Abstract:The aim of the study was to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) using the bio reduction method and test its photocatalytic degradation potential against methylene blue (MB) dye. Materials and Methods: Zinc nitrate salt was utilized as a precursor for synthesis creation of ZnO nanoparticles. After bio reduction of zinc nitrate, off white cream precipitates were formed, indicating the formation of ZnO. The produced ZnO was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analys… Show more
