Research in the utilization of organic natural materials for electronic devices and for the biological application becoming extensively studied. We report a comprehensive review of the role of SnO2 nanoparticle and the effect of light intensity on toxicity properties, antibacterial activity, microstructure and electrical properties of PVA-PEG nanofiber films. The PVA-PEG/SnO2 nanofiber structure has been successfully fabricated on the ITO-glass substrate. Characterization was performed on samples using FTIR, XRD, SEM, toxicity and antibacterial tests, as well as LCR measurement. The presence of various light intensities has also measured the dielectric constant. The addition of SnO2 nanoparticle influenced the structure of the PVA-PEG/SnO2 nanofiber bonding functional group indicated by the appearance of Sn-O-Sn peaks at 648.08 cm-1 and 958 cm-1 wavenumbers. The addition of SnO2 nanoparticles affects the grain size of SnO2. Addition of SnO2 nanoparticles increases the detected toxicity voltage but is still below the threshold. It means the compound is not toxic, or safe to use in the body. The film lacks the antibacterial power of S. Aurelius. The addition of nanoparticles SnO2 increases the dielectric constant but decreases with increasing frequency of input voltage and the intensity of light employed to PVA-PEG/SnO2 nanofiber. The application of the light intensity reduces the dielectric constant of the PVA-PEG/SnO2 nanofiber in all nanoparticle doping ranges. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
