Abstract

A green synthesis approach was employed to produce zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) utilizing Aegle marmelos fruit extract as a natural capping agent. The resulting nanoparticles (AMF-ZnONPs) were analyzed using various characterization techniques. The findings highlighted the presence of bioactive compounds in the fruit extract, which played a key role in stabilizing and forming the nanoparticles. The AMF-ZnONPs exhibited a wurtzite crystal structure with a particle size of 52 nm and hexagonal morphology. The antibacterial activity demonstrated significant inhibition zones against Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with maximum inhibition zones of 22 ± 0.30 and 20 ± 0.35 mm, respectively. Antioxidant properties were confirmed using a DPPH assay, showing high free radical scavenging activity. Additionally, the photocatalytic efficiency of AMF-ZnONPs was tested for the degradation of methylene blue and reactive red 120 dyes under sunlight, achieving degradation efficiencies of 95% and 93%, respectively. These results underscore the multifunctional potential of green-synthesized ZnONPs for environmental and biomedical applications, offering a sustainable approach to pollution control and antimicrobial resistance.

蜜瓜果实中氧化锌纳米颗粒的制备与表征：抗氧化、抗菌和光催化性能的评价

采用绿色合成方法，以柚果提取物为天然封盖剂制备氧化锌纳米颗粒（ZnONPs）。利用各种表征技术对所得纳米颗粒（AMF-ZnONPs）进行了分析。研究结果强调了水果提取物中存在的生物活性化合物，这些化合物在稳定和形成纳米颗粒方面发挥了关键作用。AMF-ZnONPs呈纤锌矿晶体结构，粒径为52 nm，形貌为六边形。对蜡样芽孢杆菌和铜绿假单胞菌均有明显的抑制区，最大抑制区分别为22±0.30 mm和20±0.35 mm。用DPPH测定证实了抗氧化性能，显示出高的自由基清除活性。此外，还测试了AMF-ZnONPs在日光下对亚甲基蓝和活性红120染料的光催化降解效率，降解效率分别达到95%和93%。这些结果强调了绿色合成的ZnONPs在环境和生物医学应用方面的多功能潜力，为污染控制和抗菌素耐药性提供了可持续的方法。
