Abstract
Candida albicans is one of the most dangerous pathogenic fungi in the world, according to the classification of the World Health Organization, due to the continued development of its resistance to currently available anticandidal agents. To overcome this problem, the current work provided a simple, one-step, cost-effective, and safe technique for the biosynthesis of new functionalized anticandidal selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) against C. albicans ATCC10231 using the cell-free supernatant of Limosilactobacillus fermentum (OR553490) strain. The bacterial strain was isolated from yogurt samples available in supermarkets, in Damietta, Egypt. The mixing ratio of 1:9 v/v% between cell-free bacterial metabolites and sodium selenite (5 mM) for 72 h at 37 °C were the optimum conditions for Se NPs biosynthesis. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta analyses, and elemental analysis system (EDS) were used to evaluate the optimized Se NPs. The Se NPs absorption peak appeared at 254 nm. Physicochemical analysis of Se NPs revealed the crystalline-shaped and well-dispersed formation of NPs with an average particle size of 17-30 nm. Se NPs have - 11.8 mV, as seen by the zeta potential graph. FT-IR spectrum displayed bands of symmetric and asymmetric amines at 3279.36 cm-1 and 2928.38 cm-1, aromatic and aliphatic (C-N) at 1393.32 cm-1 and 1237.11.37 cm-1 confirming the presence of proteins as stabilizing and capping agents. Se NPs acted as a superior inhibitor of C. albicans with an inhibition zone of 26 ± 0.03 mm and MIC value of 15 µg/mL compared to one of the traditional anticandidal agent, miconazole, which revealed 18 ± 0.14 mm and 75 µg/mL. The cytotoxicity test shows that Se NPs have a low toxic effect on the normal keratinocyte (IC50 ≈ 41.5 μg/mL). The results indicate that this green synthesis of Se NPs may have a promising potential to provide a new strategy for drug therapy.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-33196-y.

Abstract
The escalating demand for the antibiotic drug tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) contributes to an increased release of its residues into land and water bodies, which poses risks to both aquatic life and human health. Therefore, it is precedence to effectively degrade TCH residues to protect environment from their long-term impacts. In this aspect, the present study entails the synthesis of zirconia (ZrO2) nanostructures and focuses on the enhancement in the catalytic performance of ZrO2 nanostructures by employing reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a solid support to synthesize ZrO2-enriched RGO-based photocatalysts (ZrO2-RGO) for the degradation of TCH. The study delves into comprehensive spectroscopic and microscopic investigations and their photodegradation assessments. Powder XRD and HR-TEM studies depicted the phase crystallinity and also displayed uniform distribution of ZrO2 nanostructures with spherical morphology within ZrO2-RGO. This corresponds to high surface-to-volume ratios, providing a substantial number of active sites for light absorption and generation of e--h+ pairs. Moreover, the heterojunctions created between RGO and ZrO2 nanostructures promoted the interspecies electron transfer which prolonged the recombination time of e- and h+ than pure ZrO2 nanostructures, accounted for enhanced degradation of TCH using ZrO2-RGO. The photocatalytic activity of as-synthesized materials were examined under visible and UV light irradiation. The degradation efficiency of ~ 73.82% was achieved using ZrO2-RGO-based photocatalyst with rate constant k = 0.007023 min-1 under visible-light illumination. Moreover, under UV-light, the degradation rate was explicated to be k = 0.01017 min-1 with ~ 85.56% degradation of TCH antibiotics within 180 mins. Hence, the synthesized ZrO2-enriched RGO-based photocatalysts represents a promising potential for the effective degradation of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly TCH under visible and UV-light irradiation.

