Structural, optical and electrical conductivity studies of pure and Fe doped ZincOxide (ZnO) nanoparticles

Sci Rep

Over the past few decades, the green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained importance for their therapeutic efficacy and eco-friendly nature. Integrating green chemistry principles into multidisciplinary nanoscience research has paved the way for developing environmentally benign and sustainable methods for synthesizing gold and silver nanoparticles. In the present study, the flowers obtained from Clerodendrum infortunatum (L.), belonging to the family Verbenaceae, have been used for biosynthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to evaluate the anthelmintic potential. UV–Vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM and TEM analyses were performed to ascertain the formation of AgNPs. Clerodendrum-derived AgNP (CLE-AgNP) has significantly affected the normal physiological functions of the poultry parasite Raillietina spp., a menace to the livestock industry. Our study manifests that CLE-AgNPs cause considerable distortion of the surface tegument of this cestode parasite leading to changes in the host-parasite interface. The histochemical localization studies of the tegument-associated enzymes viz. AcPase, AlkPase, ATPase and 5’-Nu, exposed to the drug, showed a substantial activity decline, thus establishing the anthelmintic potential of the CLE-AgNPs.

“…: 04–0783). The average crystal size D of the AgNPs has been estimated from the diffractogram by using the Debye-Scherrer formula, D = 0.9 λ / β Cos θ , where λ is the wavelength of the X-rays used for diffraction, θ the Bragg angle, and β the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a diffraction band 41 . Based on the XRD spectrum of the CLE-AgNP, the average size of the nanoparticles was calculated to be 27.67 nm.…”
