Abstract
. Additionally, the mode of action study revealed that the antimicrobial performance is primarily attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the disruption of the microbial cell membrane. These dual-functional ZC NCs demonstrate significant potential in healthcare applications, providing a cost-effective and scalable solution for developing advanced antibacterial and antifungal agents.