Abstract
Carissa carandas, a traditional medicinal herb with a high concentration of antioxidant phytochemicals, has been used for thousands of years in the Ayurveda, Unani, and homoeopathic schools of medicine. By employing Carissa carandas bark extract as a reducing and capping agent in green biosynthesis, we extend this conventional application to produce CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4@Ag nanocomposite. A variety of techniques have been used to characterize the synthesised nanocomposite, including UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDX, and BET. The CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4@Ag nanocomposite demonstrated promising antibacterial action against human bacterial pathogens like B. subtilis and S. aureus as gram positive and P. aeruginosa and E. coli as gram negative with inhibition zones of 24.3 ± 0.57, 17.4 ± 0.75 and 20.5 ± 0.5, 19.8 ± 1.6 mm respectively, and the obtained results were superior to the nanocomposite without silver. Moreover, in-vitro cytotoxicity effects of biosynthesized CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4@Ag were performed on the human breast cancer cell MCF-7. It was found that the MCF-7 cells' 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 60 μg/mL. Additionally, biosynthesized CoFe2O4 and CoFe2O4@Ag nanocomposite was used to demonstrate the photocatalytic eradication of Rhodamine Blue (RhB). Due to the addition of Ag, which increases surface area, conductivity, and increased charge carrier separation, the CoFe2O4@Ag nanocomposite exhibits a high percentage of photocatalytic degradation of ⁓ 98% within 35 min under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of as-synthesised nanocomposite was evaluated using dye degradation-adsorption in both natural light and dark condition. Under dark conditions, it was found that 2 mg mL-1 CoFe2O4@Ag in RhB aqueous solution (5 ppm) causes dye adsorption in 30 min with an effectiveness of 72%. Consequently, it is anticipated that the CoFe2O4@Ag nanocomposite will be a promising photocatalyst and possibly a noble material for environmental remediation applications.

Abstract
Thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) doped with transition metals have recently gained significant attention due to their potential applications in a wide range of optoelectronic devices. This study focuses on ZnO thin films doped with the transition metals Co, Fe, and Zr, exploring various aspects of their structural, morphological, optical, electrical, and photoluminescence properties. The thin films were produced using RF and DC co-sputtering techniques. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that all the doped ZnO thin films exhibited a stable wurtzite crystal structure, showcasing a higher structural stability compared to the undoped ZnO, while the atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging highlighted a distinctive granular arrangement. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was employed to confirm the presence of transition metals in the thin films, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was utilized to investigate the presence of chemical bonding. The optical characterizations indicated that doping induced changes in the optical properties of the thin films. Specifically, the doped ZnO thin film's bandgap experienced a significant reduction, decreasing from 3.34 to 3.30 eV. The photoluminescence (PL) analysis revealed distinguishable emission peaks within the optical spectrum, attributed to electronic transitions occurring between different bands or between a band and an impurity. Furthermore, the introduction of these transition metals resulted in decreased resistivity and increased conductivity, indicating their positive influence on the electrical conductivity of the thin films. This suggests potential applications in solar cells and light-emitting devices.

Abstract
Due to their widespread application in water purification, there is a significant interest in synthesising nanoscale photocatalysts. Nanophotocatalysts are primarily manufactured through chemical methods, which can lead to side effects like pollution, high-energy usage, and even health issues. To address these issues, "green synthesis" was developed, which involves using plant extracts as reductants or capping agents rather than industrial chemical agents. Green fabrication has the benefits of costs less, pollution reduction, environmental protection and human health safety, compared to the traditional methods. This article summarises recent advances in the environmentally friendly synthesis of various nanophotocatalysts employed in the degradation of azo dyes. This study compiles critical findings on natural and artificial methods to achieve the goal. Green synthesis is constrained by the time and place of production and issues with low purity and poor yield, reflecting the complexity of plants' geographical and seasonal distributions and their compositions. However, green photocatalyst synthesis provides additional growth opportunities and potential uses.

