dc.description.abstract	The binary systems of Ag3PO4/ZnO anddoped Ag - Ag3PO4/ZnOnanocomposites were synthesized by a co-precipitation method using aqueous solutions of zinc chloride ( ZnCl2) ,silver nitrate (AgNO3)and dipotassiumhydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4)as precursors or starting materials.The crystal structures, crystallite sizes, morphology, and compositions of the composites were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy DespersiveX-ray (EDX) spectroscopic techniques.In this work,theantimicrobial activity was evaluated considering Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillusniger. Based on the results obtained, it can be stated that these materials could be effective biocides especially towards bacteria when prepared at smaller size.	en_US
