The goal behind this work is to prepare, characterize, and study the antimicrobial behavior of zirconia (ZrO 2 ) nanoparticles (NPs). Various techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used for studying the mineralogical structure and crystal size. The microstructure and chemical composition of the prepared particles were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope attached with an energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) unit. The antagonistic ability against several Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacteria, including Salmonella paratyphi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Alcaligenes aquatilis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus, was assessed using the well diffusion method. The results of XRD and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed that the prepared material exhibited the phase of zirconium nanoparticles with particle sizes ranging between 40 and 75 nm. The antimicrobial test results demonstrated that the inhibitory effect increased with the increase of concentration. The inhibitory effect was more pronounced against Gram-positive bacteria, as indicated by the larger size of the inhibitory zone. At a 9% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration, the inhibitory zone had a diameter of 3.50 mm for S. aureus compared to a diameter of 3.40 mm for S. pneumoniae. The use of zirconium oxide nanoparticles reduced the diameter of the inhibitory zone when tested against S. aureus at a 3% DMSO concentration (0.50 mm diameter) and against S. pneumoniae (0.40 mm diameter). Zirconia nanoparticles were also evaluated for their antifungal activity against several species, including Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus f lavus, and Penicillium sp. The size of the inhibitory zone indicated the susceptibility of microorganisms to nanozirconium oxide, resulting in a stronger inhibition of Penicillium sp. at a 100% DMSO concentration (4.50 mm diameter) compared to A. niger and A. f lavus (3.00 mm diameter). The results for Penicillium sp. at a 3% DMSO concentration showed a diameter of the inhibitory zone of 0.90 mm, while for A. niger and A. flavus, the diameter was 0.80 mm. Thus, our findings demonstrate that the zirconium oxide nanoparticles possess the capability to reduce the inhibition zone effectively for both bacterial and fungal activities.

Materials with a “nano” structure are increasingly used in medicine and biotechnology as drug delivery systems, bioimaging agents or biosensors in the monitoring of toxic substances, heavy metals and environmental variations. Furthermore, in the food industry, they have found applications as detectors of food adulteration, microbial contamination and even in packaging for monitoring product freshness. Carbon dots (CDs) as materials with broad as well as unprecedented possibilities could revolutionize the economy, if only their synthesis was based on low-cost natural sources. So far, a number of studies point to the positive possibilities of obtaining CDs from natural sources. This review describes the types of carbon dots and the most important methods of obtaining them. It also focuses on presenting the potential application of carbon dots in biotechnology and food technology.

“…Features of the structure and surface morphology of carbon nanomaterials make them very attractive for catalysis [7,8]. The application of nanocarbon in biotechnology and medicine [9][10][11], in construction [12] is promising. Thus, the creation of new materials with functional properties that significantly exceed the properties of modern ones or have unique combinations of properties that cannot be obtained in existing materials, is an urgent need of science and technology.…”

The object of research is the mechanisms of synthesis of nanocarbon structures in the process of electric high-voltage breakdown of hydrocarbons. The problem to be solved is the purposeful synthesis of various types of nanocarbon with small losses of raw materials. Mechanisms of nanocarbon formation in the process of high-voltage electric breakdown of hydrocarbons have been established. It is shown that a high-voltage breakdown leads to a cascade of chemical transformations. As a result of transformations, lower gaseous hydrocarbons are formed due to the destruction of molecules and higher ones – as a result of polymerization, and as a result of dehydrocyclization and polymerization with the participation of metal catalysts – various carbon nanostructures. The possibility of targeted synthesis of fullerene-like structures, nanotubes with diameters from 10 to 50 nm, nanofibers, and films is demonstrated. Experimental studies have confirmed that the qualitative and quantitative composition of nanocarbon can be varied in a wide range. With an increase in the number of carbon atoms or the number of C–C bonds in the raw material molecules, other things being equal, the practical yield of solid nanocarbon increases. It was determined that the synthesis of structured nanocarbon from a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, formed as a result of high-voltage breakdown of liquid hydrocarbons, actively occurs on the nickel-chromium catalytic surface. An increase in the area of the catalytic deposition surface leads to an increase in the yield of nanocarbon. The study of the ability of the obtained nanocarbon samples to absorb electromagnetic radiation confirmed the potential of the method of high-voltage breakdown of hydrocarbons for the synthesis of materials that weaken electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 25 to 38 GHz. The greatest weakening is observed for samples consisting mainly of carbon nanotubes and nickel nanoparticles
