Effect of reaction time of zinc oxide nanoparticle synthesized with banana peel extract: article

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles was synthesized by green approach employing aqueous extract of banana peel. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of banana peel aqueous extracts for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles using banana peel aqueous extract at times 30mins, 1hrs, 1.30hrs, 2hrs and 2.30hrs. The effect of different time conditions (30mins–2.30hrs) is studied. The XRD suggested hexagonal wutzite structure for these prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles. Synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy with maximum absorbance peak. The chemical group association and elemental composition of nanoparticles was analyzed using FTIR.
