Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Pisonia Alba leaf extract and its antibacterial activity

The reducing and capping agent of Pisonia Alba leaf extract were used in a green production of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. UV–Vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy with EDS (SEM) were all used to examine the produced ZnO nanoparticles. UV–Vis spectroscopy verified the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles and their resulting optical characteristics. The UV–Vis spectra showed that the ZnO nanoparticles formed at an absorption peak maximum of 378 nm. Bandgap of the ZnO nanoparticles was also examining. The relevance of Pisonia Alba leaf extract's phenolic chemicals, alkaloids, terpenoids, and proteins in the nucleation and stability of ZnO…
