The present study reports an eco-friendly synthesis of chitosan/zinc oxide (CS/ZnO) nanocomposite using S. lycopersicum leaf extract by a bio-inspired method. The synthesized CS/ZnO nanocomposite was characterized by using UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The XRD analysis revealed wurtzite crystalline structure of CS/ZnO nanocomposite. Electron microscopy images showed agglomeration of CS/ZnO nanocomposite having spherical shaped structure with an average size of 21-47 nm. The observed bands around 400-500 cm(-1) in the IR spectrum indicated the presence of metal-oxygen bond, whereas bands at 1512 and 1745 cm(-1) indicated the presence of amine groups (-NH2) which confirms the presence of CS in the CS/ZnO nanocomposite. The synthesized nanocomposite showed potential antibacterial activity against skin infection causing S. aureus and themechanism of bactericidal activity was confirmed by using FE-SEM. The CS/ZnO nanocomposite incorporated cotton fabrics also exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis and E. coli. Furthermore, CS/ZnO nanocomposite acted as photocatalyst for the degradation of Congo red under sunlight irradiation. In conclusion, as-synthesized CS/ZnO nanocomposite can be used as bactericidal agent in textile industries and also as photocatalyst for dye degradation. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
