Background:
In current scenario, green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is an interesting issue of the nano science and nano biotechnology by using organisms such as plants, microorganisms, other than chemicals.
Objective:
In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized within the Heartwood aqueous extract of Acacia catechu (AC) using microwave-assisted method. This method has advantages such as nontoxic, economically viable, easier to scale up, less time consuming and environmentally friendly approach for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles.
Materials and Methods:
The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope methods.
Results:
Results obtained showed that Acacia Catechu could synthesize stable zinc oxide nanoparticles with the absorbance band at 380nm under UV-Visible. AC-ZnNPs were to be confirmed spherical in shape and is agglomerates of nano crystalline size obtained from the SEM. FT-IR spectrum indicated the presence of biological compounds responsible capping and stabilizing AC-ZnNPs in suspension.
Conclusion:
Hence this study suggested that Acacia catechu Heartwood extract could be useful in synthesis of efficient ZnO nanoparticles. In future the preparation snaps can be made as a Nano composite for various treatments of medical diagnostic purpose and other applications.
