摘要

This study presents the synthesis, characterization, and multifunctional evaluation of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles doped with zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co), and codoped with both (Zn,Co) using a co-precipitation method. Structural and morphological characterizations were conducted using XRD, FTIR, SEM, UV-Vis DRS, and EDX analysis, confirming the successful doping and formation of monoclinic CuO nanostructures. Antibacterial assays revealed enhanced activity for (Zn,Co)-CuO nanoparticles, with IC₅₀ values as low as 0.45 mg/mL against Klebsiella pneumoniae, indicating superior efficacy due to synergistic metal ion incorporation. DPPH scavenging and albumin denaturation assays demonstrated potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with (Zn,Co)-CuO outperforming even standard references. Furthermore, (Zn,Co)-CuO exhibited the highest insecticidal activity (97.75% inhibition) and minimal phytotoxicity, making it a promising biocompatible agent. Photocatalytic degradation studies confirmed the superior efficiency of (Zn,Co)-CuO (91% Eriochrome black T degradation, k = 0.030 min−1), attributed to enhanced charge separation and active surface sites. These results collectively highlight the multifunctional potential of (Zn,Co)-CuO nanoparticles in biomedical, agricultural, and environmental applications.
