Facile Green Synthesis Of Zno Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extract

We describe a simple combination reaction between zinc nitrate and leaf extract of Solanum nigrum to prepare ZnO nanoparticles. The synthesized NPs subjected to structural, optical, and morphological analyses. The structural analysis demonstrates that the prepared ZnO NPs are crystalline and exhibit hexagonal wurtzite. The optical properties of the products were studied by ultraviolet–visible and room temperature photoluminescence measurements. The morphology of the products was analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis.
