Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Catunaregam spinosa (Thunb.) triveng for biologicals applications.

ABSTRACT: Green synthesis, which creates nanoparticles from natural sources such as microorganisms or plant extracts, is a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical methods since it employs less hazardous chemicals and has fewer negative environmental consequences. In this study, the antioxidant, antibacterial, and toxicological properties of ZnO nanoparticles were investigated by synthesizing them using an aqueous extract of Catunaregam spinosa (C. spinosa) leaves. X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to confirm the formation and properties of ZnO-NPs. FE-SEM investigation indicated a nearly spherical form, and XRD computed
