“…The most treatments done by nanotechnology are tissue regeneration, bone repair, immunity, cancer treatment, diabetes cure and NPs are also active antimicrobial agents [38]. The nanotubes and nano-capsule are concentrated at the tumor part of the body that help in destruction of the tumor cells [18][19][20]24,39]. The main drawback of ZnO as a photocatalyst is the absorption wavelength of material lies in ultra violet region.…”

In view of enhanced bioactivity and photocatalytic applications, the doped material has gained much attention and present study was focused on the preparation of Zn doped WO 3 (Zn-d-WO 3 ) via precipitation method. The prepared Zn-d-WO 3 was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX). The effect of Zn concentration was studied on antibacterial, antifungal and photocatalytic activities along with structural and morphological variation. The Zn-d-WO 3 was triclinic, spherical and rod shaped and particle size was decreased as the Zn concentration increased. The antimicrobial activity of Zn-d-WO 3 was evaluated against a panel of bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pasturellamu ltocida, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strain (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium notatum). The Zn-d-WO 3 showed promising antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values in the range of 211-387 (μg ml −1 ), whereas the antifungal activity was less than the standard (Fluconazole), which revealed that the Zn-d-WO 3 are highly active against bacterial strains since activity was comparable with standard drug (Rifampicin). The photocatalytic activity (PCA) was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution and dye degradation of 78% and 92% was achieved in 120 min under visible and UV irradiation, respectively. Results revealed that the Zn-d-WO 3 could possibly be used as photocatalyst for the degradation of dyes in wastewater.
