Biosynthesis of zinc oxide and silver/zinc oxide nanoparticles from Urginea epigea for antibacterial and antioxidant applications

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver-zinc oxide (Ag/ZnO) nanocomposite were synthesized by a green method using Zn(CH3COO)2 and AgNO3 as precursors for zinc and silver respectively; and Urginea epigea bulb extract as a reducing/capping agent. The nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) an...
