Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Garlic Skin Extract: A Cost-Effective and Sustainable Approach

. Hajrah Ali & Rabia Ali


Abstract

The utilization of plant-mediated synthesis for metal oxide nanoparticles presents a promising alternative to conventional physical and chemical synthesis methods. This study focuses on the biological synthesis of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO nanoparticles) using Allium sativum skin extract, specifically from garlic skin. The confirmation of ZnO nanoparticle formation was established through UV-visible spectroscopy and FTIR analysis. UV-Vis spectroscopy verified the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, exhibiting an absorption peak at 370 nm. These ZnO nanoparticles, synthesized with garlic skin extract, hold potential applications in various fields such as biotechnology, biomedical, catalysis, coatings, sensors, and water remediation. This research highlights an efficient, cost-effective, simple, innovative, eco-friendly, safe, and convenient approach for the green synthesis of multifunctional ZnO nanoparticles.
