Abstract

Nanoscience and nanotechnology have been established recently a new interdisciplinary science and now a day it is one of the most attractive research area in modern material science. The aim of this work was to investigate the photo catalytic property of Zinc oxide nano particles by using Plectranthus ambionicus leaf extract at various concentration. The average crystalline size of the prepared ZnO nanoparticles was calculated in XRD analysis. The UV-visible absorption spectrum indicates the band gap of green synthesis ZnO nanoparticles. The synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were subjected to Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to detect the various functional groups associated with the prepared nano particles. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis to measure the morphological structure of synthesized ZnO Nano particles. Moreover, the green synthesized Zno nanoparticles showed a superior photo catalytic performance than chemically synthesized Zno particles.
