“…The neat ZnO exhibited diffraction angle (2θ) at 31.71°, 34.44°, 36.05°, 47.42°, 56.48°, 62.69°, 66.28°, 67.70°, 68.88°, 72.45° and 77.04° corresponding to the (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), (200), (112), (201), (004) and (202) characteristic reflection planes of zincite crystal structure of ZnONPs respectively (JCPDS file no: 36‐1451) [40] . Further, the appearance of new diffraction peak for CS‐ZnONPs at angle 2θ=20.1° corresponding to the (110) crystallographic plane was noticed [41] . Meanwhile, the crystallite size of the CS‐ZnO was found to be 58 nm calculated by Debye Scherer formula, ere, λ is wavelength of x‐ray, β is half maximum line width, and θ is the Bragg's angle).…”
