Abstract 

In situ mixed tri-metallic metal oxides of strontium, manganese, and copper are synthesized using (Carica papaya) commonly known as papaya fruit extract via co-precipitation method. The oxides synthesized were characterized using SEM, EDS, XRD, and TEM microscopy. All the images and the data are in agreement with the presence of triple metal oxides with high purity. A shift in the major peak is observed in XRD data. The particles were spherical with bulky nature. The composition of the particles is confirmed from EDS spectra, and the synthesized particles (in hydroxide form) were tested against two gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Mammaliicocus sciuri. The materials showed potent bactericidal activity against both the samples. The probable mechanistic approach has been included to explain the bactericidal efficacy of the synthesized material. The present research paper consists of the green synthesis of triple mixed metal oxides with the potent antimicrobial efficacy of the mixed metal in hydroxide form. The mechanistic approach provides the key evidence of the bactericidal activity using triple metal nano-hydroxides.
