Abstract

A hydrothermally synthesized CeCuO₃ perovskite nanomaterial has been used as a disinfectant against microorganisms causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). The synthesized CeCuO₃ nanoparticles have been characterized by using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques for the determination of the complete structure, morphology, and elemental compositions. The obtained in vitro disinfectant results show promising activity toward urinary tract infection microorganisms.
