Abstract

The biosynthesis protocol of functional oxide like Zinc oxide nanoparticles has gained serious momentum in nanomedicine. Nickel doped Zinc oxide in the solution of allium cepa has been emplaced in this work. The AC serves as a potential reducing agent. The surface morphology of the formulated sample where obtained using scanning electron microscope (SEM) which revealed pronounced crystals of nanopyramid shape with increase in concentration of reducing agent, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy revealed a single phase characteristic of the sample and the Fourier transform infrared (FITR) result revealed the presence of functional groups and chemical bonding which culminated into a shift from higher wave number to a lower wave number. The obtained properties of the formulated samples were influenced by the AC concentration. It is remarkable that the AC-NiZnONPs sample formulated is propitious for potential biomedical application
