Biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide

abstract-Current research is focused on obtaining zinc oxide nanoparticles through environmentally friendly syntheses. The interest in developing zinc oxide is due to its applicability in electronics, optoelectronics, medicine, cosmetics, food industry, etc. Along with the increase in applicability, the need to synthesize ZnO in environmentally friendly conditions also increases. In this work, the biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide consisted of elaboration of zinc oxide by using ovoalbumin and zinc nitrate as precursors. The optimal reaction conditions are room temperature, basic pH, four hours and $120^{\circ \mathrm{C}}$ for degradation of ovoalbumin. Samples were analyzed by ATRFTIR to determine when ZnO formed and completely eliminated the protein. This synthesis proves to be an easy method to implement at the laboratory level for obtaining zinc oxide starting from natural resources.
