Abstract

The synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using phytocompounds has drawn a lot of interest from scientists and the pharmaceutical sector. The phytocompounds from Terminalia chebula are the most promising in Southeast Asian nations for treating a wide range of human illnesses. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles made from T. chebula fruit are created through a downstream process. The deterioration of the dye compounds was caused by green ZnO, which increased the surface area on the electron hole. The green synthesised ZnO NPs in vitro antioxidant capabilities demonstrated a substantial inhibitory activity of the tested agents against free radicals. According to our findings, ZnO nanoparticles produced by T. chebula fruits exhibited enhanced scavenging and reducing activities against reactive oxygen radicals as well as efficient photodegradation of methylene blue dye.

Conclusion

Nowadays, Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles considered as the high efficient, cost effective and eco-friendly products and also a sustainable product for chemical based nanoparticles. Terminalia chebula mediated titanium dioxide (GZnO) nanoparticles DPPH and FRAP antioxidant studies revealed the enhanced oxygen radical scavenging activities. GZnO nanoparticles exhibited the dye degradation (photocatalytic) activities against methylene blue dye.
