[Display omitted] The Aloe Vera nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by using Zinc sulfate via Photon Induced Method (PIM). A novel green and eco-friendly technique are reported in this paper using Zinc doped Aloe Vera plant extract for Zn-AV NPs. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to report the synthesis of Zn doped Aloe Vera nanostructures for visible-light photocatalyst. The synthesized Zn doped AV NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The structure formation of Zn-AV NPs and crystallite size 22 nm was confirmed by XRD studies. FT-IR spectra showed the presence of functional groups and protein as the stabilizing agent surrounding the Aloe Vera nanoparticles. The formation of the AV NPs phase was also confirmed by FT-IR. The optical properties were determined by DRS was observed that the bandgap Zn doped AV NPs (2.5 eV) had a degreased band gap than that of pure zinc oxide (3.37 eV), which can be assigned to the visible light absorption of Zn-AV NPs due to the electron transitions from the valence band to the conduction band. We are reported the first time not reported anywhere. This results elucidated a fast, advanced medicine than plant-mediated nanoparticles. The green medicine has no side effect, commercially low cost and eco-friendly method of next-generation green NPs synthesis, which could be used as a potential used as a potent agent against various deadly diseases.
