Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticles has been a major breakthrough in the field of medical and physical researches. However, the deployment of alloy nanoparticles has not been well reported. This work focuses on the characterization and determination of the addictive effect of synthesized Na-Zn alloy nanoparticles. Zinc sulphate heptahydrate , sodium hydroxide and respective extract of W. indica and E. maclata were reacted. The synthesized alloy nanoparticles were characterised with Jenway 6405 UV–Vis spectrophotometer, Cary 630 Agilent Technologies FTIR and Q250 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Eindhoven Netherlands. The alloy nanoparticles were observed to possess bactericidal and fungicidal effect against selected bacteria and fungi. It was also observed to possess the peak absorbance around 300 to 600nm, the Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy showed the presence of reactive groups while the SEM weused to determine the surface ratio.
