Effect of Mg doping on morphology, photocatalytic activity and related biological properties of Zn1−xMgxO nanoparticles
Effect of Mg doping on morphology, photocatalytic activity and related biological properties of Zn1−xMgxO nanoparticles
The objective of this study is to synthesize ZnO and Mg doped ZnO(Zn1−xMgxO) nanoparticles via the sol-gel method, and characterize their structures and to investigate their biological properties such as antibacterial activity and hemolytic potential.Nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the sol-gel method using zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O) and magnesium acetate tetrahydrate (Mg(CH3COO)2.4H2O) as precursors. Methanol and monoethanolamine were used as solvent and sol stabilizer, re
