Multifunctional NaNbO3: Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue and Intrinsic Antimicrobial Activity against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans

Abstract In this paper, sodium niobate (NaNbO3) was synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at 150 °C for 70 min, followed by calcination at 550 °C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction revealed the coexistence of orthorhombic P21ma and Pbma phases, while scanning electron...
