Abstract:The present study uses a bio-waste i.e., skin of Allium cepa, for green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles A.Cepa-ZnONP were tested for their photo catalytic degradation e cacy towards harmful dyes. Additionally, the anti-bacterial properties of A.Cepa-ZnONP were evaluated against four organisms, namely Escherichia coli (EC), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), Bacillus cereus (BC), and Staphylococcus aureus (SA). The synthesized A.Cepa-ZnONP was characterized with scanning electron microscopy-e… Show more
