Abstract

This study investigated the optical properties of Ce-doped ZnO nanoparticles (Ce/ZnO), synthesized using Pandanus ammaryllifolius leaf extract via a green biosynthesis method. Ce doping concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 3% were applied, and the nanoparticles were annealed at 400 °C for two hours. UV-Vis analysis showed a redshift in the annealed samples, with the wavelength increasing from 368 nm to 370 nm, likely due to particle growth after thermal treatment. In contrast, the unannealed samples exhibited a blueshift, with the maximum absorbance wavelength decreasing from 361 nm to 356 nm. The absorbance values were higher in the annealed samples than in the unannealed ones. The band gap energy of doped ZnO samples decreased slightly after annealing, from 3.20–3.22 eV to 3.15–3.19 eV, indicating improved optical properties. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of Ce–O bonds and functional groups, such as O–H and C–H, with sharper peaks in the annealed samples. The novelty of this study lies in utilizing Pandanus ammaryllifolius leaf extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical synthesis methods. The findings suggest that Ce doping enhances the optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles, making them suitable for specific applications in environmental remediation, such as the degradation of organic pollutants, and in technological fields like photocatalytic devices and UV-absorbing materials.

Abstract

In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles were synthesized using Annona muricata leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent with variations in the molar ratio of 1:3, 1:5, and 1:7. Optical characterization using UV-Visible spectroscopy revealed that the variations of molar ratio influence the absorption peak and band gap energy of the resulting ZnO and Ag. UV-Vis results show that the molar ratio 1:5 was optimal for synthesizing ZnO and Ag. The band gap value of synthesized ZnO and Ag at a 1:5 molar ratio was 3.27 eV and 2.01 eV, with absorption peaks at 355 nm and 435 nm respectively. XRD characterization shows that ZnO nanoparticles has a hexagonal wurtzite structure with lattice parameters of a = 76 Å and c = 4. 95 Å and for Ag nanoparticles has a face centered cubic structure with lattice parameters a = b = c is 4.15 Å. Annona muricata leaves extract shows photocatalytic properties that can be applied to the degradation of polluted water. This shows that ZnO nanoparticles via green synthesis using Annona muricata leaf extract is a very simple, low-cost and environmentally friendly method.
