Green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles by Myrtus communis plant extract with investigation of effect of precursor, calcination temperature and study of photocatalytic performance

Antifungal Activity of ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized from Eichhornia crassipes Extract for Construction Applications

“…In contrast, for ZnO-100 ( Figure 4 c), larger agglomerates composed of smaller particles (20–40 nm) were detected. The presence and content of the E. crassipes extract did not exert a significant effect on the shape of the particles, as similar morphologies have been reported for ZnO when zinc nitrate is used in combination with other plant extracts [ 32 , 33 ]. It is important to note that nanoparticles exhibit different behaviors depending on the media in which they are applied.…”

Investigation of physicochemical characteristics of Dy3+ modified ZnO nanoparticles

“…These results were matched with JCPDS card no. #36-1451 [26]. The structural parameters, including lattice constants, atomic positions, cell volume, and statistical parameters, were evaluated using the Rietveld refinement technique and are presented in table 1.…”

Biosynthesis and antibacterial activity of ZnO nanoparticles using Buchanania obovata fruit extract and the eutectic-based ionic liquid

“…Nanotechnology has rapidly propelled the production of materials at the nanoscale, notably in interdisciplinary domains like the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles [1]. Zinc oxide (ZnO) stands as a remarkable molecule with potential applications spanning antimicrobial [2,3], UV protection [4], sensors [5], photocatalytic [6], optics [7], drug delivery [8], cancer therapy [9], water purification [10], food packaging [11], medicine [12], agriculture [13], solar cells [14], dielectric [15] and electronics [16]. Its direct band gaps, high absorption coefficients, exceptional transportation mobility, safe doping environment, and versatility in particle forms such as particles, nanorods, and various geometries add to its allure [17].…”
