Green Hydrothermal Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for UV-Light-Induced Photocatalytic Degradation of lemon peel in an Aqueous Environment

Abstract

In this study, the discussion on the green hydrothermal synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles is explored. It also implies several application areas like chemical, mechanical, industrial, and food manufacturing. The well-established nanotechnology leads to the development of green synthesis methods for multiple nanoparticles. In the literature review section, the use of environment-friendly chemicals or energy is analysed through the green synthesis process. Several green synthesis techniques are easy to use and flexible enough for large-scale manufacturing. The recent study addressed the verification and features of green synthesized ZnO NPs through the utilization of a wide range of instrumentation technologies like FTIR, UV-Vis, TEM, and SEM. The recent nanoparticle’s disadvantages are related to the synthesis methods. This method includes high costs, long processing times, complex and difficult operations, and the usage of hazardous materials specifically. The findings of the chapter include the exploration of the spectra of FTIR, TEM, SEM, and UV-vis with a thorough analysis. Therefore, the discussion section discusses all of the nanotechnologies.
