Abstract

Green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles has gained prominence in recent years, resulting from the absence of toxic chemicals, low energy requirement, and eco-friendliness. This paper reports the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using plant extract as a reducing agent. The ZnO-NPs were synthesized using Corchorus olitorius leaf extract and zinc acetate dihydrate, Zn (CH3COO)2.2H2O as precursor. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were characterized by the application of UVVis spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). UV-vis indicated the reduction of zinc acetate dihydrate into ZnO-NPs by the leave extract. XRD and TEM revealed that the average size of the synthesized ZnO-NPs was 22 nm. The XRD pattern showed the hexagonal wurtzite crystalline nature of the synthesized ZnO-NPs. The elemental composition obtained from EDX showed that the synthesized ZnO-NPs are primarily composed of three elements: Zn (75.20 %), O (20.48.7%), and C (4.32). Examination of stretching and bonding in the ZnO-NPs using FT-IR revealed the presence of Zn-O bonding at 430.37403.93 cm-1.
