Green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Aphloia theiformis leaf extract from Madagascar: Characterisations
We report a sustainable green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using an aqueous extract of Aphloia theiformis, an indigenous medicinal plant from Madagascar. The phytochemicals in the extract act as both reducing and stabilising agents. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) was used as the precursor, a...
