Synthesis And Characterization Of Zno Nanoparticles Using Neem Leaf Extract As A Green Mediator
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The need for environmentally sustainable methods has prompted researchers to explore green chemistry approaches in nanotechnology.Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, known for their exceptional antimicrobial, optical, and catalytic properties, have diverse applications in fields ranging from medicine to food preservation.This journal outlines the synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles using neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract as a green mediator.The bioactive compounds in neem serve as reducing and stabilizing agents, facilitating an eco-friendly and cost-effective process.The neem leaf n-Hexane extract was characterised the concentration of these phytochemicals was 6.20 mg/100g in saponins and the trend continued through to the ZnO neem-leaf nanoparticles synthesised.The zinc oxide synthesized by neem leaf extracts and the neem leaf extracts itself had excellent microbial inhibitive potency.The nanoparticles were characterized using advanced techniques to confirm their properties, providing insights into their potential applications.
