Effect of pH and (Y, Ag) co-doping on the antibacterial and toxicity properties of ZrO 2 nanoparticles

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: nanoparticles was inspected using the brine shrimp lethality assay, which showed that the material was less cytotoxic at lower pH (1 and 3), and the toxicity increased with increasing doping concentration. Increasing pH and doping concentration both enhanced the antibacterial and cytotoxic activities, making the material suitable for antimicrobial coatings, packaging, and textiles, with potential for pesticide or anticancer applications pending further evaluation.
