The ZnO particle with varieties of morphology was prepared from ice-cube of zinc ammonium complex at boiling water surface in 1 min induction of thermal shock. The zinc ammonium complex in ice cube was developed using zinc acetate and biologically activated ammonia in 1 hr and kept in the freezer. Temperature gradient behaviour of the water medium during thermal shock was captured by the thermal camera and thermometer. Morphology study revealed a variety of flower-like ZnO particles with variable size from 1.0 to 2.5 mu m. Further, ZnO particle morphologies were tuned by adding trisodium citrate and hexamine to obtain uniform spherical (2-3 mu m) and flower (3-4 mu m) shapes, respectively. XRD patterns revealed that all ZnO samples are of a hexagonal structure. Photocatalytic inactivation of E. coli has been investigated using various particle morphologies of ZnO in an aqueous solution/overcoated glass slide under sunlight. The photo-inactivation of E. coli by ZnO particles in suspension condition was better when compared to a coated glass slide method. AFM study confirmed the destruction of bacterial cell wall membrane by the photocatalytic effect. The particles morphology of photocatalyst is well dependent on antibacterial activity under sunlight.
