Abstract

In recent years, nanotechnology studies have gained importance in modern materials science. Green synthesized nanoparticles have attracted great attention due to some properties such as eco-friendly, nontoxicity and cost effectiveness. In this paper, the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was carried out by using Rhododendron ponticum L. leaf extract. The characterization of the green biosynthesized ZnO NPs were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. UV–visible absorption of ZnO NPs showed absorption band at about 345 nm. In addition, zinc and oxygen related sharp peaks were obtained in EDX analysis.

Keywords

Green synthesis, ZnO nanoparticle, Rhododendron ponticum L.
