Title A name given to the resource Optimized green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles: evaluation of structural, morphological, vibrational and optical properties Description An account of the resource In this study, leaf extracts of Aloe vera (AV), Azadirachta indica (AI), and Amaranthus dubius (AD) were used to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles utilizing a simple green synthesis process. The structural, optical, band energy, size, surface area, and shape of as-prepared nanoparticles were studied using analytical techniques. The hexagonal phase was revealed by XRD studies for all three samples: AV-ZnO, AI-ZnO, and AD-ZnO, with crystallite sizes of 35.8nm, 30.83nm, and 33.1nm, respectively. The UVVisible spectra of AV-ZnO, AI-ZnO, and AD-ZnO exhibit the characteristic absorption in the range of 200 to 450nm, and the band gap energy was found to be 3.10eV, 3.12eV, and 3.07eV, respectively. FESEM and TEM studies revealed that the ZnO NPs are rod-shaped with a roughly spherical appearance. EDAX analysis confirmed the presence of zinc and oxygen and indicates that the formed product is a pure phase of ZnO NPs. Increased antibacterial activity was noted for AV-ZnO, AI-ZnO, and AD-ZnO against gram-negative (Klebsiella pneumonia, Shigella dysenteriae), gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus) bacterial strain. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
