Biogenic synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Monsonia burkeana for use in photocatalytic, antibacterial and anticancer applications

Biosynthesis and characterization of magnesium oxide and manganese dioxide nanoparticles using Matricaria chamomilla L. extract and its inhibitory effect on Acidovorax oryzae strain RS-2

“…The C-H bond is as a result of the glycosides/carbohydrates. Previous studies mentioned that the presence of these functional groups is due to the compounds present in the plant extract which enhance the biological properties of metal oxides derived from plant extracts [37]. Figure 4 shows the TEM micrographs obtained from the green synthesized MnO 2 and MgO nanoparticles.…”

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using different plant extracts and their antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

“…Among these biosynthesized metal oxide, zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using leaf extract of aloe barbadensis, Abutilon indicum, Melia azedarach, Indigofera tinctoria, bacterial and fungus [19][20][21][22]. Recently, zinc oxide nanoparticles have been green synthesized using: seed extracts of Nigella sativa [23], leaf extract of Psidium gujava [24], extract of Daucus carota [25], plant extract of Monsonia burkeana [26], leaf extract of Mangifera indica [27], Aspergillus terreus [28] and Halomonas elongate [29]. The antibacterial efficiency of zinc oxide nanoparticles is directly related to its size, shape, surface to volume ratio and number of oxygen vacancy sites [30,31] Although biosynthesis of zinc oxide has been reported, the potential of plant extracts as biological materials for the synthesis of nanoparticles is yet to be fully explored.…”

Musa acuminata peel extract mediated eco-friendly synthesis of solar light-active ZnO nanosponge for enhanced dyeing wastewater degradation

“…Due to •OH radicals being strong oxidizing agents, the dyes can be decomposed into simple species such as CO2 and H2O through continuous generated active radicals. The photocatalytic mechanism can be described as follows [25][26][27]:…”
