Facile biosynthesis of Ag–ZnO nanocomposites using Launaea cornuta leaf extract and their antimicrobial activity
Makauki, Elizabeth; Mtavangu, Stanslaus; Basu, Onita; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Machunda, Revocatus (Springer Nature, 2023-11-17)The quest to synthesize safe, non-hazardous Ag–ZnO nanoomposites (NCs) with improved physical and chemical properties has necessitated green synthesis approaches. In this research, Launaea cornuta leaf extract was proposed ... -
Launaea cornuta (wild lettuce) leaf extract: phytochemical analysis and synthesis of silver-zinc oxide nanocomposite
Makauki, Elizabeth; Rwiza, Mwemezi; Basu, Onita (IOP Science, 2024-10-11)Access to quality drinking water is an essential human right and a fundamental aspect of human dignity, yet a challenge to many in developing countries. Over 2 billion people worldwide lack access to quality drinking water ... -
Synergistic antimicrobial mechanisms of silver-doped zinc oxide for water treatment: a systematic review
Makauki, Elizabeth; Machunda, Revocatus; Basu, Onita; Rwiza, Mwemezi (IWA Publishing, 2025-03-10)This systematic review provides an overview of the existing research on antimicrobial mechanisms of silver-doped zinc oxide nanocomposites (Ag/ZnO NCs). It reports the existing knowledge on the synergistic effect (relationship) ...
