“…Furthermore, the positively charged Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ ions from the nanocomposite interact electrostatically with the negatively charged bacterial cell wall, resulting in protein denaturation and disruption of DNA replication processes. These combined effects culminate in the inhibition of bacterial growth and cell death, elucidating the antibacterial mechanism of the Fe 2 O 3 –CuO-CuFe 2 O 4 nanocomposite without adversely affecting nonbacterial cells 55 – 60 . A comparison of inhibition zone of the fabricated CuO–Fe 2 O 3 –CuFe 2 O 4 nanocomposite with other multi-metal oxides from literature is given inTable4.To facilitate comparison, the test concentration and the method used were also tabulated.…”

The synthesis of the Fe2O3–CuO–CuFe2O4 nanocomposite was effectively achieved through the sol–gel technique, utilizing ethanol as a reactive fuel. Investigation of the nanocomposite’s structure via X-ray Diffraction confirmed the coexistence of Fe2O3, CuO, and CuFe2O4 phases within the material. The Scherrer equation was applied to determine an average crystallite size ranging from 60 to 95 nm. UV–visible spectroscopy studies suggested the material possesses an approximate energy bandgap of 4 eV. Scanning Electron Microscopy provided insights into the nanocomposite’s surface morphology, which exhibited a porous and heterogeneous aggregation of particles in various sizes and shapes. When tested for antibacterial efficacy, the nanocomposite exhibited activity against gram-positive S. aureus with a maximum zone of inhibition (ZOI) measuring 9 mm at the highest concentration, whereas no inhibitory effect was detected against gram-negative E.coli.
