Research article green synthesis of zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2NPs) using Helianthus annuus seed and their antimicrobial effects
2021
Abstract Monoclinic Zirconia (ZrO2NPs) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by non-toxic and low-cost production using green synthesis analysis from the methanolic extract of Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seeds as the reducing agent. Mechanism of the chemical reaction has shown the reduction and which confirmed the formation of nanoparticles via chemical bonding in the IR spectrum at 502-498 cm-1 ZrO2 nanoparticles were characterized as sharp peak at 275 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum with 3.7eV in photon energy bandgap, it confirms the monoclinic crystal structure, as well as x-ray diffractometry, reveals zirconia crystallite is 40.59 nm. The internal morphology of crystal structure is exhibited by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The stability of nanoparticles is represented in terms of zeta potential (-9.32 mV) and particle size distribution (~331 nm). Biosynthesized ZrO2NPs were indicated as superior antimicrobial activity for biomedical applications.
