A simple and one-pot glycothermal method was developed for the synthesis of Ni/ZnO nanocomposites. Ethylene glycol, zinc and nickel complexes were utilized as a solvent and new precursors to prepare Ni/ZnO nanocomposites, respectively. The effect of different reaction time and temperature were examined in order to approach to the optimal sample. The Ni/ZnO nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Vibrating sample magnetometer analysis was exhibited the ferromagnetic behavior of the nanocomposites, which is appropriate for nanoparticle recovery. The antibacterial effect of the selected sample was investigated by monitoring the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans, where, after 24 h, the diameter of the zone of inhibition was obtained to be around 15, 14 and 9 mm at 37 degrees C, respectively. Interestingly, the diameter of the inhibition zone for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa was remarkably comparable to conventional antibiotics. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
