Abstract

Green Synthesis is a chemical-free, economic, efficient, eco-friendly, and less time-consuming technique for the production of various nanoparticles. In the present study, green synthesized silver doped ZnO particles are synthesized. Silver nanoparticles are synthesized using Neem leaves and Silver salt (Silver Nitrate, AgNo3). Leaves extract act as a reducing agent for this synthesis. EDAX confirms the formation of Ag nanoparticles and ZnO particles. ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation method, zinc acetate dehydrate and sodium hydroxide was used as precursor material. The green synthesized Ag nanoparticles are doped with ZnO. The synthesized particles were then characterized through XRD and UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The values of interplanar spacing and lattice parameters obtained were consistent with its standard values. The band gap of ZnO nanoparticles got reduced with doping Ag nanoparticles.
