Rust-induced photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of ZnO nanoparticles derived from Prosopis juliflora leaf extracts by biosynthesis using the hydrothermal method at 170 degrees C are reported in this study. The characterization has been accomplished by various methods such as XRD, DRS, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDAX, and PL spectra. XRD exhibits that ZnO has a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a preferred orientation of 101 planes. The functional groups, which are present in the leaf extracts, are responsible for corresponding peaks in FT-IR spectra. The FESEM images of the synthesized nanoparticles show the morphology sphere like structure. ZnO particle size of 65 nm has been observed from HR-TEM analysis. The elemental composition has a good agreement with the biosynthesized ZnO nanoparticles. The antibacterial activities have been carried out in vitro assays against four different pathogens viz Escherichia coli (E. coli), Rhodococcus rhodochrous (R. rhodochrous), Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Vibrio cholera (V. Cholera) against a standard (streptomycin sulfate). Furthermore, the Photocatalytic ability of the titled nanoparticles has been experimented from the rust solution with methylene blue and degradation under UV radiation of 99%. The proposed mechanism is based on scavenger studies and it is investigated during the photo degradation of Methylene blue. The catalytic amount and recovery of photocatalyst have also been studied in detail. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.
