In this study, Nickel ferrite (NiFe?O?) and sodium alginate functionalized NiFe?O? nanocomposites (NiFe?O?-SA) were synthesized via a green co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction confirmed a cubic spinel structure, and transmission electron microscopy revealed quasi-spherical nanoparticles with sizes of 1525nm and uniform alginate coating. UVVis analysis showed a reduction in band gap from 4.44eV to 3.13eV, while photoluminescence spectra indicated enhanced charge carrier separation. NiFe?O?-SA exhibited strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative pathogens (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus vulgaris), with membrane disruption confirmed by microscopy. Cytotoxicity studies on MCF-7 breast cancer cells demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition with an IC?? of 11.9?g/mL, and zebrafish embryo assays confirmed excellent biocompatibility for NiFe?O?-SA. These findings highlight NiFe?O?-SA nanocomposites as promising multifunctional nanomaterials for therapeutic and biomedical applications. 2026 Elsevier B.V.
