Currently, the drugs employed to treat superficial fungal infections are encountering challenges, particularly the rise of drug resistance. Numerous studies have suggested that zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) show promise in the realm of antifungal treatment. Green synthesis makes the preparation of ZnO NPs more environmentally friendly and economical. In order to prepare antifungal active nanoparticles with low economic cost and stable performance, zinc oxide nanoparticles (CM-ZnONPs) were synthesized for the first time in this study using zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO
