New synthetic silver-doped ZnO nanorods trigger cytotoxicity in MCF-7 through apoptosis and antimicrobial activity.

The structural, composition, and molecular interaction of silver integrated zinc oxide (20 wt.% Ag/ZnO) were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectrum. The XRD analysis showed the polycrystalline of small crystallite size, whereas the EDX spectrum confirmed the purity of the nanocomposite.
