In this study, CuO-decorated ZnO (ZC) heterojunction nanocomposite was successfully green synthesized as a light-enhanced antibacterial material using Muntingia calabura leaf extract. Resultantly, it showed the formation of rice grain-shaped particles with 100 − 250 nm in length and 50 − 100 nm in w...
