With increase in incidence of multidrug resistant pathogens, there is a demand to adapt newer approaches in order to combat these diseases as traditional therapy is insufficient for their treatment. Use of nanotechnology provides a promising alternative as antimicrobial agents as against traditional antibiotics. Metal oxides have been exploited for a long times for their antimicrobial properties. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are preferred over other metal oxide nanoparticles because of their bio-compatible nature and excellent antibacterial potentials. The basic mechanism of bactericidal nature of ZnO nanoparticles includes physical contact between ZnO nanoparticles and the bacterial cell wall, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as free radicals and release of Zn2+ ions. This review focuses on different synthesis methods of ZnO nanoparticles, various analytical techniques frequently used for testing antibacterial properties, mechanism explaining antibacterial nature of ZnO nanoparticles as well as different factors affecting the antibacterial properties.

AbstractHighly stable semiconducting silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via facile, biomimetic and sustainable route, through utilization of Zinc acetate dihydrate (C4H6O4Zn · 2H2O) as host, Silver nitrate (AgNO3) as dopant and phytochemicals of angiospermic medicinal plant Prunus cerasifera as the reducing agents. Synthesis of Ag doped ZnO nanoparticles was done in a one pot synthetic mode by varying the amount of dopant from 0.2 – 2.0%. Synthesized photocatalyst nanoparticles were analyzed via UV-vis, FTIR, XRD and SEM. Commendable alleviation in the direct band gap i.e. 2.81 eV was achieved as a result of doping. Silver doped zinc oxide nanoparticles size ranged between 72.11 – 100 nm with rough surface morphology and higher polydispersity degree. The XRD patterns revealed the hexagonal wurtzite geometry of crystals with an average crystallite size of 2.99 nm. Persistent organic dyes Methyl Orange, Safranin O and Rhodamine B were sustainably photodegraded in direct solar irradiance with remarkable degradation percentages up to 81.76, 74.11 and 85.52% in limited time with pseudo first order reaction kinetics (R2 =0.99, 0.99 and 0.97). Furthermore, efficient inhibition against nine microbes of biomedical and agriculturally significance was achieved. Synthesized nanoparticles are potential green remediators of polluted water and perilous pathogens.

The synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles with the use of medicinal plant extract is a promising alternative to the conventional chemical method. This work aimed to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles using a green approach from indigenous “Koseret” Lippia adoensis leaf extract which is an endemic medicinal plant and cultivated in home gardens of different regions of Ethiopia. The biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, this study also evaluated the antibacterial activity of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles against clinical and standard strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis by the disc diffusion method. According to the result of this study, ZnO nanoparticles synthesized using Lippia adoensis leaf extract showed promising result against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains with a maximum inhibition zone of 14 mm and 12 mm, respectively, using uncalcinated form of the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.

We reported a simple, green and eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Pongamia pinnata plant leaves acts as reducing agent as well as capping agent. Biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results suggested that the zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized by aqueous extract of Pongamia pinnata plant leaves with high purity, mostly spherical in shape with an average size of 23.5 nm.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology manage the creation, running, and utilization of the materials having the nanoscale measurement. In this audit, for the most part, centers on the green amalgamation of zinc oxide nanoparticles utilizing diverse plants parts (leaf, bloom, natural products, root and stem bark), microscopic organisms, and growth with logical name, family name, regular name and its portrayal, size, and state of the nanoparticles, and different applications. Different significances and utilization of the green incorporated ZnO nanoparticles in the photocatalyst and antibacterial movements were also examined.


Zinc deficiency is one of the major malnutritional problems worldwide specifically in developing and developed countries. The zinc uptake takes place in human body in ionic form and metabolized naturally and converted into nano form. In the present study zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were synthesized by starch. The synthesized different ZnONPs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X ray analysis (EDX). FTIR analysis revealed Zinc peak at 405.05 cmˉ1 .The average size of the synthesized ZnONPs was in the range from 200-300 nm with flower like shape. Furthermore, toxicity and level of nanoparticle accumulation were evaluated in young and adult guppies (Poecilia reticulata) using different concentration of ZnONPs. To explore the toxicological effect, the different concentration of nanoparticles administered in young and adult guppies. There was a dose dependent toxicological effects were noted in the guppies.
