ZnMoO₄ nanoparticles with two different morphologies were successfully synthesized by the industrial dry method. Both nano-ZnMoO₄ belong to α crystalline phase, and the valence state of Mo was verified to be + 6. The polyhedral-shaped particles and a mixture of polyhedral and rod-shaped particles exists, respectively. The average size of ZnMoO₄ nanoparticles with polyhedral structure was 50 nm in diameter, while the diameter of the cross-section of ZnMoO₄ nanoparticles (NPs) with rod-like structure was less than 50 nm. To evaluate the antibacterial properties of two materials, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of two kinds of nano-ZnMoO₄ against staphylococcus aureus were determined using an agar medium. The results showed that the MIC and MBC values of polyhedral nano-ZnMoO₄ were 20 ppm and 40 ppm; the MIC and MBC values of rod-shaped and polyhedral hybrid nano-ZnMoO₄ were 10 ppm and 20 ppm, respectively. The antibacterial effect of both nanoparticles was better than that of conventional ZnMoO₄ with the size above 1 µm at the concentration of 200 ppm. This confirms the crystalline structure in relation to the crystal size/morphology and the concentration of powder in suspension can influence on the antibacterial efficiency. Furthermore, these two shaped nano-ZnMoO₄ samples had different atomic percentages, so different spatial hinge structures were the important reason for the unequal antibacterial performance of these shaped nano-ZnMoO₄ powder.

采用工业干法成功合成了两种不同形貌的ZnMoO _{4纳米粒子。}纳米ZnMoO ₄均属于α晶相，经证实Mo的价态为+6。分别存在多面体颗粒和多面体和棒状颗粒的混合物。_{多面体结构的ZnMoO 4}纳米粒子的平均直径为50 nm，而棒状结构的ZnMoO ₄纳米粒子(NPs)的横截面直径小于50 nm。评价两种材料的抗菌性能，两种纳米ZnMoO _{4的最低抑菌浓度（MIC）和最低杀菌浓度（MBC）}使用琼脂培养基测定对金黄色葡萄球菌的抗性。结果表明，多面体纳米ZnMoO ₄的MIC和MBC值分别为20 ppm和40 ppm；棒状和多面体杂化纳米ZnMoO ₄的MIC和MBC值分别为10 ppm和20 ppm。两种纳米粒子在200 ppm浓度下的抗菌效果均优于1 µm以上的常规ZnMoO _{4 。}这证实了与晶体尺寸/形态相关的晶体结构以及悬浮液中粉末的浓度会影响抗菌效率。此外，这两种形状的纳米ZnMoO _{4样品具有不同的原子百分比，因此不同的空间铰链结构是这些异形纳米ZnMoO 4}粉末抗菌性能不均的重要原因。
