Abstract

Rapid synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles through economically feasible hydrothermal approach is highly desirable. In this study, we have developed a method to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles by using simple hydrothermal process in aqueous zinc salt solution (ZnCl2) without need of any surfactant or external energy. This experimentation produced physiologically stable, bio-compatible ZnONPs which may be used for targeted drug delivery that offers enhanced therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects. TEM image indicated the formation of spherical, nonuniform, and polydispersed nanoparticles. A detailed study of antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles has been carried out. Keywords: Hydrothermal, ZnO NPs, XRD, UV, Antimicrobial Activity
