly, the nanocomposites have displayed antimicrobial activity as well as great biomedical significance (Shehu et al, 2020;Widiarti et al, 2017); Bairamy et al, 2020). Overviewing literatures available, catalytic efficiency of nanocomposites have been remained as the preferred topic of research for removal of heavy metal ions, organic, and inorganic pollutants (Sakib et al, 2019).…”

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and zinc oxide/copper oxide (ZnO/CuO) nanocomposites were constructed via green-synthesis route involving the use of Punica granatum seed extracts through microwave method. The as-synthesized samples were investigated for their catalytic activities. The fabricated nanomaterials were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The peak observed at 385 nm in the surface plasmon resonance of ZnO NPs suggests the formation of nanoparticles of different sizes. The successful synthesis of composite was inferred from the shifting of UV-vis absorbance peak. Furthermore, the band gap energy of ZnO/CuO (with 10 wt.% of CuO precursor) was obtained to be 2.52 eV which was found lesser than that of nanoparticles. Phase morphology studied via XRD revealed the nanoparticles of crystalline nature. The mean crystallite size of extract mediated ZnO NPs and ZnO/CuO nanocomposites were found to be 61.5 and 53 nm, correspondingly. Similarly, morphological analysis of as-synthesized nanoparticles via HR-TEM showed the irregular to roughly spherical shape with size 100-200 nm. Nanomaterials generated in this manner were employed for the catalytic reduction of toxic 4-nitrophenol. The ZnO/CuO (with 10 wt.% of CuO) nanocomposites showed the higher degradation efficiency towards reduction of 4-nitrophenol compared to ZnO/CuO (5 wt.%) nanocomposites.
