The formation and antibacterial activity of Zn/ZnO nanoparticle produced in leaf extract solution using a laser ablation technique.

The single-step green synthesis has been successfully established to prepare a bi-phase structure of Zn/ZnO nanoparticles using laser ablation in a liquid medium. Nd: YAG laser with the wavelength of 1064 nm was employed to perform the laser ablation in pure water and () leaf extract, with the leaf, were extracted in pure water and some concentration of ethanol. ZnO nanoparticles can be obtained via laser ablation in pure water, while the usage of P.
