Green fabrication of zinc oxide nanoparticles by Anagallis arvensis ethanolic extract and their antibacterial properties

Abstract

Green approach of zinc oxide nanoparticle fabrication is a reliable reaction that has compatibility with many biological properties. In the present study the approach of zinc oxide nanoparticle has been synthesized by A. arvensis aerial part using ethanol extract. The morphological, compositional and structural properties have been investigated by SEM, XRD, and FTIR studies. XRD technique demonstrated the crystallite size of 17nm with the help of Debye-Scherrer's equation which was obtained in nanorange. SEM technique demonstrated their microscopic agglomerated crystal image of green synthesizes metal in zinc oxide nanoparticle. FTIR technique represents the different types of biomolecules i.e. phenol, alkynes etc. that are responsible for good nanoparticle fabrication. These biomolecules work as encapsulation and stabilization agents for nanoparticle fabrication. These all properties of nanoparticle fabrication have been responsible for the antimicrobial activity.
