Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Moringa Leaf Extract

Abstract

This paper investigates the technique of biosynthesis of nanoparticles of zinc oxide from the extraction of moringa leaves. Many researchers recognize the use of this method of green culinary technique because it is cost-effective and has no negative impact on the environment; however, this paper focuses on the bacteria chosen for the green synthesis, which was not addressed by many of the researchers. The firmness and reduction of Zn ions in nanoparticles of zinc oxide were analyzed with a UV-visible spectroscope. Its results show that a wide bandgap was observed in the visible region at a wavelength of 350 nanometers. Extraction of moringa leaves serves as a promising agent for the balance of particle size. The result of medical value shows significant antibacterial activity in contrast to the type of pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. From the XRD results, there are no further peaks that correspond to impurities that are discovered, demonstrating the great purity of the provided results.

Assessing the Usefulness of Moringa oleifera Leaf Extract as a Biostimulant to Supplement Synthetic Fertilizers: A Review

“…Subsequently, the authors filtered the obtained solution through muslin cloth and diluted it with distilled water at distinct ratios (1:20, 1:30, and 1:40) immediately prior to application onto the crops. Although water as a solvent does not result in a high yield, generally, the aqueous extraction of moringa has gained popularity in recent years amongst farmers, especially subsistence and smallholder farmers, because water is most readily available, environmentally friendly and cheap compared to other solvents such as methanol and alcohol [57,[61][62][63].…”

Mycosynthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Coated with Silver using Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst and Its Evaluation of In Vitro Antidiabetic and Anticancer Potential

“…The mixture was stirred for 2-3 hr with the use of a magnetic stirrer. Then the mixture of the aqueous solution was placed in the open shaker to improve the synthesis of Ag-ZnO NPs [12,13].…”

Biosynthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and effect on seed germination of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in vitro

“…In fact, it has been shown that using nanoparticles can help provide zinc nanofertilizers with highly effective solubility and distribution properties, which major a turning point in the agricultural sector (4). Furthermore, the process of biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles is considered a process that is environmentally friendly, cheap, with high efficiency, and has a large yield of nanoparticles where many plants were used as effective and good reducers in the production of zinc nanoparticles (1). Our study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of extract leaves of M. communis in synthesising of zinc nanoparticles and the effect of these particles on the germination rate and some growth characteristics of wheat seeds.…”