Abstract
Biomedical applications of zirconia nanomaterials were limited in biological systems. In this research, 8-15 nm size zirconia nanoflakes (ZrNFs) were fabricated and their nature, morphology, and biocompatibility were evaluated. The synthesis was carried out using Enicostemma littorale plant extract as an effective reducing and capping agent. Physiochemical properties of prepared ZrNFs were characterized using diverse instrumental studies such as UV-vis spectrophotometer, Fourier-transform infrared, powder X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The XRD pattern confirmed the tetragonal phases of ZrNFs and the highest crystallite size of Zr0.02, Zr0.02, and Zr0.06 was 56, 50, and 44 nm, respectively. The morphology of samples was assessed using TEM. Electrophysiological effects of ZrNFs in the cellular interaction process were revealed by the slower rate of electron transfer results in CV demonstration. Biocompatibility of synthesized ZrNFs was studied on A431 human epidermoid carcinoma epithelial cells. The cell viability was increased with an increasing the concentration of nanoflakes up to 6.50-100 μg/mL. The cell viability and observed IC50 values (44.25, 36.49, and 39.62 μg/mL) reveals that the synthesized ZrNFs using E. littorale extract is found to be efficient toxic to A431 cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Plant mediated synthesis of metallic nanomaterials has emerged as a non-toxic and economical approach to their applications in diverse fields especially in biomedical sciences. Herein, this study first time reporting the use of Bombax ceiba flower extract for synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). Initially, SeNPs were confirmed by turning the color of reaction mixtures from light yellow to brick-red. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed spherical shaped nanoparticles with smooth surface, size ranges between 30 and 150 nm. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed 100-150 nm for the distribution of particle size. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed SeNPs crystallinity and confirmed by matching with selenium JCPD card No. 06-362. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra showed presence of pure Se peaks that corroborate the conversion of selenium ions into its elemental form by bio-reduction. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra demonstrated that involvement of -OH, C-H, C=C, and C=O functional groups for SeNPs formation. Raman Spectra peaks at 250 cm-1 represent asymmetric trigonal selenium (t-Se). Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) peaks at 296 and 306 nm which is an indication of surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Moreover, maximum antibacterial activity of SeNPs were observed against Staphylococcus aureus- a gram positive bacteria that possess zone of inhibition (ZOI) 20 mm and Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa-gram negative bacteria with ZOI 28 mm, respectively, at concentration 100 µg/ml. In addition, the surface functionalities induced through extract components adhere over Se binds with urea and give its detection up to 1mM in milk sample. Conclusively, synthesized SeNPs may function as a potential antibacterial pharmaceutical candidate.

Abstract
Zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2NPs) were green synthesized for the first time using an aqueous peppermint extract as a precipitating and capping agent. Addition of the extract to Zr4+ solution was followed by calcination of the resulting precipitate at 570 and 700 °C to form ZrO2NPs570 and ZrO2NPs700, respectively. These oxides were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and BET surface area analysis, and used as adsorbents for cobalt ions (Co2+) in water. The effects of pH, initial Co2+ concentration, ZrO2NPs mass, and contact time on adsorption efficiency were studied. Characterization results showed formation of cubic ZrO2 with average crystallite sizes (XRD data) of 6.27 and 7.26 nm for ZrO2NPs570 and ZrO2NPs700, respectively. TEM images of the two oxides exhibited nearly spherical nanoparticles and BET surface area measurements indicated the formation of mesoporous oxides having surface areas of 94.8 and 62.4 m2/g, respectively. The results of the adsorption study confirmed that the synthesized ZrO2NPs can be efficiently used for the adsorption of Co2+ from water. The uptake of Co2+ from the treated solution is favored at pH values higher than its point of zero charge (6.0). In addition, the adsorption of Co2+ by ZrO2 follows a pseudo-second order kinetics (R2 = 1.0) and can be explained by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm (R2 = 0.973).

