Abstract :
Nano composites made from nickel oxide and titanium dioxide semiconductors are gaining a lot of interest in a wide variety of fields, including antibacterial applications. In the current study, the chemical sol-gel process is used to synthesize NiO/TiO2 nano composite materials with varying weight percentages. The tetragonal anatase phase of TiO2 and face-centered cubic NiO both have peaks in the X-ray diffraction pattern. It was discovered that crystallite sizes ranged from 14 to 25 nm. The agglomerated particles are shown in spherical shape on the SEM pictures. The composition element contained in the composites was displayed using an EDAX pattern. All samples exhibit good antibacterial efficacy against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria, according to the antibacterial studies.Nano composites made from nickel oxide and titanium dioxide semiconductors are gaining a lot of interest in a wide variety of fields, including antibacterial applications.
