Keywords: Caulerpa scalpelliformis algae extract, Green synthesis, ZrO2 NPs, X-ray diffraction, TEM, antibacterial applications.

Zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) were successfully made in this study using a green synthesis approach by combining Caulerpa scalpelliformis algae extract with zirconium nitrate salt (ZrO (NO3)2 H2O) at 250 °C for two hours. ZrO (NO3)2 H2O is changed into Biomolecules found inside the extract, such as ZrO2 NPs, are crucial. By using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) composition analysis, and an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, the generated ZrO2 NPs were examined. The generated ZrO2 NPs are polycrystalline with mixed-phase systems (tetragonal and monoclinic), with a crystallite size of around 5 nm, according to X-ray diffraction data of the nanoparticles. The FTIR spectra, which showed monoclinic and tetragonal phase, supported the XRD findings. The synthetic approach was shown to be very cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally benign. ZrO2 nanoparticles made from biomaterials were used as antibacterial and antifungal agents. Using the well diffusion method, the antibacterial research of ZrO2 NPs was conducted against various bacterial and fungi species. The results of the experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of the synthesis process and the appropriate use of ZrO2 NPs as potent antibacterial and antifungal agents.
