SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ZnO NANOPARTICLE

Abstract

In the current study, species called nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs) produced using aqueous fruit extracts..Different methods, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffract (XRD) spectra, ultraviolet (UV) spectrometry, SEM and scanning electron microscopy were employed for analysis. the ZnO-NPs (SEM.)The synthesized NPs' spherical or circular shape was confirmed by SEM and TEM studies of the crystallites, which the average diameter of which was 50 nm, and extremely pure. FTIR research verified the functional groups in charge of stabilizing and capping ZnO-NPs. We investigated the potential antibacterial, effects of synthesized NPs. Both when used alone and when coated with antibiotics, the NPs were discovered to be quite effective against bacterial strains. It was discovered that the biologically synthesized NPs were good antioxidant and biodegradable nanoparticles. ZnO-NPs produced from fruit peels can be used as potential candidates for biological and environmental applications because of their environmentally friendly production, nontoxicity, and biocompatibility.
