Abstract

Nature and nanotechnology have not yet achieved a lucid correlation in the field of science but together they have exhibited immense potential for advancement and modification in future science and technology. Due to the unique properties of nanomaterials like nanoparticles gained considerable importance. The objective of the present work is to develop a procedure for obtaining ZnO nanoparticles via complex formation with plant extract. Aegle marmelos leaves were utilized as a template for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. The ZnO nanoparticles were subjected to UV-Visible, FTIR, XRD, and SEM analysis. The presence of a phenolic group in the extract can form ZnO nanoparticles and act as stabilizing agent. The optical feature-s were typical of ZnO nanoparticles with an excitonic peak at 371nm from their absorption spectra and band gap Eg energy found to be 3.34ev. It was confirmed from the XRD pattern that the structure of ZnO nanoparticles is crystalline and the average crystal size of ZnO nanoparticles is 36.40nm. FTIR analysis proved that the particle is of biological origin. The SEM analysis displayed a fine spherical ZnO nanoparticle and a size of ZnO nanoparticle 47.82nm.
