Abstract
A green method by Verbascum speciosum was used to synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). ZnO NPs
were coated with silver to synthesize Ag–ZnO nanocomposite (NCs). The physicochemical properties of Ag–ZnO
NCs were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), field
emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering
(DLS), and zeta potential. The FTIR indicated the peak of Zn–O vibration and some hydroxyl and carboxyl
groups. PXRD analyses confirmed the synthesis of ZnO NPs and Ag–ZnO NCs. Due to the size of the crystallite
obtained from PXRD, solid-phase sizes (from FESEM and TEM images), and dynamic sizes from DLS, agglomeration
was observed. The Ag–ZnO NCs showed a negative charge surface (
