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 the need of any surfactant or external energy. This experimentation produced physiologically stable, bio-compatible Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnONPs) which may be used for targeted drug delievery that offers enhanced therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects. TEM image indicated the formation of spherical, non-uniform, and poly dispersed nanoparticles. A detailed study of anti-microbial activity of nanoparticles has been carried out. Keywords: Hydrothermal, ZnO NPs, XRD, UV, antimicrobial activity
