Synthesis and Characterization of Pure and Capped Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles using Pesidium Gujava Leaf Extract

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a promising concept in the field of science and technology. In this present work, the ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized with and without Pesidium guajava leaf extract by using the Microwave irradiation method. The formation of zinc oxide nano particles has been characterized by various techniques like XRD, EDS, FTIR, and SEM. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) spectra reveal the crystalline size of the sample. The qualitative and quantitative components of the ZnO-nanoparticles analyzed using Energy-dispersive X-Ray microscopy (EDS). The functional groups of the ZnO nanoparticles were investigated through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface morphological structure of zinc oxide nanoparticles were obtained in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The Zinc oxide nanoparticles are mostly found and applied in field of medical science and anti-bacterial activities.
