    This study explores the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using cellar spider extracts as a sustainable alternative to traditional methods involving hazardous chemicals and radiation. The spider extracts effectively reduced zinc acetate dihydrate, yielding white precipitates indicative of ZnO NPs. Characterization through SEM revealed diverse morphologies, including spherical, rod-like, hexagonal, and uneven particles forming platelet-like aggregates. Further analyses, such as HPM, 3D nanoprofiler, and EDS, provided insights into size, shape, morphology, surface chemistry, thermal stability, and optical characteristics, quantifying the intended properties of the synthesized ZnO NPs. Antibacterial assays against E. coli and B. subtilis demonstrated significant antibacterial activity, affirming the nanoparticles' potential for antimicrobial applications. This green synthesis approach, validated through comprehensive characterization and quantitative measurements, offers a promising and environmentally friendly route for producing functional ZnO NPs.

    This study presents an eco-friendly approach to synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using extracts from cellar spiders, addressing environmental and health concerns associated with conventional methods. The spider extract efficiently reduced zinc acetate dihydrate, and the synthesized ZnO NPs underwent comprehensive quantitative characterization, including size, shape, morphology, surface chemistry, thermal stability, and optical properties using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), zeta potential measurements, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The nanoparticles exhibited intended characteristics, and their adsorption capability for methylene blue (MB) was quantitatively assessed using the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, providing numerical insights into MB removal efficiency. The study demonstrates the potential of these green-synthesized ZnO NPs for applications in environmental remediation, wastewater treatment, and antibacterial therapies, contributing to both sustainable nanomaterial development and quantitative understanding of their functional properties.

    Understanding the atomic behaviour of pure graphene is crucial in manipulating its properties for achieving optoelectronics with high absorption indexes and efficiencies. However, previous research employing the DFT approach emphasised its zero-band gap nature, not its unique optical properties. Therefore, this study employed ab initio calculations to revisit the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of pristine graphene using the WIEN2K code. The results reveal that the PBE-GGA valence and conduction bands cross at -0.7 eV. Our calculations demonstrated that the absorption coefficient of graphene has the strongest light penetration in the parallel direction. Furthermore, our results not only present the best possible propagation of light in pure graphene but also reveal that the linear relationship between the formation of the free electron carriers and the energy absorption is responsible for the high optical conductivity observed in pure graphene, as indicated by the peaks. Lastly, the metallic properties of graphene are reflected by the variation in spin up and down that appears, as evidenced by the total and partial densities of states, and the large refractive index attributed to its high electron mobility confirms its metallic nature.
