Green synthesis of multifunctional zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using Cassia fistula plant extract and their photodegradative, antioxidant and antibacterial activities

Phytoextract-mediated synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using aqueous leaves extract of Ipomoea pes-caprae (L).R.br revealing its biological properties and photocatalytic activity

“…The cytotoxic effects of silver and ZnO NPs resulted due to the active phytochemicals (functional groups) interaction of metal atoms with intracellular proteins, as well as the nitrogen bases in DNA [54]. Recently, reports show that the IC 50 value of ZnO NPs was 62.5 lg/ mL against Vero cell lines [55,56]. In contrast, the synthesized ZnO NPs showed higher rates of cytotoxicity against Vero cells at 50.04 (lg/mL).…”

Garcinia xanthochymus mediated green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles: Photoluminescence, photocatalytic and antioxidant activity studies

“…A reaction mixture comprising catalytic load of 50 mg Nps in 100 ml of 5 ppm dye was prepared [25]. It was placed in the reactor, stirred magnetically and exposed to sun light/UV-light.…”

Facile Green Synthetic Route to the Zinc Oxide (ZnONPs) Nanoparticles: Effect on Green Peach Aphid and Antibacterial Activity

“…Recently, plant extracts have been suggested as possible eco-friendly, alternative to chemicals in synthesis of nanoparticles. Different plants extracts have been reported in the open literature for green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles, such as Olea europea (Awwad et al, 2014), Eichhornia crassipes leaf (Vanathi et al, 2014), Aloe barbadensis Miller leaf (Sangeetha et al, 2011), Hibiscus subdariffa leaf (Bala et al, 2015), Solanum nigrum leaf (Ramesh et al, 2015), Camelia sinesis leaf (Shah et al, 2015), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Devi & Gayathri, 2014), Cassia fistula plant extract (Suresh et al, 2015), Ocimum tenuiflorum leaves (Raut et al, 2015), Trifoliumpratense flower extract (Dobrucka & Dugaszewska, 2016), Mimosa Pudica leaves and coffee powder (Fatimah et al, 2016), Rambutan peel extract (Karnan & Selvakumar, 2016) Jacaranda mimosifolia flowers , Terminalia chebula fruits (Rana et al, 2016) and Azadirachia indica (Madan et al, 2016).…”
