Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we used the aqueous extract of the Zygophyllum Coccineum Plant Leaves for the synthesis of ZnO-NPs by a green method utilizing zinc acetate dihydrate as a precursor. The synthesized zinc oxide NPs was characterized by AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), UV-Vis. (UV-Visible spectroscopy), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FE-SEM (Field emission Scanning Electron Microscopy), and EDX (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy). We investigate the topography of the ZnO-NPs surface and it gave an average diameter of 67.42 nm. The wavelength of the sample was 368 nm and Eg was 3.3714 e. V. The absorption peak appears at 561 cm-1 which confirms the presence of ZnO-NPs nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction studies represent the size of crystallites 12.01 nm using the Debby-Scherrer formula that proposed ZnO-NPs have a hexagonal structure. The purity of zinc oxide NPs formation and the percentage of elements in nanoparticles structure were proven by EDX. SEM testing using the images of the ZnO-NPs proved that spherical shapes of nanoparticles agree with XRD analysis.
