Unveiling the effect of crystallinity and particle size of biogenic Ag/ZnO nanocomposites on the electrochemical sensing performance of carbaryl detection in agricultural products.

ABSTRACT: In this study, bio-Ag/ZnO NCs were synthesized via a microwave-assisted biogenic electrochemical method using mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) peel extract as a biogenic reducing agent for the reduction of Zn²⁺ and Ag⁺ ions to form hybrid nanoparticles. The as-synthesized NC samples at three different microwave irradiation temperatures (Z ₇₀, Z ₈₀, Z ₉₀) exhibited a remarkable difference in size and crystallinity that directly impacted their electrocatalytic behaviors as well as electrochemical sensing performance. The obtained results indicate that the Z ₉₀ sample showed the highest electrochemical performance among the investigated samples, which is attributed to the improved parti
