Dye degradation and antimicrobial efficacy of cesium-doped Y₂O₃ nanostructures: in silico docking study.

ABSTRACT: Developing multifunctional nanomaterials is crucial to rising global concerns over environmental contamination caused by dye effluents and antibiotic resistance. This work presents cesium (Cs)-doped Y₂O₃ nanostructures (NSs) as viable options for catalytic dye degradation and antibacterial action. This study prepared yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) and various (2, 4, and 6 wt%) concentrations of Cs-doped Y₂O₃ NSs via co-precipitation technique. The pure and Cs-doped Y₂O₃ NSs were used to degrade methylene blue (MB) at different pH levels and assess the antibacterial properties against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli (E. coli). The X-ray diffraction spectra of the pure and Cs-doped Y
