Nano Zinc Oxide Green-Synthesized from <i>Plumbago auriculata</i> Lam. Alcoholic Extract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized by using an alcoholic extract of the flowering aerial parts of <i>Plumbago auriculata</i> Lam. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) revealed that the average size of synthesized ZnO NPs was 10.58 ± 3.350 nm and the zeta potential was −19.6 mV...
