Photocatalytic activity of biogenic zinc oxide nanoparticles: In vitro antimicrobial, biocompatibility, and molecular docking studies

The biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with pinecone extract (PCE) as a reducing agent and antibacterial agent was explored. The current study aims to investigate the biosynthesis of ZnO NPs and their effect on photocatalytic dye degradation and antimicrobial properties. The ph...
