Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the novel usage of the aqueous leaf extract of Annona reticulata (AR) to produce zinc oxide nanoparticles (AR-ZnONPs) by reducing zinc nitrate. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis revealed that phytochemical compounds in AR leaf extract was responsible for capping and effective stabilization of AR-ZnONPs. The energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra showed the existence of a zinc peak at 1 keV. In addition, the arrangement of a face-centered cubic crystalline construction was also confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The biologically produced AR-ZnONPs have a potential cytotoxicity effect against human lung cancer (A549) cells. Furthermore, AR-ZnONPs exhibited tremendously degradation efficiency for the methylene blue (MB) almost 93.45% removal in 70 min sunlight irradiation.
