The role of neem phytochemicals (capping agents, reducing agents) in controlling particle size, morphology, and surface properties of Ag-ZnO bimetallic nanoparticles has not been systematically investigated. While neem-mediated synthesis of individual metal oxides is documented, the specific biochemical interactions governing Ag-ZnO nucleation and growth kinetics remain unexplored.
