Plant-Mediated Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: Advancements in Nanotechnology and Antimicrobial Research

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been made using Zinc Sulfate as a precursor and leaf extract from the Mentha Spearmint. The course of the reaction was probably monitored by the color change of the resulting solution. The size of the nanoparticle was determined to be 31.78 nm, Ultraviolet (UV)-Visible Spectroscopy, powderX-ray diffraction techniques (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The microbiological activity of the generated ZnO-NPs is examined.
