Evaluation of Homogeneous NiO Particles on ZnO Heterojunction: Insights into Its Properties for Antifungal Applications

In this study, homogeneous NiO particles on ZnO heterojunction were incorporated with the objective of scrutinizing its probable applications in antifungal processes. Advanced instruments were engrossed to determine the phase identification, elemental composition, and particle discrepancy of the synthesized material. The electrochemical impedance response was pondered using Nyquist diagrams to accredit an equivalent circuit and extract fundamental circuit parameters. The Z ″ versus Z ′ plot plugged a semicircular shape, broaching the presence of heterogeneous or broad relaxation processes. The antifungal efficacy of the homogeneous NiO on ZnO heterojunction was appraised against various fungi species, including Aspergillus Niger , Aspergillus flavus , Rhizopus microspores , and Pencillium sp., at a concentration of 20 µl. These results accentuated the versatile applicability of the studied material.
