E. tirucalli plant latex mediated green combustion synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles: Structure, photoluminescence and photo-catalytic activities

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using esterases contained E. tirucalli plant latex as a fuel. The structural, morphological and spectroscopic studies of the as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were analyzed using powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UVeVisible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.
