Abstract EN
In this study, the leaves extract of Cordia myxa, has been used for the first time to synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) hierarchical microstructures.
The solution combustion method was employed as a self-sustaining reaction between zinc nitrate and the leaves extract.
The surface properties of leaves mediated ZnO microstructures were determined by UV–Visible spectral analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Cold field emission-scanning electron microscopy (CFE-SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
In addition, the effect of the leaves extract concentration on ZnO structures, size and surface properties was also studied.
ZnO structures synthesized employing C.
myxa were found to be hexagonal, triangular and round in shape which was determined using CFE-SEM.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of compounds.
Furthermore, C.
myxa mediated ZnO microstructures shows good bactericidal activity against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria.
