Abstract

Green synthetic methods of nanoparticles are simple, non-toxic and environmentally benign process which decline the demerits of conven-tional physical and chemical methods. The current study focusses on the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using fresh Brassica oleracea extract. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized using UV-vis spectrophotometry, which showed exciton absorption peak at 380 nm. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and thermo-gravimetric analysis were used to determine the shape, size, crystallinity and purity of nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles was determined by agar well diffusion method against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
