Biofriendly and competent domestic microwave assisted method for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles from the extract of Azadirachta indica leaves

ZnO nanoparticles are successfully prepared via eco-friendly synthesis using Azadirachta indica leaves extract with microwave assisted solvothermal method using a domestic microwave oven. The structure of green synthesized ZnO NPs and lattice parameters were confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis exhibit the morphology and elemental analysis of the green synthesized ZnO NPs. The photoconductivity study reveals the positive photoconductive nature of ZnO nanoparticles.
