The manufactured CNS with a particle size range of 4050 nm that is obtained show a porous nature and contain more than 87% carbon. The synthesized CNS are used as potential antibacterial agents against E. coli and S. aureus by microscopic analysis. By observing the distorted cell envelopes of both E. coli and S. aureus compared with those of untreated cells, it is well understood that CNS, by binding to the outer envelope of cells, renders some changes in the peptidoglycan layer of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes, which in turn restricts their further growth. This study confirms the first report of use of CNS as an effective antibacterial agent. 2025 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
