Abstract

The present work focus on Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using zinc nitrate and sodium hydroxide as precursors through a simple wet chemical method using aqueous gum exudates of Azadirachta indica a biopolymer, as stabilizing agent. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles by green method were characterized by using UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) studies. The average size of the green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were predominantly found within the range 10-25 nm. Antifungal activity of the prepared nanoparticles towards Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, and Penicillum varians was also investigated.
