Laurus nobilis leaf extract mediated green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles: Characterization and biomedical applications

The present study reports the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using the aqueous leaf extract of Laurus nobilis ( Ln -ZnO NPs) by co-precipitation method. The synthesized Ln -ZnO NPs were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD , TEM, SEM and EDX . Ln -ZnO NPs were crystalline in nature, flower like and have hexagonal wurtzite structure with a mean particle size of 47.27 nm. The antibacterial activity of Ln -ZnO NPs was...
