One step facile synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial properties of Mg-doped CuO nanostructures

Here we report a simple method for the synthesis of Mg-doped CuO nanostructures as it possesses high dielectric and antimicrobial properties. The morphology of the prepared nanostructures was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirming the successful synthesis of Mg-doped CuO nanorods and nanosheets. The structural, vibrational and band gap were explored by x-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy respectively. It is observed that the dielectric properties of this structure demonstrate an explicit correlation between permittivity and doping concentration viz. permittivity increases with doping concentration. In addition, anti-microbial and anti-cancer applications are thoroughly investigated by utilizing gram positive and gram negative bacteria respectively. The pure and Mg doped CuO nanostructures have been observed and established potentially to remove breast cancer cells and unhazardous towards human flourishing cells. In addition, the doped nanostructures for anti-cancer and antibacterial activity possess a strong antimicrobial activity for various bacterial strains. Thus, such fabrications provide us with a potential remedy for breast cancer as an alternative to the standard methods.
