Green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using loquat seed extract; Biological functions and photocatalytic degradation properties

This research aimed to optimize the loquat (Eriobutria japonica) seed aqueous extract mediated green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) through Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The independent variables including zinc acetate concentration (0.01–0.2 M), the precursor to the extract r...

Description
Summary:This research aimed to optimize the loquat (Eriobutria japonica) seed aqueous extract mediated green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) through Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The independent variables including zinc acetate concentration (0.01–0.2 M), the precursor to the extract ratio (1: 2.5 to 1: 10) and pH value (8–12.5) affected the particle size and the absorption content. Microscopic study and spectroscopic examination demonstrated NPs
