Biogenic synthesis of Ag–ZnO nanocomposites via sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) extract for synergistic photocatalytic degradation of Congo red and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
In this study, Ag ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by a plant mediated synthesis using an aqueous extract of Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) seeds. The extract served as a source of phytochemical functional groups involved in metal ion complexation, reduction, and surface stabilization. The resulting material was characterize...
