Green synthesis, characterization and cyclic voltammetric Studies of Nano Zinc Oxide

The present study focus on the green chemistry in the synthesis of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles by Zinc nitrate and Allium sativum extract. The Zinc Oxide nanoparticles are known to be one of the multifunctional inorganic nanoparticles and Zinc Oxide crystallites have been synthesized by simple ecofriendly method. Nanoparticles produced by plants are more stable, and the rate of synthesis is faster than that in the case of other organisms. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles is characterized by using X-ray Diffraction(XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. The XRD analysis shows that the synthesized nanoparticles have been indexed as hexagonal system with primitive lattice.