Abstract
Zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2NPs) were prepared using the leaf extract of Muntingia calabura as a reductant. The absorption peak at 232 nm confirmed the signature peak for ZrO2NPs with band energy at 5.07 eV. The ZrO2NPs were tetragonal and highly crystalline, possessing a mean diameter of 14.83 nm as confirmed by XRD studies. The lattice constants (a = 0.362 nm and c = 0.511 nm) were consistent with the literature. Spherical nanoaggregates (29.25 nm) were seen in FESEM image and the specific signals for Zr and O were noticed in EDS image. The tetragonal phase of the ZrO2NPs were further confirmed from the XPS and Raman studies. PL spectrum had a sharp emission at 493 nm. The FTIR spectrum revealed the presence of various functional groups. ZrO2NPs were thermally stable with 5.76% total weight loss - as revealed from TGA profile. The photocatalytic breakdown of methylene blue (MB) dye under the influence of solar irradiation was performed using ZrO2NPs which exhibited 89.11% degradation within 5 h. Hence, the synthesized ZrO2NPs can be used as an alternate potential photocatalyst for the degradation of various dyes present in waste streams.

Abstract
In the last decade, the whole scientific community has witnessed great advances and progress in the various fields of nanoscience. Among the different nanomaterials, zirconia nanomaterials have found numerous applications as nanocatalysts, nanosensors, adsorbents, etc. Additionally, their exceptional biomedical applications in dentistry and drug delivery, and interesting biological properties, viz. anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activity, have further motivated the researchers to explore their physico-chemical properties using different synthetic pathways. With such an interest in zirconia-based nanomaterials, the present review focuses systematically on different synthesis approaches and their impact on the structure, size, shape, and morphology of these nanomaterials. Broadly, there are two approaches, viz., chemical synthesis which includes hydrothermal, solvothermal, sol-gel, microwave, solution combustion, and co-precipitation methods, and a greener approach which employs bacteria, fungus, and plant parts for the preparation of zirconia nanoparticles. In this review article, the aforementioned methods have been critically analyzed for obtaining specific phases and shapes. The review also incorporates a detailed survey of the applications of zirconia-based nanomaterials. Furthermore, the influence of specific phases, morphology, and the comparison with their counterpart composites for different applications have also been included. Finally, the concluding remarks, prospects and possible scope are given in the last section.

Abstract
The worldwide increase of multi-drug resistance has directed the researchers to focus on ecofriendly ways of nanoparticles synthesis with effective antivirulence properties. Here, we report the antibiofilm and quorum quenching potential of zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) synthesized from aqueous ginger extract against multi drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii. The results indicated that ZrO2 NPs were of tetragonal shape with average diameter of 16 nm. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values for A. baumannii were 15.6 µg/ml and 62.5 µg/ml respectively as revealed by broth microdilution assay. Exposure of bacterial cells to ZrO2 NPs resulted in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation which in turn led to cellular membrane disruption as observed by an increase in leakage of cellular contents such as proteins, sugars and DNA. The antibiofilm activity was evaluated by microtiter plate assay and the results revealed that the percentage inhibition of biofilm was found to be 14.3-80.6%. ZrO2 NPs also obstructed the chemical composition of biofilms matrix by reducing the proteins and carbohydrate contents. Molecular docking studies of ZrO2 NPs with four proteins (2NAZ, 4HKG, 5D6H and 5HM6) involved in biofilm formation of A. baumannii revealed the interaction of zirconium with target proteins. These findings suggested the in vitro efficacy of phytosynthesized ZrO2 NPs as antibiofilm and quorum quenching agents that can be exploited in the development of alternative therapeutic options against MDR A. baumannii.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a fast-expanding area with a wide range of applications in science, engineering, health, pharmacy, and other fields. Among many techniques that are employed toward the production of nanoparticles, synthesis using green technologies is the simplest and environment friendly. Nanoparticles produced from plant extracts have become a very popular subject of study in recent decades due to their diverse advantages such as low-cost synthesis, product stability, and ecofriendly protocols. These merits have prompted the development of nanoparticles from a variety of sources, including bacteria, fungi, algae, proteins, enzymes, etc., allowing for large-scale production with minimal contamination. However, nanoparticles obtained from plant extracts and phytochemicals exhibit greater reduction and stabilization and hence have proven the diversity of properties, like catalyst/photocatalyst, magnetic, antibacterial, cytotoxicity, circulating tumor deoxy ribo nucleic acid (CT-DNA) binding, gas sensing, etc. In the current scenario, nanoparticles can also play a critical role in cleaning wastewater and making it viable for a variety of operations. Nano-sized photocatalysts have a great scope toward the removal of large pollutants like organic dyes, heavy metals, and pesticides in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner from industrial effluents. Thus, in this review article, we discuss the synthesis of several metal nanoparticles using diverse plant extracts, as well as their characterization via techniques like UV–vis (ultraviolet–visible), XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), etc., and catalytic activity on various hazardous systems.

