This paper presents the green synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles and their microbial and photocatalytic application. The green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out using Zinc nitrate hexahydrate and the bark extract of Acacia caesia (L.) Willd. The nanoparticles were synthesized at an optimum temperature of 65 °C followed by calcination at 400 °C. The samples were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, FTIR and EDX analysis. UV-visible spectroscopy showed a characteristic peak at 338 nm and the bandgap energy was found to be 3 eV which is specific for ZnO. SEM confirmed the presence of ZnO on its nanoscale. EDX gave the elemental details of Zinc constituting to 37.77% and Oxygen comprising 20.77% of its atomic weight. XRD analysis gave the diffractogram indexed at various angles corresponding to ZnO nanoparticles. It also revealed the average crystalline size to be 32.32 nm and the shape was found to be hexagonal. The functional group present in the nanoparticles was characterized using FTIR, which gave a characteristic peak at 485 cm−1. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited significant photocatalytic (methyl blue under UV irradiation). The presence of nanoparticles induces changes in its kinetics, whose rate constants and correlation coefficients were analyzed during the photocatalytic degradation of the model pollutant Methyl Blue. Studies on antibacterial (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), antifungal (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans) and anti-inflammatory (COX assay) properties were also carried out. The nanoparticles were synthesized in an eco-friendly and cost-effective method. The study opens new horizons in the field of water treatment, biosensors and nanotechnology.

In this report, synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from gold leaf by electrolysis in two different media (gel and paper) in presence of sodium chloride (NaCl), glucose (C6H12O6) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) at room temperature were investigated. Graphite was used as two electrodes, NaCl was used as an electrolyte, C6H12O6 was used as reducing agent and PVP was used as stabilizer to control the aggregation of the nanoparticles. UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to confirm the characteristics and morphologies of the synthesized AuNPs.

Complex iron(III) salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone with a formula Na[Fe(STSC)2] have been synthesized. Ligand, salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (SCT) was prepared through the condensation reaction of salycilaldehide with thiosemicarbazide. Na[Fe(STSC)2] has been synthesized by reacting FeCl3 with thiosemicarbazide based ligand bearing ONS donor atoms. Complex has been formulated and characterized by mass spectrometry, infrared and UV/visible spectroscopy. The facts showed the formation of a complex in metal:ligand stoichiometric ratio 1:2. The ligand is coordinated as an ONS tridentate dianion via oxygen atom after the deprotonation of the phenolic OH-group, azomethine nitrogen and sulphur in thiol form of the deprotonated thiosemicarbazide residue. Antioxidant activity was determined, where ligand showed significant activity, while complex, at low concentration, exhibited almost no activity.

Polyalthia Longifolia

In this present study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was synthesized from silver nitrate using the reducing agents of Polyalthia longifolia bark extract and applied the catalyst in the reduction/degradation of environmental polluted organic compound in the presence of NaBH4. Initially, the colourless reaction mixture was slowly changed to yellowish brown, UV-visible spectroscopy of surface plasmon resonance centre at 447 nm confirmed the formation of AgNPs. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) clearly identified the spherical shapes nanoparticles with diameters sizes 5-25 nm. This AgNPs has excellent catalyst in the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) as compared to the reducing agent of NaBH4 (chemical) and plant extract (natural).

This work describes the green synthesis and the characterization of nanoparticles of iron(II) gluconate complex, which is known to have antianemic properties. Iron(II) gluconate was synthesized by using ferrous chloride and sodium gluconate. The aqueous extract of leaves of Cataranthus roseus was used as a capping as well as reducing agent for the fabrication of nanoparticles of iron(II) gluconate complex. The synthesized Fe(II) complex and its nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible, FTIR, SEM and FESEM techniques. Mechanism of plant leaf mediated synthesis has also been discussed.
