Zinc oxide–Polyvinyl alcohol (ZnO/PVA) nanocomposites doped with varying concentrations of nano ZnO were prepared by solution casting method. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by simple chemical route. Structural, Optical and Spectroscopic properties of the prepared nanocomposites were studied by using Ultra Violet Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectrophotometer (FTIR) and SEM techniques. XRD and FTIR are used to determine the effect of the synthetic conditions and resulting processing on the material structure. XRD reveals the presence of nano ZnO with hexagonal wurtzite phase in the polymer matrix. The peaks in FTIR spectra of the prepared films show the interaction between nano ZnO and the PVA polymer. SEM shows homogenous dispersion of zinc oxide nanoparticles in the polyvinyl alcohol matrix. The optical properties of ZnO/PVA nanocomposites have been investigated.

This study presents the formation of the zinc silicate from amorphous silica obtained from waste rice ash, with the addition of zinc oxide nanoparticles by conventional solid-state technique. The XRD showed the sharp intensive and small peaks while FTIR results indicated very slight variations in their peaks with the increased of samarium dopant concentrations. The FESEM clearly showed the cracks of zinc silicate doped with samarium the samples. The least thermal diffusivity values from 0.2039 to 0.1392 mm2/s acquired by pure zinc silicate (willemite) sintered at 1000°C. The thermal diffusivity was increasing with dopant concentration and decreasing with the rise in temperature (27-500°C). The thermal diffusivity curves revealed the exponential decay with the pores and cracks in the samples.

Abstract The present paper describes the green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from the flowers of L. nepetifolia. The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles and examined by using Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction analysis, Dynamic Light Scattering analysis, Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, and Thermogravimetric Analysis. The photocatalytic studies were followed using methylene blue (MB) dye by ZnO nanoparticles by using sunlight as a source. The degradation of MB dye is found to be 90 %. Then the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles help to evaluate the antioxidant activities. The antioxidant activities of ZnO nanoparticles were exhibiting through scavenging of Nitric oxide, Hydrogen peroxide, and DPPH free radicals. Furthermore, the electrochemical analysis of reduced Graphene Oxide-Zinc oxide (rGO-ZnO) nanocomposite shows that the prepared rGO-ZnO nanocomposite has a high specific capacitance of about 667 F g-1 in comparison with the pure Zinc oxide nanoparticles (200 F g-1) and has good cycling stability of around 1000 cycles. The synthesis of multifunctional ZnO nanoparticles by using natural plant products like seeds, leaves, flowers, etc may help to explore as environment-friendly which is opposite to chemical synthesis.
