Figures & data

Figure 1. (A) UV-Visible spectrum absorption pattern, (B) TEM and (C) TEM analysis of ZnO-NPs synthesised from V. amygdalina. UV-Vis absorption spectra of ZnO-NPs. The peak values for UV-VIS, plotted between ZnO-NPs/absorbance ratios. The highest absorbance peak is about 350.00. All solutions were in water. V. amygdalina extract ZnO NPs were found as nano shaped ( The organisation, segment and form of amalgamated product were examined by the SEM study.

Figure 3. X-ray diffraction analysis of ZnO-NPs synthesised from V. amygdalina. The XRD pattern showed dissimilar concentration peaks in the entire band of 2θ values between range from 25° to 75° for the V. amygdalina extract. The V. amygdalina synthesised ZnO NPs were indexed as 100, 002, 101, 102, 110, 103, 112, and 201. The zinc was indexed and excited at 101 and 100.
