Abstract

In this study, we have synthesized zirconium oxide nanoparticles by green, cost-effective solution combustion method using Indian bael extract as a fuel. The zirconium oxide nanoparticles are confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. The phase and crystalline property of the material was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis, surface morphology was checked by scanning electron microscope, and the energy dispersive X-ray spectrum confirmed the purity and elemental composition of zirconium oxide nanoparticles. Further, the zirconium oxide nanoparticles were subjected for antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains, the biogenic zirconium oxide nanoparticles showed good activity against all tested bacterial and fungal strains. Overall, this study confirms that the biogenic zirconium oxide nanoparticles could be used as a possible antimicrobial agent.
