Correlation between organic residuals of green synthesized nanoparticles and resistive switching behavior.

In this work, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized using avocado seed extract and annealed at different annealing temperatures from 400 to 800 °C. The morphology of the nanoparticles changes from poly shapes at 400 °C to spherical ones at 800 °C, and particle sizes increase from ∼42 nm to ∼128 nm. The Ag/ZnO@400/FTO memory device exhibits stable resistive switching over 100 cycles and a resistance window of approximately 150.

Enhancement of antibacterial activities of green synthesized-CuO/ZnO nanocomposites using Boehmeria nivea leaf extract.

This study investigated CuO and ZnO nanoparticles and CuO/ZnO nanocomposites in a friendly environment with a low-cost and renewable biosynthesis method. This approach involved using Boehmeria nivea leaf extract to facilitate the growth and formation of nanocomposites with performance-enhancing phytochemicals released during the co-precipitation process. All nanoparticles/nanocomposites explored the microstructure, morphology, and point defects using FTIR, XRD, SEM, and PL characterization techniques.
