I am getting extra peaks in my XRD graph of essential oil mediated zno nanoparticle which supposed to be of zinc hydroxy nitrates from the literature review. Would this sharp zinc hydroxy nitrate peak has any impact on the membrane stabilizing activity and antimicrobial activity.
I am not an expert in this field, but I am very interested and have researched to find an answer. I received some assistance from tlooto.com for this response. Could you please review the response below to see if it is correct?
The presence of zinc hydroxy nitrate in ZnO nanoparticle synthesis can affect both membrane stabilizing and antimicrobial activities. Zinc hydroxy nitrate itself exhibits antimicrobial properties [3][4], potentially enhancing the overall efficacy of ZnO nanoparticles. The sharp peaks in your XRD graph indicate a significant presence of zinc hydroxy nitrate, which might alter the interaction of the nanoparticles with microbial membranes, thus enhancing their stabilizing activity [5]. However, the exact impact depends on the concentration and specific microbial strains involved. Further experimental validation is crucial to ascertain these effects [1][2].

I gave a recommendation for the detail of the answer, which happens rarely.
