Achieving the smallest crystallite/particle size of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) reported to date, measuring 5.2/12.41 nm with Justicia adhatoda (J. adhatoda) leaf extract, this study introduces a facile green synthesis. Utilizing aqueous J. extract as both reducing and stabilizing agent, method leverages plant's rich phytochemical composition produce highly crystalline morphologically controlled ZnO NPs. This precise particle control highlights effectiveness synthesis process in morphological tuning. The synthesized NPs were thoroughly characterized using XRD, UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR, FESEM, HRTEM, which collectively revealed superior crystallinity, morphology, unique surface properties conferred by bio-capping. photocatalytic performance these biogenic was evaluated for degradation two model pollutants: malachite (MG), synthetic dye, 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), toxic organic compound. exhibited exceptional efficiency, achieving 99.8% MG within 180 minutes demonstrating rapid reduction 4-NP 4-aminophenol reaction rate constant 0.245 min-1 under UV sunlight irradiation. Mechanistic studies attributed high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation electron-hole pair interactions, supported improved charge separation area. work not only establishes potential adhatoda-mediated addressing persistent pollutants but also sets benchmark size-controlled By delivering scalable eco-friendly water remediation technologies, advances nanotechnology.

Abiotic and biotic stresses impact seed growth, resulting in economic losses. Seeds are being subjected to an increasing number of abiotic stress combinations as a result global warming climate change, which has adverse effects on their growth production. Drought, flood, salinity, heavy mineral contamination, cold, heat were all found have negative germination. Because massive surface area-to-volume ratio, nanoparticles—microscopic pieces with nanoscale dimension ranging from 1-100 nm—have exceptional thermal conductivity, catalytic reactivity, nonlinear optical performance, chemical durability. There various methods for creating nanoparticles, such chemical, physical, biological ones. However, because dangerous compounds used reducing agents, the physical procedures expensive, complicated, might be hazardous environment. The synthesis nanoparticles using green approaches may easily scaled up, they also cost-effective. superior qualities, greenly coordinated currently preferred over traditionally delivered NPs.
