Aloe vera Phytochemical-Mediated Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles: Zn²⁺ Complexation, Controlled Alkaline Precipitation, Surface Capping, and Calcination-Induced Wurtzite Crystallization

Plant-assisted synthesis offers a lower-hazard route to zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials, yet the amount of plant extract can simultaneously alter nucleation, crystal growth, surface passivation, aggregation, and optical response. In this study, ZnO powders were prepared by alkaline precipitation from zinc acetate using...
