摘要

The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Musa acuminate colla bracts (Mab ZnO NPs), through an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach. The bracts of M. acuminata colla, is rich in phytochemicals, facilitate the reduction of zinc ions to form ZnO NPs. The nanoparticles characterization was performed by various analytical techniques. The FTIR analysis exposed that the existence of peak at 416 cm−1  disclosed the presence of metal oxides in Mab ZnO NPs. The XRD pattern shows the crystalline nature of nanoparticles. The morphological analysis of as-synthesized nanoparticles through SEM analysis and proves particles were 70–80 nm. EDX spectra displayed the presence of C, O and Zn elements confirming the formation of ZnO NPs. In TGA spectra stated 9.1% of mass reduction in Mab ZnO NPs. The research concludes the utilization of industrial agro-food wastes as natural reducing and stabilizing agents, for the synthesis of nanoparticles with diverse applications in bio medicinal field.
