Abstract
This study introduces a novel Metronidazole-Based ZnMoO₄ Nanocomposite (MTZ-ZnMO4), a hybrid material combining ZnMoO₄ and metronidazole (MTZ) that exhibits significant potential for photocatalytic and antifungal applications. The nanocomposite was synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method and characterized using various analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Photo-luminance emission spectra (PL) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of the nanocomposite was evaluated through the degradation of methylene blue (MB) visible light irradiation. Additionally, its antifungal properties were assessed against common fungi Aspergillus niger. Results demonstrated incorporation of MTZ resulted in enhanced photocatalytic degradation of MB under visible light irradiation and concentration dependent antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger. These findings highlight the material’s multifunctional potential for use in environmental remediation and catalytic applications, offering a promising approach to integrating photocatalytic and antifungul properties in a single nanocomposite.
