Green synthesis of ZnO-NiO nanocomposite using peel extract and their significant antibacterial properties against series of pathogenic strains.

This paper discusses the green synthesis of a ZnO-NiO nanocomposite using an extract of peel as a capping and reducing agent. The green synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis) techniques. XRD is explored for crystallinity, and the crystalline size is found to be 36 nm for the nanocomposite.
