Abstract

Biocompatibility of nanoparticles (NPs) uses the plant extract as a reducing agent for synthesis and are cost-effective. The existing research focused on fabrication of zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs using Salvadora persica L. root extract as a reducing agent and noticed that varying the extraction solvent varies the morphology of ZnO NPs. The existence of alkaloids, acids, volatiles, and essential oils in root extract helps in ZnO NPs fabrications from its precursor zinc acetate dihydrate. The calcined resultant nanopowders are then characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, and SEM. SEM analysis showed the ZnO NPs have hexagonal wurtzite structure in aqueous dispersion medium while nanorods formed in methanol. The synthesized ZnO NPs crystallite size found 24–25 nm. Besides the function of oral hygiene and various properties of Miswak, it can be employed for the ZnO NPs synthesis. These ZnO NPs with different morphology can be used in medical applications, biosensors, photochemical, and electrical applications.

摘要

纳米粒子（NPs）的生物相容性使用植物提取物作为合成的还原剂，具有成本效益。现有研究集中在使用Salvadora persica制备氧化锌（ZnO）NP根茎提取物作为还原剂，并注意到改变提取溶剂会改变ZnO NP的形态。根提取物中生物碱，酸，挥发物和精油的存在有助于其前体醋酸锌二水合物制造ZnO NP。然后通过UV-Vis光谱，FTIR，XRD和SEM表征煅烧的所得纳米粉末。SEM分析表明，ZnO NPs在水分散介质中具有六方纤锌矿结构，而纳米棒则在甲醇中形成。合成的ZnO NPs晶粒尺寸为24–25 nm。除了口腔卫生功能和Miswak的各种特性外，它还可用于ZnO NPs的合成。这些具有不同形态的ZnO NP可用于医疗应用，生物传感器，光化学和电气应用。
