Green synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles-A novel approach using Carica papaya leaf extract

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanomaterial has received very significant importance in many fields. The aim of this research is to develop a novel green synthetic route to synthesize nanoparticles. The present study deals with green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using aqueous extracts of Carica papaya leaves. The aqueous extracts of Carica papaya leaves plays a major role in reducing the zinc acetate to zinc oxide nanoparticles and acts as surface stabilizing substance for zinc oxide nanoparticles production. Here, the characterization of green synthesized Carica papaya ZnO nanoparticles was done using various techniques like transmission electron microscope analysis (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis.Copyright CO 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
