Structural analyses via FTIR spectroscopy revealed functional groups characteristic of the tartaric acid coating on NiTiO?-T NPs, while XRD confirmed the crystalline hexagonal phase for both NiTiO? and NiTiO?-T NPs. FESEM images demonstrated that both types of NPs exhibited uniform, spherical morphologies. Biomedical evaluations highlighted the enhanced efficacy of NiTiO?-T NPs, which achieved 85.2 % DPPH radical scavenging at 100 ?g/mL, significantly outperforming uncoated NiTiO? NPs (72.4 %). Antimicrobial testing against various pathogens showed that NiTiO?-T NPs generated larger inhibition zones compared to their counterparts, effectively targeting Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, B. subtilis), Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, P. aeruginosa), and fungi (C. albicans). Further analysis revealed notably lower minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs: 1000 ?g/mL) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs: 1500 ?g/mL) for NiTiO?-T NPs, confirming their potent bactericidal action. These findings position tartaric acid-functionalized NiTiO?-T NPs as promising candidates for dual-functional therapeutic applications. 2025 Subject The topic of the resource Antibacterial activity; DPPH; NiTiO₃-T NPs; Tagetes erecta Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier B.V.
