Nanocrystalline SnO₂ and CuO doped with SnO₂ were prepared by the co-precipitation method and characterized for different physiochemical properties and microbiological activity. The composition and morphological formation were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, Raman, FTIR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The Powder X-ray analysis reveals that Sn4+ ions have substituted the Cu²⁺ ions without changing the monoclinic structure of SnO₂ but the average particle size of the SnO₂ and CuO doped SnO₂ samples from 11 and 5 nm respectively. However, it exhibits an inhibiting strong bacterial growth against tested bacterial strains.
