This research presents a new perspective on optical biosensors based on zinc oxide nanoparticles. The widely known and successfully applied nanostructured material is modified by the dopant - the green phosphor Terbium, which embedded in the structure of zinc oxide and makes a significant contribution to the fluorescent response of the material in both the UV and visible spectral regions. The effect of various dopant concentrations on the fluorescence of nanostructures was studied; the nanostructures were examined by SEM.

AbstractHighly stable semiconducting silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via facile, biomimetic and sustainable route, through utilization of Zinc acetate dihydrate (C4H6O4Zn · 2H2O) as host, Silver nitrate (AgNO3) as dopant and phytochemicals of angiospermic medicinal plant Prunus cerasifera as the reducing agents. Synthesis of Ag doped ZnO nanoparticles was done in a one pot synthetic mode by varying the amount of dopant from 0.2 – 2.0%. Synthesized photocatalyst nanoparticles were analyzed via UV-vis, FTIR, XRD and SEM. Commendable alleviation in the direct band gap i.e. 2.81 eV was achieved as a result of doping. Silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles size ranged between 72.11 – 100 nm with rough surface morphology and higher polydispersity degree. The XRD patterns revealed the hexagonal wurtzite geometry of crystals with an average crystallite size of 2.99 nm. Persistent organic dyes Methyl Orange, Safranin O and Rhodamine B were sustainably photodegraded in direct solar irradiance with remarkable degradation percentages up to 81.76, 74.11 and 85.52% in limited time with pseudo first order reaction kinetics (R2 =0.99, 0.99 and 0.97). Furthermore, efficient inhibition against nine microbes of biomedical and agriculturally significance was achieved. Synthesized nanoparticles are potential green remediators of polluted water and perilous pathogens.

Green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this regard, plants extracts and natural resources such as microorganisms and enzymes have been found to be good alternative reagents in nanoparticles synthesis. Utilizing green substances has several advantages including low energy consumption and moderate operation conditions without using any toxic chemicals. An attempt was made to synthesis and characterizes the silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Ag doped ZnO NPs) by using onion extract. The synthesized Ag doped ZnO NPs were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy Analysis (EDAX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Zeta potential analyses. These characterizations revealed that doped nanoparticles are differed in their structural properties. The onion extract was used as reducing agent as well as stabilizer. The phytochemicals found in the onion extract were responsible for the formation of Ag doped ZnO NPs.

ABSTRACTObjective: This study was undertaken to know about the antibacterial and anticancer activity of synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs).Methods: The ZnO NPs and different concentration of Ce3+ (0.05M, 0.10M, and 0.15M)-doped ZnO NPs were synthesized by coprecipitation method.The synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and HRSEM. The antibacterial studies were performed against a set ofbacterial strains as Gram-positive bacteria (Streptococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumonia) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonasaeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Shigella dysenteriae) bacteria. The cytotoxic effect of ZnO and Ce-doped ZnO was analyzed incultured (A549) human lung cancer cell line.Result: The XRD studies showed the wurtzite structure of nanoparticles. HRSEM analysis showed the spherical shape of ZnO and Ce-doped ZnO. TheZn0.85Ce0.15O NPs possessed more antibacterial effect as compared to the other ZnO and Ce-doped ZnO NPs. The Zn0.90Ce0.10O NPs created the highestcytotoxicity activity. With respect to cell death, as low a concentration of 68±0.05 μg/ml of Zn0.90Ce0.10O NPs was good enough to cause loss of viabilityof 50% of the cell as compared to ZnO and Zn1-xCexO (x=0.05 and 0.15) NPs.Conclusion: Results from this work concluded that Zn0.85Ce0.15O and Zn0.90Ce0.10O NPs possess antibacterial and anticancer activity, respectively.Keywords: Zinc oxide nanoparticles, Coprecipitation method, Antibacterial activity and anticancer activity, Human lung cancer cell line.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.
