Abstract

order model, indicating chemisorption-driven uptake. Furthermore, the material demonstrated strong broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with inhibition zones of 9-18 mm and >99% reduction in viable cell counts, making the NCs a promising and environmentally sustainable platform for integrated water remediation and antimicrobial applications.
