The present work aims at the green synthesis of metal oxides of zinc, iron, and copper using the aqueous extract of Terminalia belerica as a reductant and stabilizer. The entire reaction process was simple, cost-effective, and convenient to handle without use of any other stabilizing or reducing agents. The successful formation of the metal oxide nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy. For thus-prepared nanoparticles were characterized, a series of techniques were employed including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We used these nanoparticles to demonstrate their antibacterial efficacy against some common standard bacterial pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC-6538), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC-441), Escherichia coli (ATCC-8739), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC-43816), and Salmonella enterica (MTCC-3858). The results indicate that these metal oxide nanoparticles may become a potential candidate for use in biological and pharmaceutical areas to fight against multi-drug resistant superbugs.
