Prunus dulcis-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, and an evaluation of their biocidal properties

Saee Gharpure,

et al.

Abstract: Use of plant extracts for synthesizing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles is gaining importance due to their easy, eco-friendly, cost effective and non-toxic nature. In this study, an economical biosynthetic approach of ZnO formation was delineated where aqueous extract of Prunus dulcis (almond) leaves has been used as reducing/capping agent followed by their characterization studies. The present study has successfully synthesized pure, highly crystalline in nature, predominantly spherical ZnO nanoparticles with… Show more

“…Specifically, the FTIR spectrum of ZnO NPs recorded in the 4000-400 cm −1 range was utilized to assess the purity and composition of biosynthetically produced ZnO NPs. The absence of distinct peaks in this range indicated the high purity of the green-synthesized ZnO NPs [80]. Remarkably, the absence of broad peaks at 602 and 830 cm −1 in the produced NPs further validated their purity [81].…”
