Assessment of Illicium Verum Mediated Preparation of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles: An Approach to XRD, Spectral and Microscopic Analysis | Chapter 08 | Current Topics on Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 1

 Green synthesis is a popular topic among scientists. Instead of employing chemicals as a reducing agent, we use plant extract. With zinc nitrate as a precursor and Illicium verum extract as a reducing and stabilising agent, zinc oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesised. The reducing and stabilising agents were polyphenols and flavonoids found in Star anise. The synthesised Zinc oxide nanoparticles were examined using FT-IR, UV-visible, SEM, and XRD techniques. The nanoparticles were confirmed to be zinc oxide nanoparticles using UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopy. XRD data was used to determine the structure and size of the created nano-sized particles. Based on XRD studies, the size was predicted to be 27.01 nm. According to SEM investigation, zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibit a spherical and flake-like structure and morphology.
