Phytochemical Profiling, Molecular Docking, ADMET Analysis of <i>Zingiber Officinale</i> Peel Extract for the Biogenic Synthesis of ZnO and Fe-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles with Antibacterial and Photocatalytic Potential.

ABSTRACT: Industrial dye effluents are the predominant source of water pollution, while the increasing prevalence of bacterial infections poses a serious public health threat. Nanoparticles offer promising avenues for addressing these challenges. Therefore, this study sought to synthesize ZnO (ZNP) and Fe-doped ZnO (F-ZNP) nanoparticles using Zingiber officinale peel extract and investigate their antimicrobial and photocatalytic potential, along with molecular insights into the antibacterial activity of phytochemicals through in silico studies. Phytochemical profiling of the Z. officinale peel extract was performed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The physicochemical characteristics of the biogenic ZNP and F-ZNP were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning e
