Green Syntheses of CdO NPs and evaluation of their antimicrobial activities

Abstract

The aim of this study is to look into the influence of CdO NPs on antimicrobial activity. Green synthesis has been used to produce CdO nanoparticles from cadmium acetate and the Crocus plant in this study. The properties of the synthesized nanoparticles of CdO thin materials were studied (optic, structural, and topographical of surface), it found that the CdO thin film is poly-crystalline and has multiple peaks. The size of crystallite of film calculated by the Scherrer's formula. The disk method used to test antimicrobial activity against two bacteria; the observed areas of inhibition confirm that the as-synthesized CdO NPs act as an important antimicrobial agent against pathogenic microorganisms.
