Abstract:

Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized in water at 180 0 C for two hours in microwave. ZnO nanoparticles was characterizes by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by green route has been investigated and compared with that of commercial ZnO. The photodegradation rate of methyl orange (MO) was determined for each experiment and the highest values were observed for ZnO nanoparticles obtained by green route suggestion that it absorbed large fraction of the solar energy as a result of its high surface area which is confirmed by SEM and surface area calculations
