GREEN SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ZINC OXIDE NANOPARTICLES USING CASSIA ARTICULATE FLOWER EXTRACT

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were prepared by using green synthesis method. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The wave number 828 cm-1 indicated the presence of the zinc oxide nanoparticles. The average crystallite sizes were calculated by applying sheer equation on the base of XRD powder patterns of all samples and found to be in the range 38.11 nm. This is order in nanosize. In accordance with the SEM image would like that rock in shape.
