Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) Using Codiaeum variegatum Extract and Its Photocatalytic Activity Toward Basic Violet Dye.
This study presents an eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using the aqueous leaf extract of Codiaeum variegatum as a plant-derived capping and stabilizing medium. Zinc acetate dihydrate was reacted with the extract in an alkaline medium, followed by drying and calcination to obtai...
