Greener synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Trianthema portulacastrum extract and evaluation of its photocatalytic and biological applications

Publication date: Available online 31 January 2019Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Zia Ul Haq Khan, Hafiz Masood Sadiq, Noor Samad Shah, Arif Ullah Khan, Nawshad Muhammad, Sadaf Ul Hassan, Kamran Tahir, Sher Zaman Shafi, Faheem Ullah Khan, Muhammad Imran, Naveed Ahmad, Faizan Ullah, Ashfaq Ahmad, Murtaza Syed, Muhammad Shafique Khalid, Saeed Ahmad Qaisrani, Mazhar Ali, Muhammad Zakir AliAbstractSynthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) through "green" chemistry is an exciting area of research with wide applications. Trianthema portulacastrum's extract containing greater amount of reducing agents has been explored first time for the synthesis of ZnO-NPs that characterized with UV/Vis, XRD, FT-IR, SEM,EDX, HR-TEM and XPS. The particles of ZnO-NPs are crystal...
