Abstract

In this research, we provide a method for synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles using Moringa Oleifera Leaf (M.O Leaf) Extract. UV-VIS Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, EDS, X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to create and characterize ZnO nanoparticles. The spherical size structure of the synthesized nanoparticles with an average grain size of 1 nm was validated by SEM, EXD, and XRD analysis. After the sunlight exposure, the photocatalytic reagent was used to break down the organic dyes in the synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. Nearly 96–97% of the titan yellow and Congo Red dyes were broken down by ZnO nanoparticles.
