Abstract

In this study we aim to biosynthesize nanoparticles from zinc oxide by green synthesis process using dandelion leaf extracts. Spectroscopy device studies confirm an important tool for studying the optical properties of nanomaterials, where absorption is measured as a function of wavelength to determine multiple properties such as energy gap, UV-Vis particle size, Fourier IR FTIR transform, and the presence of biomolecules and metal oxides. Structural analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the formation of pure hexagonal phase structures of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Surface morphologies of zinc oxide nanoparticles observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicate that most hexagonal zinc oxide crystals biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibit strong antimicrobial antifungal behavior when using the agar drilling method. Synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles actively exhibit the three strains of Candida spp, namely C. albicans, C. glabrata andC. tropicalis
