AbstractStrenuous efforts have been employed to prepare zinc oxide (ZnO) with eco-friendly methods; however, few studies have reported the fabrication of ZnO using a sustainable procedure. In this study, spherical ZnO nanoparticles were successfully fabricated for photocatalysis applications using a simple and eco-friendly method using an arabinose sugar solution. The ZnO nanoparticles with a wurtzite structure were obtained by combining zinc nitrate and arabinose in water, followed by heating, evaporation, and calcinations at different annealing temperatures. The annealed ZnO photocatalysts were characterised via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The findings revealed a hexagonal wurtzite structure and good crystallinity with crystallite size increasing from 18 to 31 nm by means of an increase in the annealing temperature. The photocatalytic performance was examined to determine the degradation of mix dye waste. The spherical ZnO nanoparticles showed mix pollutant degradation of 84 % in 25 min at 400 °C.

With the increase in the potential applications of nanoparticles in pharma and various fields, nanoparticle research is attracting more attention. Though several chemical and physical methods are being used for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, they are associated with several disadvantages. Couroupita guianensis is a traditional plant with medicinal values. The focus of the study was to follow a green chemistry route to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaf extract of Couroupita guianensis as a reductant and stabilizing agent. The boiled aqueous leaf extract with silver nitrate solution on exposure to sunlight showed the maximum absorbance at 430nm indicating the synthesis of AgNPs. Ultra Violet (UV)-Visible spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques were used for the characterization of AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs were found to be spherical and 4.44 – 40.20nm in size. They also seemed to be capped with the significant functional groups present in the leaf extract. Thus, the study suggested Couroupita guianensis mediated green synthesis of AgNPs as an efficient and eco-friendly approach with substantial advantages over the conventional methods. The process could be further scaled-up for mass production and wider applications of AgNPs.

AbstractThe current study provides novel results on the synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) of gold and palladium (Au–Pd) with an eco-friendly and non-toxic aqueous leaf extract of plant Citrus limon. The BNPs were characterized and toxicity bioassay was examined on the larvae of the pathogen vectors such as Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The predation efficiency test was evaluated on the invertebrate non-target organisms such as natural predatory nymphs of dragonfly and damselfly. The results of material characterization using UV VIS spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of Au–Pd BNPs with the appearance of the SPR bands. FT-IR spectroscopy indicates the presence of functional groups containing high amounts of nitro compounds and amines on the surface of BNPs. TEM result shows the presence of spherical polydisperse Au–Pd BNPs in the sample. The XRD pattern displayed the semi-crystalline nature and the changes in the hydrodynamic size and surface potential was determined for the sample at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h of synthesis through DLS and ZP analysis. Au–Pd BNPs Bioassay provided the effective lethal concentrations (LC50) against the I–IV instar larvae of An. stephensi and Ae. aegypti after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h of exposure. The LC50 obtained from the larvicidal bioassay was used to test its effect on the predation efficiency of the selected nymphs which showed increased predation from 40 to 48 h of exposure as compared to the negative control. Hereby, we conclude that Au–Pd BNPs bioassay shows toxic mosquito larvicidal activity at the selected concentration with no lethal effect on the predation efficiency of the selected stage of the predatory non-target aquatic invertebrate insects.

In the present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were prepared using ZnCl2.2H2O as a precursor, via green route using leaf extract of Rhazya stricta as capping and reducing agent. The prepared ZnO nanoparticles were examined using UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction spectrometer (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The UV-Vis absorption spectrum at 355 nm showed an absorption peak, which indicates the formation of ZnO NPs. The FT-IR spectra analysis was performed to identify the potential biomolecule of the as-prepared ZnO NPs. The FT-IR spectra showed peaks at 3455, 1438, 883, and 671 cm−1 in the region of 4000–500 cm−1, which indicates –OH, NH, C-H, and M-O groups, respectively. The SEM images showed aggregation of ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of 70–90 nm. The XRD study indicated that the ZnO NPs were crystalline in nature with hexagonal wurtzite structure and broad peaks were observed at 2 theta positions 31.8°, 34.44°, 36.29°, 47.57°, 56.61°, 67.96°, and 69.07°. The synthesized ZnO NPs were found to be good antiplasmodial with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 3.41 μg/mL. It is concluded from the current study that the ZnO NPs exhibited noble antiplasmodial activity, and for the improvement of antiplasmodial medications, it might be used after further in vivo studies.

Comparison of bio CeO2-Nps prepared using Trianthema Portulastrum leaf extract with chemical CeO2-Nps is of interest. The ultraviolet - visible, x-ray diffraction, HR - TEM, FT - IR, and photoluminescence studies were conducted with CeO2-Nps. UV–Maximum absorptionat 292 nm was completed using UV-visible spectrum. The HR–TEM images showed 38 nm bio CeO2-Nps with spherical morphology. This showed the polycrystalline character of CeO2-Nps similar to XRD data. The presence of metal oxide is confirmed by FT - IR analyses. The CeO2-Nps showed the potential photocatalytic activity for Acid black 1 color degradation after exposure to sunlight. Chem and bio CeO2-Nps have a degradation rate of 86.66 and 94.33%, respectively for acid black 1 dye. The synthesized CeO2-Nps are also evaluated for antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The bio CeO2-Nps has antibacterial activity for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17 ± 0.56 mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (16 ± 0.24 mm) at low concentrations of 100 μl. The CeO2-Nps bio showed high inhibition of radical DPPH IC50 μg/ml, at 95.17 ± 21. Thus, we show that CeO2-Nps have environmentally friendly properties that are useful for dye degradation with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were synthesized by a straightforward modified thermal method using only one chemical: zinc acetate dihydrate. The process is environmentally safer than other methods because it does not involve other chemicals or a catalyst, acid, or base source. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the ZnO-NPs crystallize in the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The UV–vis absorption spectra revealed a marked redshift, which is critical for enhanced photocatalytic activity. We used methylene blue for photocatalytic activity tests and found an excellent degradation percentage (99.7%) within a short time (80 min). The antibacterial activity of the synthesized ZnO-NPs was tested against Escherichia coli at different concentrations of ZnO-NPs. The analysis revealed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the ZnO-NPs against E. coli was 30–50 μg/mL. Our ZnO-NPs were found to be more effective than previously reported ZnO-NPs synthesized via other methods.
