Enhanced structural, optical and antibacterial activities of Zn_2SnO_4 nanorods synthesized by Microwave assisted method

In this research, Zn_2SnO_4 nanorods were prepared and structural properties of the nanorods were characterized, developing of widerange of the optical behavior of Zn_2SnO_4 nanorods and the antibacterial activity was also investigated using a microwaveassisted method. A zinc stannate (Zn_2SnO_4) nanorod was synthesized via facile microwaveassisted method using ammonia with cubic spinel structure. The crystallography and optical properties were studied using Xray diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The morphology of the nanoparticles was observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy. The antibacterial effect of Zn_2SnO_4 nanoparticles tested against Grampositive and Gramnegative pathogenic bacteria was investigated. The Zn_2SnO_4 nanorods showed the excellent antibacterial activity, the inhibition zone indicates the biocidal action of Zn_2SnO_4 nanorods. Here, we concluded that these materials were used as a bactericidal agent to prevent and control the spread and persistence of infectious diseases.
