Popis: |
Zirconium oxide nanoparticles (Nps) were synthesized by the ecologically benign and efficient green combustion method by using latex of E-tirucalli plant extract as a fuel. The synthesized powder samples were confirmed for their size and shape from X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis shows the purity of the prepared material. Structural features of the molecules can be identified using Raman spectroscopy. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the molecule and energy band gap of the material was estimated by UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy. Photocatalysis system for environmental remediation using zirconium oxide Nps was efficiently approached. Also, antibacterial studies of four bacterial pathogens which are harmful to mankind were shown positively from the prepared Nps. The electrochemical property of the synthesized ZrO2 Nps has been shown by quantifying dopamine at micro-molar concentration levels. |
