Green synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles with antibacterial and antifungal activity

The present study involves synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) through a rapid, cost effective and eco-friendly method using four different plant extracts. The plants used in this study were Beta vulgaris, Cinnamomum tamala, Cinnamomum verum, Brassica oleracea var. Italica. Characterizations of ZnO-NPs were done using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)....