Abstract
Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts minimizes the usage of toxic chemicals or energy. Here, we concentrate on the green synthesis of nanoparticles using natural compounds from plant extracts and their applications in catalysis, water treatment and agriculture. Polyphenols, flavonoid, rutin, quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol, coumarin, and gallic acid in the plant extracts engage in the reduction and stabilization of green nanoparticles. Ten types of nanoparticles involving Ag, Au, Cu, Pt, CuO, ZnO, MgO, TiO2, Fe3O4, and ZrO2 with emphasis on their formation mechanism are illuminated. We find that green nanoparticles serve as excellent, and recyclable catalysts for reduction of nitrophenols and synthesis of organic compounds with high yields of 83-100% and at least 5 recycles. Many emerging pollutants such as synthetic dyes, antibiotics, heavy metal and oils are effectively mitigated (90-100%) using green nanoparticles. In agriculture, green nanoparticles efficiently immobilize toxic compounds in soil. They are also sufficient nanopesticides to kill harmful larvae, and nanoinsecticides against dangerous vectors of pathogens. As potential nanofertilizers and nanoagrochemicals, green nanoparticles will open a revolution in green agriculture for sustainable development.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles provides an excellent alternative to the chemical synthesis approach. The aim of the current study was a green and eco-friendly synthesis of zirconium nanoparticles (ZrNPs) from fruit peels of Punica granatum (Pomegranate). The synthesis of ZrNPs was confirmed using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The functional groups present on surface of ZrNPs were analyzed using FTIR. The average size of obtained ZrNPs was analyzed using SEM and DLS and it was around 20-60 nm. The antimicrobial activity of obtained ZrNPs was tested against Gram-positive strains (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative strains (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and Fungi (Aspergillus niger) by agar well diffusion method. ZrNPs showed maximum zone of inhibition against S. aureus (19 mm) and A. niger (18 mm) at the maximum concentration of 200 μg/mL. The antioxidant scavenging activity of obtained ZrNPs was analyzed using the following methods: DPPH radical scavenging activity, Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, Ferric reducing antioxidant power and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity. This the first and foremost study on ZrNPs synthesized using P. granatum fruit peel extract reporting their efficacy as antimicrobial agents against Bacteria and Fungi. Considering the tolerance of zirconium towards human body, it can also be used as antimicrobial coating material on human implants.

Abstract
Pollution and diseases such as the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) are major issues that may be solved partly by nanotechnology. Here we review the synthesis of ZrO2 nanoparticles and their nanocomposites using compounds from bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and plants. For instance, bacteria, microalgae, and fungi secret bioactive metabolites such as fucoidans, digestive enzymes, and proteins, while plant tissues are rich in reducing sugars, polyphenols, flavonoids, saponins, and amino acids. These compounds allow reducing, capping, chelating, and stabilizing during the transformation of Zr4+ into ZrO2 nanoparticles. Green ZrO2 nanoparticles display unique properties such as a nanoscale size of 5-50 nm, diverse morphologies, e.g. nanospheres, nanorods and nanochains, and wide bandgap energy of 3.7-5.5 eV. Their high stability and biocompatibility are suitable biomedical and environmental applications, such as pathogen and cancer inactivation, and pollutant removal. Emerging applications of green ZrO2-based nanocomposites include water treatment, catalytic reduction, nanoelectronic devices, and anti-biofilms.
