Abstract :
In our present work, we evaluate the effect of precursors on the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) by
novel hydrothermal method. The structure and morphology of the samples were subjected to extensive investigations
by PXRD, FTIR, FESEM and HRTEM with respect to the determination of the formed phases and morphology.
Surface area measurement of the samples was carried out by standard Brunauer-Emmett-Teller technique.
Antibacterial response of the samples prepared using two different alkali was carried out against Clostridium
perfringens and Salmonella enterica by well diffusion method. In vitro anticancer efficacy of the NPs has been tested
on HeLa cell lines by 3-(4,5-dimehtylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.
